Santa's Reindeer Wall Hanging

This quilted wall hanging is very simple to piece and embroider, and it has a distinctive rustic look. It's a great decorative piece to hang in your living room or den. The design used on the central panel is Santa's Reindeer for a large hoop. We quilted the panels using the Christmas Ornament Quilting Set.

Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with batting. Spread your panels over it.

Pin all three layers together with 1" pins in the corners and mark the areas for quilting with embroidery designs. from the Christmas Ornament Quilting Set.

We made the embroidery and added some stippling in a free-motion style all over the pieces.

After the quilting is finished, press the work with heavy steam and trim the work - the opposite sides should be straight and of the same length.

Finish the raw edges with binding.

To connect the panels in a wall hanging, use ribbons, or make fabric strips. Cut four strips measuring 2 1/2" x 4 1/2". Fold them face inwards, and sew the long sides together 1/4" from the edge. Turn the piece right side out. Press. Handstitch them to the back of the panels to connect them together.

You can further decorate the piece with any Christmas ornaments. We added some fabric flowers.
