A Few Quilting Suggestions from Linda's
When it comes time to quilt your Dear Santa top, we recommend using a Glide thread in a soft, neutral tone (Cashmere 17527) that lets the quilting texture shine without competing with the piecing. Glide’s smooth finish and strength make it a great choice for detailed edge-to-edge quilting or gentle custom designs.
For the quilting design itself, the Christmas Whimsey Digital E2E is a lovely option. Its playful holiday motifs add movement and texture while keeping the overall feel lighthearted and festive, a perfect match for the Dear Santa quilt’s cheerful personality.
Whether you’re sewing this quilt for your own home, as a heartfelt gift, or simply to enjoy some seasonal stitching time, Dear Santa is a wonderful way to celebrate the magic of Christmas, one stitch at a time.

Thank you so much for giving such a nice Christmas gift. I was thinking about doing another Christmas quilt (haven’t done one in about 5 or so years) and this was perfect. Even the edge 2 edge design would be great. Thank you again.
