This morning, he discovered my
Ribbon Candy quilt on the couch.
He even changes position while sleeping.
Does he not look beyond comfy?
Yogi is our third "son" and we love him dearly.
Do you think he is dreaming about squirrels?

I really love these funky bright blocks!
I'm looking forward to quilting this one!
Tonight I was checking email on my laptop and watching the Grinch on TV... Yogi really didn't like the Grinch at all!
Every time the Grinch came on-screen, Yogi started barking and trying to jump up to get him!
What a good protector
of the Christmas spirit!!
His heart is definitely NOT
three sizes too small!!

I love the funky bright fabrics in the collection and especially the addition of the bright aqua blue and lime green! I hope to get the top completed and pinned together ready to be quilted tomorrow. It is just one of several new Christmas quilts I'd love to finish and put out this Christmas. Do you have lots of Christmas quilts?
My husband and I went to see "New Moon" last night. The movie was reallllllly good.... however, a word to the wise-
NEVER GO SEE A TEENAGE MOVIE
ON OPENING NIGHT!! UGH!!!
The theater was packed with teenage girls who screamed and yelled whenever their favorite heart-throb came on the screen. YIKES!!
So? Are you on team Edward or team Jacob????
This Santa was made in three pieces-
two mittened arms and the head.
I like placing the squares on the grid...
kinda like a mosaic puzzle!!
Then you press them in one direction.
Then you fold and sew the opposite direction seams.
And you're done with the quilt top! Then use it as a pattern to cut out the batting and backing. You sew it wrong sides together, leaving an opening to turn it through. Turn it through that opening, press it well and hand-stitch the opening closed. The quilt it as desired and add the embellishments.
I used a heavy variegated thread and grid quilted Santa's suit. I quilted fall lines on his hat and a big curl on her mittens.
My favorite part I quilted was his beard with big curls using a shiny silvery thread. I can't wait to see how it looks hanging above the fireplace. I'm thinking I could make a garland for him to hold at each end in his mittens that would spell out
"We Believe"....
The coordinating fabric looks like a knitted cap. I appliqued a mitten on the four corners with blanket stitching around their edges. The faces of the snowmen are just precious!
Hope you are having a wonderfully relaxing Sunday!
The sun is finally out here!! :-)
