I had a stack of Schnibble patterns I had bought over time but not yet made, so I went through them and selected “McGuffey”.
I used two charm packs of Lila Tueller’s super fun, bright, and cute “Spirit”collection.
I chose them because the colors are perfect for a dear friend, so it will be a Christmas present!
Yogi seemed to enjoy making McGuffey, too!!
Well….at least between naps!! LOL!!
I used a variegated light green thread for free-motion quilting
it with a meandering leaf design.
And the fabric I used for the backing was pulled from my stash.
Also super cute!! With owls!!
So, for the first time in months, I am not the last “Schnibbler” to finish their monthly project!! YAY!!
I am sooooooo loving this retirement thang!! Woo hoo!! Every day is a Saturday!!
Oh, yeah, I have added a Pin It button to my posting! So feel free to use it, if you’d like !!

ReplyDeleteWonderful gift - I so love seeing the laid- back charm of Yogi pictures. Always reminds me of my little sewing buddy, Brady - "Let's Go Sew" was all it took and he always beat there. Judy
