Santa Spotted….

..holidaying on the desert!!  Yes, there were definite “Ho Ho Ho’s” coming from our trailer last night as I stitched this ‘not so jolly’, fat man down!

Old Santa looks a little startled…like he has been wakened from a long winter’s nap…well it is ALMOST Spring…

And what is all THAT noise??…

Why it’s the Blue Bird of Happiness…singing a little Spring ditty…

Now old Frosty looks worried…YIKES!  SPRING??  You know what that means…there is going to be a puddle on this quilt!!  AND it won’t be from the dogs…

Whew…I see a snowflake…! P1060757    

And my body is still round and fat….

And if I do melt and leave a puddle…I’m blaming it on those two MUTTS down there..

Hey, what’d we do?  We were just playing ball?…Geezzzz..:o)

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!

  1. Paulette,

    I am loving your quilt blocks the best of all I've seen, and possibly even more so than the original. I've not started mine yet, collecting fabrics, etc.

    What kind of threads are you using? also, are all your fabrics felted wool or are you using some felt too? Can't wait to see more.

  3. Looks like you are zooming along on your WCQ. I love how the dogs came out. I guess I'll have to add one to my WCQ, as I have one dog at home. You give me inspiration to get stitching. I finally found some white wool for some snowmen.

  5. Your WC quilt is coming along superbly, Paulette. I just love how some of your designs spill out onto other blocks. This gives it added movement and dimension and allows the eye to travel unrestrictedly throughout.

    Have you studied art? Just curious.

    Whatever...just keep on creating because you're doing a marvelous job!
