Starting the Panda Quilt

I prepared the fabric yesterday and started to make the blocks for the quilt today. I am making this quilt for my daughter for her birthday in May. She loves pandas.
Here is a link to the pattern:
Panda pattern by Critter Pattern Works
I make her pattern for a dinosaur quilt when my daughter was about 4 years old. She is now 20 years old. Where did the time go????
I think the pandas will be a little easier than the dinosaurs with all their claws, etc.
I have one block fused….5 more to go.

Oogie Boogie is Done!

I can’t believe how late I am in terms of working on and finishing the ornament this year. I have been making my daughter an ornament each year since she was born. This year is ornament #21.  You can read about all the others by following this link:
Cloth ornament tradition.
For the last several years I have been making the characters from the movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas.”
Oogie Boogie is pretty big…about 8 inches tall.  I was trying to keep the same scale as the other characters that I had made.

Well the ornament is done for another year.  Merry Christmas to all!

Dear Santa, I’ve Been Good

Dear Santa,
You know that I have been really good this year.....right? I didn’t ask for any fabric from my family for Christmas  because they think that I have enough already.  They just don’t know that you can never have enough fabric!

So I would love to ask you for a Cobblestone Stonehenge fat quarter bundle from the Fat Quarter Shop.  This is just what I need to create a beautiful quilt of an old stone building.

I had a really hard time picking out the fabric that I really wanted from the Fat Quarter Shop because they had so many wonderful fabrics.  Santa, I hope that I am on your list of nice boys and girls this year and that I will find this under my tree on Christmas morning.

Hugs

Chris
