Blogger Quilt Festival 2009Mr. Santa Claus is my favorite quilt I have done, but working on my new grand babies quilt and it is going to be up there with him. I hope to finish it soon and will be back with pictures of it.
My story behind Mr. Santa Claus, I had my antique and quilt shop at the time this was made. 9/11 had just taken place and all I did was go to the shop and watch my little TV. I had to get something going, so I made this pattern and started cutting and piecing. It turned out a lot larger than I thought, but he is one of my favorites.
If you haven't been to visit every one's blog, there is some beautiful work out on blog land. Amy @ http://parkcitygirl.blogspot.com/ put this together, with some great giveaways.

I can certainly see why Mr. Santa is your favorite quilt. Santa would make anyone smile.
he is SO cute.
He sure is weet, but oh how I love the sneak peek of the baby quilt, it looks like it's going to be adorable.
I made a christmas quilt just after 9/11 too...comfort quilting maybe?
He is super sweet. I can see Mr. Santa becoming an heirloom around which many traditions will be practiced and memories made.
Very nicely done. Can't wait to see the baby quilt too.
Your jolly Santa is great! I love fat old men in red just a weekness of mine.
