This was my second time quilting this Moda Swell Christmas quilt made by MaryJo.
She first had me quilt up the log cabin quilt which is the background for the Santa.
She then appliqued by hand the Santa with a layer of wool batting behind him.
She wanted some custom texture elements in the beard and white fuzzy of his outfit.
Some internet research helped with ideas for the facial features. Quilting faces is always a bit nerve wracking for me. You can ruin a nice face with some awkward quilting lines for sure!
I used a new-to-me wavy ruler for the mitten.
He turned out pretty cute! Thanks for this fun project MaryJo!
