Quilting: July BOM
9 kudoz

July BOM

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Whimsical, Holiday, Cute, Traditional


Materials

scraps!

What was your inspiration?

I liked the blue fabric with the santas and thought he would look good in the center and one thing led to another and I made my own Santa. I have an old pair of Santa slipper sox that gave me the idea on how to make him. I made his hat the same shape as the santa in the fabric :) Now I want to go back and embellish all my other blocks!

What are you most proud of?

I think my Santa turned out real cute---not practical of course, but real cute!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

When embellishing: Less is NOT more--LOL

Great idea, as long as you don't have pets and fold it up at night I think it is too precious to not put on the bed.

Thanks for the kind words. And I have already noticed that my cat is very interested in Santa :)

I like your blocks very much. I am using Christmas fabric also, but I did not think about embellishing. Hmmm, great idea!

Perhaps not practical, but hang it on the wall at Christmas and wait for the compliments! I think it's lovely - such fun - and your Father Christmas is so cute!
