This past summer I enjoyed shopping for quilting patterns and purchased several from Happy Hollow Designs and have loved creating these fun Holiday characters. I shared the witch a couple of months ago and wanted to share with you the Santa.
He is easy to make because of the iron on OZsome Accents Fusible Quick Grid. It makes the sewing of little squares fun because they match well without a lot of effort.
You just cut your squares and place them on the grid in the right place then iron them into place and sew long rows instead of little boxes. Before you sew you can check to see if you like your colors and if not you just pull the fabric off the fusible grid and replace it with the right color.
I am excited to be sharing this fusible grid technique at the quilt house here in Arabia this month. These stick characters are quilted then pulled over a 2 1/2" kraft tube the kind you use for shipping. You add the final accents like the nose and the glasses and you have an adorable project to help brighten your home for the holidays.
