Santa's Helper

Santa has left an early Christmas present! No, not just the inspirational backing fabric, but....


Santa's Helper with backing fabric inspiration

Oh my! Could it be a PUPPY?

Oh! This little guy is adorable! And so ready play!

All wiggly and full of excitement - that tail just won't stop wagging!

Santa's Helper - my wiggly tail
Isn't he cute? Such an adorable little fellow - I think I'll name him Santa's Helper!

 I still can't believe Santa placed him under the tree.

With so much joy, he's certainly wiggled his way into my heart! Careful - he's coming in for a lick!

Has Santa's Helper wiggled into your heart too? Contact me via email for adoption (that is, the pattern!). He does require an experienced owner, someone who has had puppies before, and able to deal with applique, paper piecing, and mitering corners. But once that tail starts wagging, he'll be all yours!

And check out the Pine Needle Quilting video to see how to quilt a pine tree!

 Thank you Santa!

    You shared this quilt at the guild meeting last week but it was a quick glimpse. I'm glad you posted it and provided close-ups. What a fun quilt.

    He has personality galore! I love the quilting lines around the tail. And the little tongue sticking out is adorable :) Thanks for linking with TGIFF this week.
