Santa Quilt

Several years ago, 1993 to be exact, I went to a guild meeting and someone brought in a Santa quilt for Show and Tell that I fell in love with. Can you tell that I'm very fond of Santas? I asked her what the pattern was and then went out and purchased "I Remember Santa Skating on Mistletoe Pond". I liked the fact that his bag was made of a quilt design. Everything was fused down and outlined with a satin stitch, through all the layers, so the only free motion quilting left to do was in the background. I was new to FM quilting, so that was a good thing.

This quilt hangs over the couch in my family room, which is decorated mostly with Santas, including a small tree that has only Santa ornaments.
