| "Jolly Friends" ~ 22.5" X 22.5" ~ hand quilted ~ 1992 |
This was an original pattern that I taught at a long-ago quilt shop back in 1992. A freezer paper template star block came to life as Santa Claus with a little applique and embellishment. The class was a popular one and I met many wonderful friends through that opportunity... Quiltkeemosabe was new in town, she took the class at the invitation of another relative newcomer and we hit it off immediately; the grand adventures (and there have been many of them) began from that day on. Twenty-one years later the tables are turned, she's the teacher, I sit in her classes; through it all we've both moved away, lived other places, and found our respective ways back home. Our adventures continue. She inspires me!
..."and we'll be jolly friends forever more"...
Life is Good!

Oh, do you know the "Jolly Playmate" song, too? My Mom used to sing that to us all the time. : ) Very appropriate for this post.
What a fun pattern, Mrs. G. You are a clever one!
