Quilter - Artiste - Courtepointière

My quilting journey began with this quilt in 2003.

Oh, ReinDeer! is the story of Rudolf, the funny Reindeer from Finland, who came for a trip to Canada and got stuck on the Moon. Good thing his Canadian friends, Polar Bear, Skunk, Walrus, Frog, Beaver, Raccoon, Moose and, of course, Puffin canoed over to save the night and help him down with a rope ladder. 

Fused machine appliqué, hand embellished, hand quilted. Cotton, cotton blends, fake furs, acrylic felt, leatherette, cotton rope, waxed cotton, googly eyes, grommets, polyester batting.

Original design. Private collection.
