Welcome to
Creatin' in the Sticks!
Today is the first day of the first blog hop of 2022!
I'm excited to kick off the
Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop
where bloggers are sharing favorite "chilly" projects.
To get the blog hop started,
I present my
Scrappy Teddy Bear Quilt
Joan at MooseStash Quilting presented bloggers with the challenge to make something
inspired by
bears, blue, or anything cold.
Thank you, Joan, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!
The timing of this blog hop couldn't be better.
My Scrappy Teddy Bear Quilt is for my new grandson
and
his room is all bears.
I took advantage of the hop and made him a minky backed throw
(perfect for tummy time)
and
used up a bunch of 2 1/2 inch squares from my stash, too!
win-win!
I went old-school to design the quilt and drew it out on graph paper.
(my favorite way to design!)
I added another border and quilted it fast with meandering.
It's about 38" x 48"
Get inspired by all the blogs posting for the Polar Bear Plunge this week:

I thought I would share, even though he isn't on the quilt, he sure is cute in his
Chiefs!
Oh my goodness! Your teddy quilt is soooooooo cute and your grandies are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the teddy bear quilt!
ReplyDeleteCarla, that teddy bear quilt is SEW cute! I love the blue background--just right (esp. since that was part of the hop requirements LOL). However, the picture of your grandkids is the best part of your post!! I can't believe your granddaughter is that big! Both are really cute--as all grandkids are. Love the Chiefs gear. What a game that was! Glad they pulled it off, finally. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your polar bear quilt! Cute grandkids.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how cute is that quilt. I know some little guy who is going to LOVE what his grammy made for him. Your granddaughter is growing up so fast. She looks a lot like you. :-) Thanks for kicking off our 2022 blog hop year.
