Hi Quilting Friends,
When our local quilt shop just down the street was going out of business (sigh!), Sharon and I found the cutest polar bear fabric with adorable little penguins, which I used for inspiration as I drew my little polar bears for this quilt.
Introducing our newest quilt, Polar Pals!
This is the first block that I drew. This poor little fellow feels all alone on that big ice chunk! I really wanted to say something cheery about the little guy and came up with this, “Friendship means that you are never truly alone.”
Wow, I found myself a theme! And this isn’t just a polar bear quilt, it is a quilt about friendship!
“A friend is always there when you are skeered and can’t find your mommy!”
“Friends are always open to a good belly laugh!”
“Friends understand if you are shy!”
AND, last but not least … “Always keep your heart open to unexpected new friendships!”
Aren’t they the cutest? Now what would be the perfect pieced block to go along with these cute & cuddly critters? The North Star is always so beautiful, so I started looking for the perfect star to finish this quilt and came up with this one:
We at Ms. P. are grateful for all of the new friends that we have gathered along the way and we hope that you have enjoyed seeing our newest design. Thank you for visiting us today and happy quilting!
Susan

Aww. thanks Susan! I agree; it is just too hard to choose a favorite. I’m partial to the Yeti, so I may need a Yeti mug rug for my collection. ;o) Sharon

These guys are so cute. My word for 2019 is kindness, hoping that each of us chooses to be kind in our dealings with each other.
