Hi Quilting Friends,
Welcome to the “Polar Bear Plunge” blog hop, hosted by our quilting friend Joan from MooseStash Quilts. The challenge for this blog hop was to create and share a wintery quilt project, featuring polar bears, snow, or blue. We’re looking forward to seeing the rest of the participating bloggers’ posts for fun and inspiration.
We seem to have an affinity for polar bears and snowy themes here at Ms P Designs. Take a look at our “Projects Past”, which feature bears and wintery scenes:
I have wanted to make this Polar Bear and Yeti block since the first time I saw Susan’s drawing, and now’s my chance! Here’s the original “Yeti Pal” block, from Susan’s “Polar Pals” quilt:

And here’s the same precious pair of pals, featured on my new mug rug:

I really enjoyed stitching up my Yeti pal block, and I love the finished project! I had all of the fabric in my scrap bins and stash, so that’s a win! I’ve used dark gray thread for the blanket stitches and embroidered details to provide a soft look.
Thanks SO much for stopping by today! What’s your favorite winter-time activity? Leave a comment please – we love to hear from you.
Happy quilting,
Sharon & Susan

Adorable block! I like staying inside when it’s cold while drinking a hot cup of coffee. In fact, it’s my daily routine right now after I get back from taking the children to the bus stop each morning. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely polar bear finishes. Yeti is a nice touch that one doesn’t usually think about. I can see Yeti and a polar bear being …kind of…friends. Thanks for the inspiration and smiles.

Thank you! It is probably unusual for either species to have friends from other species, but in the land of whimsy. . . anything goes!

I just love depictions on Yetis or Big Foots and the one you made is wonderful. Blue always makes me think of snow and ice.

I love the Yetti with the Polar Bear. We have a local Yetti (Somerville MA) that appears with the storms, as we had yesterday. Sorry to be late to the blog, but storm prep and work caused me to be a little late to my blog commenting.

Thank you! That’s pretty cool to have a Yeti lurking around your area. Hope that all is well for you; the storms looked pretty severe!
