Christmas Bear Quilt

 I have another finish for 2020.  
I was talking with a couple of my friends and we have been tossing around making quilts "together" from our respective homes.  

One of them suggested the Christmas bear quilt. 

 It was a kit from Moda.  

We all had it so I decided to work on it. 

 I got the top made while I was in Franklin, NC earlier this fall and shipped it home with a back and some batting to my LAQ. 

She quilted snowflakes all over it and I added the tassel to his hat. 

 LOVE IT!  

I could not decide who to gift this one to though. 

 I had an idea but hubby nixed it, so I figured out another plan that I think is a better one anyway. 

 We have the sweetest neighbors. 

 When we travel they take in our mail and watch our house and even mow the lawn.  

They have a 6 year old daughter that just LOVES us. 

 She asks her mom all the time when we are coming home. 

 So I gifted the quilt to Zoe and her family. 

Now she can have a big bear hug from us when we are away!

First time making a tassle.

I used one of my pre-printed labels and sewed it on with white thread. 

 I think I am going to have to order more labels for 2021.  

You can see in this photo that I used the same stitch to sew down the binding. 

 I like how this turned out and it certainly made sewing the binding on go MUCH more quickly.

I also finished a fleece dog bed/pillow. 

 Its filled up with nothing but unusable scraps and left over batting!

I usually hand these off to my son for his dog. 

Finn has 2 already but he really wanted to keep this one.

Too bad for him, my son has claimed it already!

I brought 3 projects with me to work on while I am here in NC for January.  
One is already cut out but I need to cut the other 2 out. 

More on those later.

What are your last finishes for 2020?
