Meet Uncle Santa!


This is a pattern by Country Threads called Uncle Santa. I made this quilt in the early 90s. The Friendship Stars on the top row are embellished with buttons from my Girl Scout uniform. The flag is not pieced, it's a real miniature flag. I machine pieced and hand quilted this piece. I also used a form of utility quilting on Santa's beard called Chicken Scratch. This stitch looks like a V with a small holding stitch at the point.
