Here are a few more shots of the different blocks in Eve’s jaw-dropping Classic Santa Applique quilt. I’ve gotten some questions about where to find this pattern.
The designer is Sue Garman and these Santa’s were a part of a block of the month program. I’m not sure where you can find the pattern now but if you Google it, you may find it.
Eve added her own setting. The large sleigh block and the large reindeer block were something she also added on her own outside of the pattern.
I put snowflakes and ribbon text of “Joy” in the reindeer blocks.
Sorry about the blur in the photos; I was in a bit of a hurry because I had to get this quilt in the car for my trip to St. Louis.
The Santa block here has smoke coming out of the pipe and snowflakes in the background. I also added a drum and a package.
Do you see the gingerbread husband and wife? I like to imagine that is Eve and her DH. 🙂 The gingerbread girl even has heart buttons.
This Santa block has a blizzard background behind him. I wish I’d taken a close up of Eve’s raggedy-ann doll in Santa’s sack. It has fringe for hair. CUTE!
Eve is an applique master and it was an honor to work on her top!

I just came across Eve’s quilt here. I remember watching her work on it at RIM way back. Her work just amazed me. I was just learning applique and I was blown away. Never did and never will be as good as Eve. I’m so glad to see bits and pieces of it here. Someday I’d love to see it in person. Does she still have it or did she give it away?
She’s pretty amazing, eh, Bon? I’m not sure what she decided to do with this quilt but it was so wonderful to work on it with her. Have you seen this one of hers? It was a block swap if I remember correctly. https://quiltedjoy.com/2009/10/eves-purple-beauty-is-done.html
