One day I was at the Coaldale Quilt store, now called Chicken Feed Quilts, and saw a kit for a Grinch quilt! Awesome, Brad would love that since he loves the Grinch and Christmas. The project was definitely on!
The first one was for Brad so I made it in Texas while visiting Natalie. However, Natalie wanted it so I left it for her and made another one for Brad at home in 2011.
Then Victoria and I each wanted one so I made two more in 2019. When my friends, Nese Capron and Beth Barrus came to visit at the end of September 2019 we had a heavy snow and got snowed in. They helped me piece together two tops while we waited for the weather to clear so we could explore Banff. It was fun to do with them. Beth and I cut and put the pieces in order and Nese sewed the first top. I finished the second one after they went home.
I finally finished Victoria's on Nov 6, 2020. And I saved the one that my friends had sewn for me. It was finished a few days later.
When Scott saw them he wanted one. This time I had to order more fabric. He wanted it large enough to wrap him and the two girls in. Just add an extra border and voila!
