North Pole Quilt

Here's a stroll through the busiest place on earth--The North Pole. My goodness this had to be the most fun I've ever had. It became a cleaning project as I searched the sewing room for beads, buttons and angelina fibers. The tags on the buildings were printed on fabric on the computer and I hope they show up on this post. There is a bit of tinsel stitched to the snow for some sparkle. I added glitter paint to some of the areas as well. All of the fabric, other than some of the dark blues, are from my stash.  It's almost like a free quilt.

Warning: picture overload.

The top block gave me problems. The reindeer did not show up against the busy background. What's a quilter to do? Paint them with fabric paint and I did.

Here's Slick's Sleds and the North Pole bakery

Here's the Reindeer Barn and Marble Makers shop below it.

The building on the left is Royal Toy Works.  The center building is Candy Cane Factory and next is Hats & Mittens.

In the picture below, the brown building with a sign that says Carl's Cars & Trucks, there's a truck on the upper part and black snaps were used for the wheels.  The red striped building is Delilah's Doll Shop and the red brick building is Wang's North Pole Carryout.

Mr. and Mrs. Claus live in the house on the left.  The blue building is the Elves' Recreation Center.

Here is Sprinkles Ice Cream Shoppe next door to the Elves' Bunkhouse. That's where my husband would choose to live.
