A Christmas Tree

It's day three of our "simple, stylish holiday quilts" series.  This predominantly white quilt is a simple celebration of snow and holiday cheer. We like its uncomplicated design:  just a bear, and a tree.

Paris Bottman is an artist who has been entertaining us with her whimsical characters for over 25 years.  Several of her works of art have been translated into quilt patterns by the talented group at Bigfork Bay Cotton Company.  As with many of Paris Bottman's designs, this polar bear captivates us with his human-like gaze.
