This week’s Technique of the Week is inspired by my friend Kathy York!

Check out this week’s video for info on how I made this!

Skill Level:Intermediate
Time Commitment: Weekend +
Cost: Around $4 for a bag of polyfil

I constructed the tentacle “stuffie” out of two flat pieces sewn together and then stuffed.  I added the suckers, which are just yo-yos made in decreasing diameter.

You can see in the top photo that the background warps a little, which is why I would next time use a Peltex or Timtex center instead of batting on the background quilt.

You absolutely MUST go visit my friend Kathy’s quilts that were my inspiration.

Texture. Technology. Textiles. Teacher. I'm that quilter your mother warned you about. Not your average quilter. Not your grandmother's quilter. I put lights in my quilts! Who knew?
