Meet Murgatroyd the Moose!
Remember Murgatroyd? I love the sound that name makes. I couldn't have told you where I heard it, other than from my childhood... but it was stuck in my mind as this little one joined the Moosestash gang.

Is she just too cute?
Here's what Google had to say about it.
Meaning
An exclamation of surprise.
Origin
'Heavens to Murgatroyd' is American in origin and dates from the mid 20th century. The expression was popularized by the cartoon character Snagglepuss - a regular on the Yogi Bear Show in the 1960s, and is a variant of the earlier 'heavens to Betsy'.
Who Knew!

Here is what I do know thought...
She has a face that you just have to love.
Her roots come from the great
I stumbled on them thru Pinterest. Their roots are rubber stamps. The images were so darn cute, that I had to write and see if they would allow me to turn some on them into quilties. I was delighted when they said yes. While they are still copyrighted, I was able to make her for personal use, but I can't sell her or the pattern, which was all good with me. I don't know about you, but I am thinking that Whippersnapper would have a great future in quilt patterns!
Little Murgatroyd here was put together out of stash. I combed the scrap pile to find fabrics. Quilting the polka dot border was a fun way to finish her off. It leaves a delightful little texture.
I found that carrying over my threads made it much easier to go from dot to dot, but was there a LOT of trimming to do. Now there is a lot of vacuuming to do!

So there you have it, the newest member. I suggest you check out Whippersnapper yourself and see all the delightful things they have to offer.
Betsy huh... should my next moose be Betsy? You know I am open to suggestions!
