Something you will find.....


.....in the current issue of 'Crazy Quilt Quarterly' magazine.  This is the Santa Claus (and tutorial to make your own) that I designed for the magazine and you can get your copy by clicking on the cover picture in the list at the side of my blog.  
























This quote from Carl Reiner pretty much sums up my feelings about winter...."A lot of people like snow.  I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water"

  2. Very nice Santa, I like his crazy coat.
    And thanks for the tips, everything from tutorials for fairy doors to Japanese style hobo bags.
    Hope your allergy thing clears up, I think I get something like that once in a while too.

  9. Santa is cool! Blue, what a welcome change. About the frogging -- that idea of sliding in a needle to frog back to is great. Like a lifeline.
