Pinhead Santa

I did this one in the 80s when I was doing a lot of traveling by myself. Mostly hand pieced...just took a bunch of the teeny pieces wherever I went to work on. Was good to learn on but my hand piecing days are over for sure. I was thinking I would end up w/15 or 20 squares but settled for 12.

Basket for Chritmas

This was a fun pattern to do..9 patch. Basket handles were done by hand before assembly. I originally had big ideas of making about 12 Xmas quilts substituting the baskets for Daisy Kingdom Santa blocks and all 9 patches w/different fabric. By the time I got this one and 1 of the DK ones done, 2 of the people had died so I have set my sights a little lower.
Have been using some of the fabric for covered
boxes ...very fun to make and I actually put presents in them and give them away during the holidays.

Naughty & Nice

These are the Daisy Kingdom Naughty & Nice Santas. Naughty offers switches and, of course, the Nice has merriment in his bag. Also a cheater but I did quite a bit of hand work on them and they turned out very nice.

Dick & Jane

This is a cheater Dick & Jane quilt I made for dh Richard.
Really not quite as simple as you would think but turned out very nice.

Tree w/Bears

Trees & Bears
I love this tree pattern and plan to make some single trees for Xmas wall hangings. Bears are from 1885 paint company stencil. Large quilt..top almost finished.

Flannel Sleigh

Still another cheater quilt but I have a huge Christmas collection and I love the graphics. Nice and soft..just right to curl up with "A Christmas Carol".
