A snowy close up of my HoHoHo Santa playing nicely with others in the very first christmas quilt I made back in 1981. Posted by Picasa

Finn it is so much fun to see that little santa pop up each day! I never know when I'll see him!

Good heavens Finn...your hand quilting is awesome...very effective in this quilt! And you're still doing it to this day, even after all of those seam allowances that you had to cross over with this quilt!!!

I love your Santa fab! Way toooo cute!!! And quirky!!! I love it! Now see...if I *would* have been shopping and seen this fab in our local BF way back then, I would have bought it...and it would have been my post for my fave Christmas fabric right now too, Finn!!! ;-)

PS. You're not going to believe this...my word verification's first three letters are: OWW!

So fun to see your santa fabric in this quilt from many years ago!!! I love to read first about the fabric and now to see it in the "old" quilt. :c)

What beautiful hand quilting....your stitchs are so tiny and perfect. How's your reading coming along? Mine is not...by the time I blog and practise and do the house 'things' and shop...well, January is on the way, thats all I can say. I think a 'read-a-thon' will be in order. I must finish my Christmas story though.

I love the "old" but not 30's or repro. look of that quilt.
