Santa!

 I always like to decorate the china hutch I inherited from Grandmama. Usually I use the Christmas tree stoneware and bits of china and a few bits and bobs.  But this year I was inspired by Tea With Friends to display all of my Santa face mugs.

I added a few St. Lucia dolls and my Berggren God Jul sugar bowl and creamer.  And as many bottle brush trees that I could round up! This was really fun to play with and I may do it again next year.  

ran out of fabric!

I was working on the seashell quilt for my mom and ran out of fabric.  So I picked up my pilgrims-would like to finish that this year.  And I ran out of fabric.  So I made this primitive Santa instead.  It's a Jan Patek pattern that I have been wanting to do for years.  It needs a bit more quilting and then binding.  I think I'm going to wash this one and get it all crinkly and vintage looking.
