Sarah Steele sent me this photo of the tree skirt she made using houses from Welcome to the North Pole. So cute! I like it on white… just like snow :-).

Wednesday Giveaway
Nancy W. is this week’s winner. She will receive a Piece O’ Cake Needle Nanny. You can place wear it on your blouse like a pin or place it nearby. Align the round magnet directly behind your Needle Nanny and it will pop into place. The 2 super strong rare earth magnets are strong enough to hold a small pair of scissors as well as needles and pins.

Mary H. has won this week’s giveaway—a package of Thimble-It finger protectors. They are thick enough to protect sore spots on your fingers without being as thick as a thimble. Congrats to Mary!

Wednesday Giveaway
Maureen Griffith is this week’s lucky winner! She will receive a Tri-Tip Eraser which is a very fancy way of saying that it is in the shape of a triangle :-). I do not use erasers on fabric very often/ever but, if I ever do, this is the eraser I will choose. It is both hard and gentle, which seems odd but is true. The eraser ‘dust’ is fine as opposed to being long and rubbery which probably has something to do with the way it works against fabric.

Come hand quilt with me…
In Daytona, in February! AQS has added a hand quilting class to my roster and I would love to see you there.
If you’ve never hand quilted, this is an excellent class in which to learn the hand quilting stitch that is tricky until you know how it works. Once you can do it, hand quilting becomes a very relaxing way to pass time.
Click here for more information on the class.

North Pole show and tell…
Diane Pfeifley wrote to say: “After I made Whoville for my niece, I decided that I wanted a Santa village for myself. It’s all needle turn appliqué, hand quilted, and embellished to death. I searched and collected fun, little things for several years. Then I decided to try beading. I hadn’t done any beading before. Well, if a little beading is good… a lot of beading is better! I’ve had so much fun using your North Pole patterns. Thanks for a wonderfully fun bunch of patterns.”
Is this not the cutest quilt ever?! I love the way she mixed and matched the houses from Welcome to the North Pole over the face of this quilt. I wanted to see details and Diane kindly took and shared more photos…
Daine also said: “I also forgot to mention that I used trapunto for the snow banks. First try at that too. If you can’t experiment on yourself where can you experiment?” So very true.
Every part of this makes me grin! Thank you, Diane, for sharing your fantastic quilt!
