The night before…
'Twas the night before Christmas,
And the quilts were not made.
The threads were all tangled, the cookies delayed.
The stocking weren't hung, the pantry was bare.
The poor weary Quilter, was tearing her hair.
Stacks of fat quarters, tipped over in streams.
Visions of Log Cabins, had turned into dreams.
When what to her wondering eyes should appear,
But a bus full of quilters with all of their gear.
They went straight to work with just a few mutters,
Sorting and stitching and brandishing cutters.
The patterns emerged from all of the clutter,
Like magic the fabrics arranged in a flutter.
Log Cabins, Lone Stars, Flying Geese & Bear Tracks
Each quilt was a beauty-even the backs.
Her house how it twinkled, her quilts how they glowed.
The cookies were baking, the stockings were sewed.
Their work was all done, so they folded their frames,
And packed up their needles, without giving their names.
They boarded the bus, and checked the next address.
More quilts to be made, another quilter in distress.
She heard one voice echo, as they drove out of sight,
Happy quilting to all and to all a good night!

Since there was really no time given for opening, I think if you want to open whenever, go ahead and do so.
Just remember to thank your person and to post pictures if possible.

Thank you Marion xxx
Hi Everyone,
Well, my Secret Santa was M-fay. Now I know Marion very well and would have know her name and address as soon as my box arrived.... but she tricked me and sent it using her sisters name and address.... so I was totally oblivious to who my Santa was.
I have posted pictures below of the lovely package that Marion sent to me! There are lots of goodies but my favourite things and the Santa hanging, the Sashiko table topper and the beautiful and funny hand made card that Marions daughter made for me. Ooooohh there was also a beautifully knitted and weighted snowman that must be mentioned.
Marion, thank you for my super package and for being my Secret Santa.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hugs
Caroline
