    Default My Swedish Advent Calendar (Quilt/Embroidery Project)
    This is actually a couple of years old now (say 4?), but I smile every time I take it out.

    I got this set of Crazy Santas from Smart Needle and I just had to do a non-traditional advent calender of it.

    In Sweden we have a lot of different advent calendars. And one kind is where you wrap small gifts and hang one for each day... and those kinds are normally hand made, usually cross-stitched. Now, cross-stitching is not my thing so I decided to go a different route - and here is the result!
