Santa Sacks!

 

Two new Santa Sacks for Christmas 2025. 

One for Kade and one for Chloe, Nelson's girlfriend.

I made a sack with this fabric for a nephew a 

couple of years ago. Austin loved it and I asked 

him if he'd like me to get some more and put it away 

just in case they had a boy. Austin was our dinosaur boy 

and hopefully Kade will like them too

as Grannie just might be a bit of a theme 

happening for him this Christmas! 

Nelson chose this fabric for Chloe. 

Kade's first time meeting Santa. 

Apparently as soon as Kade looked in Santa’s direction 

he screamed and absolutely balled his eyes out. 

At least Ralph looks happy to visit with Santa!

Santa's Magic Key!

I've made this for Kade. 

There's no chimney at Austin and Paris' place. 

So how does Santa get in? 

With a magic key of course! 

 

Santa's Magic Key kit is

from Leanne of Petals and Patches. 

Sixteen Years!

Sixteen years ago today I did my first blog post, 

albeit just a few words. 

I never dreamt I would still be blogging 16 years later, 

although not as often as I used to. 

This is the very first photo I put up once 

I figured out how to do it.   

Mitchell, Austin and Nelson 

have now grown into fine young men.

Austin has become a father to Kade.

Mitchell and Nelson are his fun uncles. 

This is the first quilt I shared back in February 2010. 

"Starry Sensations", the 2009 BOM with the 

International Friendships Quilters (IFQ).

The last quilt I've made was for Austin and Paris' 

baby shower in November 2024. 

Kade and his quilt.

There's been many projects over the years and 

lots of swaps participated in. Over the last couple of 

days I've spent a bit of time looking at some of the very 

early posts which I haven't looked at in a long time. 

They were lovely memories.

I have made so many wonderful friends over the years. 

I've even been lucky enough to meet a lot in person, 

many of whom I consider my close friends.

Haha! I've just realised I've never

 updated my profile! Really must do something 

about it but that can be for another day.

A Dinosaur!

When Austin was a little boy, 

he just loved dinosaurs. 

So I thought I would make one 

for Kade for Christmas.

 

The pattern is Steg & Saurus by Melly and Me.

 

It was a bit fiddly doing the gusset but after a bit of 

perseverance I managed to get it together. 

It may be the only dinosaur I make! LOL!

 Kade cooling off!
