I kind of remember him. Pointed little brownie hat and I think, pointed shoes? Try Highlights magazine. It could have been there. Not sure, but the brownie rings a few bells.

After reading all of the replies, I thought to myself, if I could not quilt ever, I would always enjoy the stories that our members come up with. Thanks.
