Winter is winter. The holidays just happen to fall into the season. Winter is snow, fun, and Christmas and all other fun days involved. I was thinking of snowmen playing in the snow and fall wintery scenes with embroidery and then put around frosty colored fabric. I think we should do all things of the "winter" season. I am happy with whatever I get. I like the swaps and love the blocks I have received. We all do fine work and that is what matters. It is like geting the grab bags at Buggy Barn, you get a general idea of what is inside and then you get the surprise to find what came with the bag.
