Quiltaddict, I love it. Thank you for sharing. It brought a smile to my face, memories to cherish from 1972 when we said "No!" to commerial Christmas gifts and starting making them every year to try and make a statement to our children. Christmas decor came out before Halloween that year. We started quilting together as a family that year. Last Christmas youngest daughter was home for the holidays, we made adult Christmas stockings in the sewing room. Still remember the laughter and the fun.
