St. Nicholas Day gift
In Poland we have a nice custom for the St. Nicholas Day (or Santa Claus Day), which is 6th December. This is the day to present small, no-fuss gifts - the big ones are for Christmas. They are supposed to be surprise - traditionally those gifts are put in your shoes while you sleep like all good children should :)
This year it was last Friday. I was stuck at home with a cold when I realized that I had nothing for my fiancee. No way to run for quick shopping :/ So I quickly made a lunch mat with the last bits of the hedgehog fabric I used for his quilt some time ago (remember this Hedgehog Quilt?). He found it like this when he got home from work (so Santa was a bit late in this case): https://www.quiltingboard.com/member...804-620698.jpg And this is the lunch mat, front and back: https://www.quiltingboard.com/member...804-620696.jpg https://www.quiltingboard.com/member...804-620697.jpg |

Love the tradition. It sounds like fun. You did a bang up job at the last minute. I could never do that with a fuzzy head. I remember the quilt. Good job on both. Thanks for posting.
