I have quite a few Santa's that I cross stitched and was
thinking of using them for a quilt. The LQS told me the fabric would not work. Has anyone ever tried it?

Beautiful! I love counted cross stitch and I used to do it a lot when my son was a little guy. I would bring a project along when we would be out and about and he would play. Now I do thread crochet and of coure quilts and crafts.

Before I found quilting, I made afghans using the swedish weaving method. I made one for each grown female in my family and my Mom got two. I'm now working on a second one for one daughter-in-law. She mentions the first one fondly so I will enjoy surprising her with this one in her favorite color of purple. Later I will make a second one for my other daughtrer-in-law.
