It measures 3-1/2 x 5-1/4. I put a pin mechanism on the back, so it could be worn as a large brooch or attached to a pillow or large bag -- or with a ribbon looped through the top of the mechanism, it could be used as an ornament. I've got mine displayed on a wicker basket using a ribbon through the pin back.

I wonder if my Santee would like one...

That would go perfect with my quilted hand on the wall Christmas Tree I made so the dogs can't get to it and knock it over. all my other ornaments are pinned on also. This gotta be mine . . .

If you don't have my name, you can send me one anyway.

Hint for the day. Your city's temperature is almost the same as mine today.

I have been gathering things together. Almost ready to mail. My santee doesn't post very often so I hope she likes everything. It is a bit of an eclectic collection of stuff!!!!

Hi Rennie...if you click on your SS user name you can bring up their profile. Sometimes there is helpful info on their profile.....but also on the profile screen you can click on their posts or started threads. This can usually give you ideas about what they like or are drawn to.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, Penni for the hints on research - will begin right away! Merry Christmas!!!! (grin)

CookyIN - yes! Anything homemade will be so well loved!

wowsa! You guys are all so fast. I've just started putting mine together, but I did order and receive a fabric I KNOW santee will like. And I have some things cut and ready to sew up. I keep a "little extras" box to send things out through the year, so I raided it and pulled together items she indicated she'd like based on her responses. I'm not worried about the "send by" date because my santee is not tooooooo far away - and that's the only hint you're gettin'!

CookyIN, your brooch is perfect. Yes, of course you can send it on if I happen to be your lucky partner.

Going out of state on business last week of Oct.... think I'll mail the Box from there. Do I put myself in the hole for teasing my santee?

Nessie, I can appreciate that. At the Quilting and Embroidery Expo this year I bought a Maxine potholder pattern, and made it. It is so funny (don't you just love Maxine quotes !?) . Instead of using it for a potholder, I have it hanging outside beside my front door! I laugh every time I come home!
