Santa's "rug"

Cheri mentioned yesterday that she liked Santa's rug (from picture in yesterday's post). I looked back in my picture archive and I don't think I showed this one before. It was my sample for a class several years ago teaching crazy piecing with the fancy stitches on the sewing machine. I provided kits with pre-cut chunks of fabric that the class worked with. Each of the 4 quarters is different (no paper piecing).

    What a darling Santa cookie jar. His colorful rug is great, too. It is a good opportunity to use some of those fancy stitches we have on our machines. I seldom use them anymore.

    I think I can now make a crazy quilt using my sewing machine special stitches. Thanks for sharing.

    Love all the Christmas fabrics so rich in color... Really a fun piece, plus the different machine stitches gives it even more interest.
