Christmas is almost here, and all we are doing now is 'waiting for Santa'... (we wish !) In any case, we've been waiting until this morning to show Lynette Anderson's delightful quilt by the same name.
Waiting for Santa, 56 x 66 , by Lynette Anderson, at Lynette Anderson Designs
This quilt is filled with everything we associate with Christmas, including angels, reindeer, trees, and Santa himself. We love the foundation-pieced stars, and the strings of heart-shaped lights, which are carried aloft by doves. Did you notice the little face in the window of the house? That's one of Lynette's sons peering out 'waiting for Santa' to come and visit him! The pattern for this cheerful quilt can be obtained on the Waiting for Santa page. Also don't miss Lynette's bestselling Scandinavian Christmas, which was inspired by the houses, buildings and traditions of Scandinavia.
