I'm sure at one time or another you've been part of a Secret Santa gift exchange. This year I was a recipient of a secret Santa gift from the Temecula Quilt Co quilt shop. I have never been to the shop in Temecula, California, or never have met the shop owner, Sheryl Johnson, but she shared a wonderful secret Santa mystery quilt design with anyone who read her blog. What an awesome gift! Each week we received another clue. A little more cutting and some more sewing. Nine patches... 4 patches... Greens... and plenty of Reds and Neutrals. Lots of oldies, but goodies, for sure. After 5-6 weeks this sweet Christmas variation of the classic Burgoyne Surrounded quilt was sewn together. "Secret Santa" 42" x 54" I machine quilted using a 28wt. Aurifil thread. I love the texture it created. Snowflakes, and snow blowing swirls. Of course, there were lots of things I should have been working on, but it was exciting to get a mystery Secret Santa gift each week. This pattern has been on my perpetual list for 20+ years. Sheryl divided up the construction in easy and doable segments. I think 2019 will find me FINALLY making this pattern 1991 in the indigo and white fabrics I had planned so long ago. Thanks, Sheryl for sharing your mystery with all of us. It was a fabulous seasonal project. Wishing you all a Happy Holiday season and Merry Christmas. We'll catch up after the New Year. Until Then- Kyle

As a couple sometimes it's easy to fall into sedentary bliss, which can mean that the idea of going out, especially when you have to dress up, may seem particularly taxing. On the other hand, if you like the whole coordination thing, being a couple literally gives you someone to coordinate with. Now, you don't have to take the matchy-matchy thing to your everyday life, but it is the absolute best for your Halloween costume ideas. That is if you're not too lazy leaving your cozy home and actually go out and show your couple costumes to the world. Or constructing the DIY Halloween costumes in the first place.
