Cute "Santa" Gifts and Sugar Cookies for Santa

12/17/2017

Wow I have not been writing on this blog since November! The 9 long arm quilts to be done before Christmas are down to 2! (Even 2 quilts are daunting right now but I will get er' done!!)  
So as you can imagine, along with the obligations of work, family and housekeeping and issues with my recent ankle surgery, I have simply not had the time to share some of my recent work.  
However, I wanted to share with you some wee projects, 10 to be exact.
Pictures are shown below, they are Santa Pot Holders, the pattern was  found here at Quilting Digest.  I also added a recipe card for sugar cookies for santa and will share the recipe in this post.

 As you can see they are simple blocks, I started by laying down the face right side up on the sandwiched backing and Insul-Bright and flipped and sewed the rest of the fabrics. The beard was then quilted (free motion swirls), a binding and loop was added along with a yoyo for the hat and buttons for the eyes, nose and on top of the yoyo.  Easy Peasy!
​ I have a ladies group I belong to and I wanted to give them all a small token gift to celebrate the Christmas season and spread some joy. These cute pot holders are lined with Insul- Bright a heat resistant batting for crafters and wonderful for lining pot holders, oven mitts, candle mats etc. See the image below, it's a relatively affordable staple item in my stash of supplies on an ongoing basis for items that need a batting that will handle the heat.

I think 4 of them together would make a nice centre piece or candle mat?  Maybe next time!

ALL 10 SANTA'S TOGETHER
Check out my sugar cookie recipe below, I printed it on card stock and a free printable recipe card on Pinterest .  
​This recipe is fool proof.  So if you don't want to make Santa's, please enjoy my recipe.
​ I then attached the recipe card to the loop of all the pot holders with curling ribbon, totally optional, but added a nice little touch to this little santa pot holder.  This would  make a great take away gift for a party or table placement gift and you could just add names to it.

That's it for now, I must get back to my pre-Christmas long arm quilting.
Enjoy the season and I hope you are all ready  for Christmas.  
Have a lovely week! ?
