Thanks for the chance to win! SANTA is adorable
ReplyDeleteWhen i was a little girl, I do believe the presents under the Christmas tree are from Santa... :)
ReplyDeleteSanta's got competition here with the 'belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly'!! I'd not only be giggling, but doing the happy dance if I won these.
ReplyDeleteOh. My!! I have been waiting *months* for Sheri McCulley's Alpine Wonderland. Also, Santa, just so you know, I've been an awful good girl. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance! (fingers and toes cross)

When we lived overseas and couldn't make it home for Christmas, I just reminded my girls that -- with the 12 hour time difference -- Santa visited us FIRST!
ReplyDeleteSanta seems to get meaner as I get older, whereas I use to get sacks of presents I only get a few now... sigh.... it's not good getting older AND I still believe in him!! LOL. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell Santa that I am being a verygood girl this year? And that I really deserve a lot of nice fabric!
ReplyDeleteSanta makes little ones and big ones hearts filled with joy and laughter...wonderful give a way....
ReplyDeleteI love the elf's of santa. They are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love Santa...and I still believe in him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very generous giveaway. I love Santa and always welcome him into my home in December...and sometimes before that!
ReplyDeleteSanta - my favorite man right behind Mickey Mouse :)
ReplyDeleteMy mother is Dutch, so we grew up with Sinterklaas. This was much better according to my brother and me because we got our presents delivered on 5 December. My girls have also been signed up for Sinterklaas ro come and deliver. The poor man has to make a special trip to the UK for them but he doesn't mind because they always sing songs for him and leave a carrot in their shoes for his horse.
ReplyDeleteSanta is the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Love the presents Santa brings me every year! Thanks for the giveaway and greetings from germany, Hildy

Well I just love old St. Nick. But I tell ya, when I was little, there were some questionable Santas at the mall that I had pictures taken with. One time he looked drunk with huge red undereye bags. That was not a great picture to stick in the old photo album.
ReplyDeleteOne Christmas I was playing Santa late at night while my two little girls were sleeping. While putting gifts under the tree I moved the wrong way and my back went out! I had to spend the night sleeping under the tree!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some super cute fabrics!
Thanks for the give away. Looking forward to making a quilt for Santa to give away.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who carves Santa figures out of cypress knees. I have painted a picture of a Santa for a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteI wish Santa would come early and leave Alpine Wonderland under my lilac tree! Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I love Santa!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Santa .... this summer I'd like to go to Maldive!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway
Years ago I made a Santa suit. This past Halloween a friend's son wore it to his part-time job at a local grocery store on a day when employees were to dress in costume. His name is Nick, so when he put his name badge on the suit it was perfect.
ReplyDeleteI believe!
ReplyDeleteI love to play Santa. :0)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the give a way.
Santa is my best friend.
ReplyDeleteI still believe in Santa ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Santa and the fabrics are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSanta is the best:) We still believe!
ReplyDeleteSANTA is my FAVORITE guy! He always knows how to make people happy!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, my dad usually had to work Christmas Day. I was always amazed that Santa knew we went to church Christmas Eve because our presents would be under the tree when we came home.
ReplyDeleteI believe in Santa and his lovely reindeer and elves! thanks for the generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteoooo these fabrics are so cute. You are a pretty amazing Santa :-)
ReplyDeleteSanta loves everyone and makes the world a better place.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing his reindeer on our roof one year.
ReplyDeleteI love Santa! He rocks! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love the names of these fabric, I was afraid of santa, could never sit on his lap.
ReplyDeleteAt our house if you don't believe in Santa you don't get anything for Christmas no matter how old you get! I love these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway I love them both
ReplyDeleteI wish Santa would bring me some charms squares!
ReplyDeleteMãe,acho que aquele papai noel não era de verdade...Porquê?...Eu vi uma fita adesiva no bigode dele...Minha filha quando tinha 4 de idade no dia 26 de dezembro kkkk.Meu irmão se vestiu de noel e entregou os presentes,não sei o que aconteceu com o bigode,foi improvisado com algodão e fite adesiva mesmo.Obrigada por deixar participar e lembrar 30 anos depois desta coisa lúdica.Beijos.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories is seeing Santa enter our neighbor's house at midnight! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable collections. Santa is always welcome at our house and we look forward to his visit every year (no matter how old we are getting to be!)
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding like Scrooge, I'll admit I've never really loved Santa. I do like these fabrics though!
ReplyDeletehe's the best!! we love him - you r never too old to believe :)
ReplyDeleteSanta? I know him! Love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHe knows if you've been naughty or nice...
ReplyDeleteIt's May but we're still listening to the song Santa Claus is comin' to town on our way to preschool. : )
ReplyDeleteWe live in Florida with a fireplace, but no chimney.......no one ever asked how that worked. I guess you just don't question a good thing!
ReplyDeleteSanta is the big jolly fellow that comes at Christmas! Be sure to leave a plate of cookies!
ReplyDeleteSanta always finds the best fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Saint Nick and the spirit of giving to others.
ReplyDeleteThe Santa Claus Movie was one of my favorites.

I think it's fun to be in a secret Santa swap. Last year at my work a group of us put stockings in a central location and we all put secret Santa stuff inside, it was fun.
ReplyDeleteAaah Santa. You're never too old for pictures with him.
ReplyDeleteAh, Santa, going to bed on Christmas Eve, hardly sleeping, ready to wake up to see what Santa has left.
ReplyDeleteI love taking pictures of my boys with Santa each and now continue the tradition with my grand-daughters, so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the excitement Santa brings. One of my favorite times of year. Thanks for the giveaway, the fabric is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing pictures of my friends or their kids with Santa, especially if there is more than one kid - one is always crying or looking the other way, while one looks like they are going to burst with excitement.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable fabric lines!
This Christmas Santa will visit my granddaughter for the first time!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Last year my three year old was convinced the Cookie Monster brought her "big" present--one of those plastic cottages for the yard. Santa brought the others.
ReplyDeleteI honestly believe in Santa
ReplyDeleteI just love Santa...I have a collection of Santa's....thanks for the giveaway...
ReplyDeleteWhat great fabrics! I would love for Santa to bring them to me!
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are crossed that Santa will be coming to my house early with some of this really fun fabric.
ReplyDeleteAs others have said I hope Santa comes early with fabric :) Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child, I was crying when I saw Sanda, because of his glasses :))
ReplyDeleteOur Santa brings homemade gifts made by Mrs. Claus for all the grandchildren and children. Maybe this year he will bring an early gift for me!
ReplyDeleteMy best memories of Santa are visiting his house - a small 5 x 5 foot gingerbread-type house that was parked downtown - and telling him what we wanted for Christmas and he'd give us a candy cane. Thanks for the give away - the biggest part of my stash is Christmas fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love Santa, I have a Santa collection with figurines all kind, I think he's cute <3
ReplyDeleteOur Ben was 2 1/2 the first time we tried to take his picture with Santa. We have some lovely photos of him screaming in Santa's lap ;>) That Christmas Eve the kids set out cookies and milk for Santa. When Ben got up Christmas morning he was VERY UPSET, to the point of tears, to discover that Santa had actually EATEN those cookies! Ben was in the habit at that time of telling anyone who displeased him "No presents for you. You're on the naughty list." Santa promptly went on the naughty list! Thanks for chance to win these cute fabrics! (EMAIL: marshudson at comcast dot net)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Santa picture is of my younger daughter at 6 months old happily sitting on Santa's lap laughing at her older sister who was screaming and crying off-camera. Now, they don't care so much for pictures with him, but leave out cookies and milk each year.
ReplyDeleteWell I love Christmas but I can wait as I am looking forward to warm weather . Linda gerig
ReplyDeleteSanta is someone who loves you but you don't know who. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteLove my crying kids and santa pictures...ahhh the memories.
ReplyDeleteIf Santa gets sleepy at my house he'll need a quilt made form one of these lovely fabric lines
ReplyDeleteOoh! So cute! I especially like the Alpine Wonderland.
ReplyDeleteI really want my (almost 2 year old) daughter to like Santa and not be afraid of him. So I've been showing her pictures of him and talking about how great he is. She calls him "Shanta"! Thanks for the great giveaway.
Ho Ho Ho! I love Santa! Especially the big ceramic Santa that my mother made for me many years ago. He always peeks out from behind our tree in the living room. His black boots and fat green glove covered hands are my favorite parts of him! Santa also brings lovely things like those wonderful pre-cuts you are giving away!
ReplyDeleteMGM
Santa is my favourite Christmas character and I have a large collection. It's great because, instead of buying me things I might not use, my family buys me a new Santa every year.
ReplyDeleteHo ho Ho... Santa is my old friend... we've known each other for a looooong looooong time!
ReplyDeleteWhat would Christmas be without Santa!
ReplyDeleteI think Santa already is getting ideas for the little girls in my house :)
ReplyDeleteSanta is one cool dude. Look at the great fabrics dreamed up in honour of him! Thanks for a chance at the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSanta still comes to my house every year. As long as you believe, he will come!
ReplyDeleteAt 50+, I will confess I love everything about Santa and he always makes me smile. But, the best part is to see a small child fall in love with Santa and enjoy this fun tradition.

I have to admit, it was a lot of fun to scroll through all the prior comments and read folks thoughts on Santa! He's a jolly old soul and the epitome of the spirit of Christmas. :)
ReplyDeleteSanta has been a dear family friend for years. With my kids and now with the grandkids, we have enjoyed his visits each year. We will think of him during the heat of the summer. thanks, kathy ss
ReplyDeleteI loved playing Santa last year, leaving a small present every day during December under the tree for my 2 years old daughter. The happiness on her face while opening the little bag to find out what Santa has left for her was priceless.
ReplyDeleteI do want her to believe in Santa for as long as possible, Christmas is a magic time that I love to live year after year. Hopefully she will too.
It makes me nervous every year when everyone starts counting down the days til Santa arrives... I'm never ready.
ReplyDeleteAs a child i use to have dreams of me visiting Santa in his workshop at the North Pole. We would have hot cocoa and talk about the reindeer.
ReplyDeleteIf Santa would like to drop by early with these new charm packs, I'll have time to make some mug rugs to leave his milk and cookies on this Christmas ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove love love these prints!!! I have a story about Santa. Each year our church would have a dance/party on Chirstmas Eve and at the end Santa would make an appearance. When I was a young teenager, my friends and I decided to go out to my (parents') car and sit for awhile. When we got outside the car was idling (odd!) and upon opening the doors, we found "Santa" inside staying warm while waiting for his debut! It was pretty funny. Thanks for the chance to win these adorable fabrics. This is the best time to start some Christmas projects.
ReplyDeleteSanta rocks. I wish he would come and visit more often.
ReplyDeleteDear Santa....I hope I have been a good girl this year....:0))
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE LOVES SANTA!
ReplyDeleteSWEET GIVEAWAY!
THANK YOU!
msstitcher1214@yahoo.com
I'm going to be sad when my girls don't believe in Santa anymore! :( But thank you for the giveaway! Mjalfano19@gmail.com
ReplyDeletelovely fabric I think I may have to ask Santa for some this year!
ReplyDeleteWonderful fabrics! I wonder if Mrs Claus is making Santa some cheery boxers? :-))
ReplyDeleteErm.. I don't believe in Santa. But they are cute.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love the kitchy 50s feel of Alpine Wonderland. Santa never played a big role in my life. I believed and all, but I kinda figured my parents were doin' the footwork. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! One of the many wonderful things about grandkids is experiencing the excitement of Santa all over again.
ReplyDeleteMiracle on 34th Street: (after 3 double martinis)... "Why YEEESSS!!! Santie Claus can come stay with us!!!"
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love both of these lines!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win these!
Sadly my children don't believe in Santa anymore!! Guess I'll have to wait for grandchildren!!
ReplyDeleteI used to play the piano all December long with Santa songs...
ReplyDeleteI love Santa Claus, and am having a great time reliving the magic with my granddaughter, who is almost two. She used to call him Ho-ho, but now he's San Caus.
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric and the giveawy! thanks for a chance. Who doesn't like Santa?? I really like playing santa in my seret pal swaps all year! Giving like santa is a year long thing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice giveaway! I love Santa, always have, and have many happy memories of Santa both as a child and as a parent. Mrs. Santa even got into the action one year, as handmade flannel comforters were tucked around my sleeping children for them to discover when they woke up Christmas morning. :)
ReplyDeleteSanta, so important for small children? One of my favorite holidays and never have enough runners etc so hope I win so I can make more! Love the material....
ReplyDeleteI saw mummy kissing Santa.
ReplyDeleteUnder the Christmas Tree...
santa's generosity is only comparable to the bloggers i follow! thank you for sharing, caring and giving.
ReplyDeleteWhen I walk my dog at the lake in the mornings there is a man who looks like Santa. I'm worried that he's checking up on me year round to make sure I'm behaving.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest is three now, and I think in three years we've never had an easy time taking the kids to Santa! :}
ReplyDeleteSanta - I think my dad dressed up as my small town's Santa one year. I don't remember ever believing in Santa. Every year I would ask Mom if Santa was real, and her standard answer was, "Santa Claus is the spirit of Christmas in all of us."
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about Santa? He is always jolly and kind. He gives you presents that you really really want. You can sit in his lap and feel all comfy because he's fluffy and warm. You can touch his beard and know that he is real. Santa loves children. Santa is good.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to do at Christmastime is to sit down with my little girls and write letters to Santa .
ReplyDeleteSanta is a BIG guy in a bright red suit that brings me presents. Okay maybe not. But I sure do have a large collection of Santas. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteOhhh her collection is just sewwww fine...there are few Christmas collections out there anymore...this is fresh, clean, and a must have...
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about Santa...mmmm still at my age, I still BELIEVE. IN fact I still write letters to him...I always get what I want too....because I believe lol....
Me too! I still Believe.
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win!! i can't wait until i have little ones so we can bring the spirit of santa back into our boring adult house, lol!
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not a child anymore I still Believe in Santa and love to see all the children happiness writing Santa Xmas letters and waiting for his gifts.
ReplyDeleteI picture Santa in my mind as he is described in the poem A Visit From St. Nickolas.
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun when I was a kid and believed in Santa.
ReplyDeleteSanta will not be here for a while, maybe if I win I will have lots of time before Christmas to make something!!
ReplyDeleteWhen was a kid, Santa would come during the night and leave the presents under the tree (unwrapped). We all knew whose present each would be somehow. We had one or two presents each. Guess we went to sleep early and hard as my parents were Santa and left the presents under the tree when they went to bed (by 9pm). Always, the milk and cookies we left were eaten. Sweet memories that can be wrapped in those charms...
ReplyDeletei love santa and all things christmas
ReplyDeleteSanta is an awesome guy!
ReplyDeleteI live in the land of Santa, and today is the national day in Norway, so it@s time for me to win. Don@t you think so? tubakk@online.no
ReplyDeleteI love watching my daughter sit on santas lap & talk so seriously and in depth with a man who is a complete stranger but yet to her he is the wonder of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSanta always brought me new pyjamas every Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteSanta does not come to our house anymore since our kids are grown. Can't wait for grandkids to come up for Christmas this year. Santa will definitely make an appearance for that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSanta can come at anytime of the year, not just Xmas
Thanks so much for the chance to win. Both fabrics are so cute! I wish I still was little and believed in Santa!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas. I am Santa for all my family every year and make them gifts most every year!
ReplyDeleteAh, Santa......I do believe! Thanks for wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSanta is a jolly old fellow.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were little kids, my grandma would stay with us at Christmas time. We would all go to bed early and grandma would come running up the stairs saying she just saw Santa leave and we should come downstairs and look for ourselves. This went on for many years because there were 15 years between the oldest and youngest children in my family. We loved playing the game as we got older and the youngest ones didn't know about Santa yet. paweis at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI keep a wooden Santa placque that reads "This house believes in Santa" up on the wall in our den year round. Love the beautiful fabrics - thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThrough the years, Santa's been 'berry, berry good to me'. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Early Christmas, and thanks for the giveaway. Fun fabrics for the funnest time of year.
It's just a big fat lie. j.k. Thanks Corrie. Both are cute lines.
ReplyDeleteThe best memory of Santa was the year we had sleigh tracks on the front lawn (because we didn't,t have a chimney, we had to leave the front door open for him).
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago I handstitched a Santa wall hanging and his beard is the most amazing feature because I stitched French Knots tightly together with Pearl Cotton! Everyone compliments me when it is on display for the season!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance, these are both great lines!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! I'm so glad it was BOTH charm packs. I was looking at them both wondering how I would choose between the two if I won. :) I know some parents feel like telling their kids there is a Santa is like lying to them, but I remember the belief in magical things I had as a kid and how fun it was. I don't want to deny my children that. They handle it quite well when they figure out it's us. They're even more grateful when they look back on what "Santa" gave them.
ReplyDeleteSantas are so much fun. I love it when there are all different sizes of santas. I love the look of those cute santas.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child, we never left out cookies (or anything else) for Santa :(
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, Santa always left a stocking filled with fruit, candy and small toys. I still remember my stocking was white with a tree and a gold star. Thanks for bringing back that memory of good times.
ReplyDeleteThere's a story my mom tells about "one of you kids" (she never remembers the "who" in a story - failing memory). Anyway, we apparently called Santa "Noah" when we were growing up because in all of our bible storybooks Noah had a long white beard. I guess he would have - he was over 100, right? So that's my story. No Santa, only Noah. Good thing it never rains at Christmas in Ohio :)
ReplyDeleteAll of the fabric lines are wonderful...it makes you want to get started early on holiday items...thanks for the uplifting post...I love it!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Santa is real!
ReplyDeleteI would love some Santa fabric...I wonder if he's busy making toys this time of year?! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI got in big trouble when I was a kid for hiding under the couch to prove Santa wasn't real. Problem was it was the 70's when furniture didn't have a skirt around the bottom, so they could clearly see me lol. Hadn't fully thought that through...
ReplyDeleteThe Santa Spirit lives in the Hearts of all who believe in him.....he creates Magic, Wishes & Dreams! "Make-believe" is FUN!
ReplyDeleteThanks for chance to win! :)
