Alex's Holiday Lights Quilt

Gets Tizer in our house

[Rita C.]

Gets Guinness in ours! I'm guessing he is rightly sozzled by the end of the evening. Renata, I would watch out, Santa might spill something (or spew something :shock: ) on your quilt. If you like I could mind it for you. 8) :twisted:

...or I might just send it along with him for you.. you might have wished for coal in your stocking! :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :lol: It's probably what I'll end up with now... :roll: :mrgreen:

Well that may explain why Santa didn't bring what I wanted for Christmas sometimes...he's snockered by the time he leaves Europe! I guess the milk and cookies he got by the time he reached the west coast was to help him sober up. Should have been coffee and cookies, I guess.

'Snockered' what a great word for it! Can we divert into a discussion of different terms for a surfeit of drink? or would that be too OT. One of my favourite terms is 'tired and emotional'.

PS Santa usually got sherry or sometimes port in our house when I was little - without the mince pie.

[Rita C.]

I don't think it's really going off topic if it has anything to do with Christmas. :wink: I love 'snockered' too, never heard it before. Thanks for that Lorna. Can you use it for things other than being drunk? For example, you could say "I really snockered that seam", or, "you'd need the snocker attachment for that".

:lol: :lol: :lol: Snocker attachment= seam ripper??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Rita C.]

:lol: :lol: :lol: Love it! That sounds so much better than a seam ripper - 'Snocker Attachment' it is from now on! :lol: :lol: :lol:

New sign for my sewing room: "Fabric Snockering a Speciality!"

[Norma H.]

Crazy people around here :lol: . In Danish it would be snalret, but I don't think that word would relate well to the seam ripper :twisted: , so no new words in my sewing room :mrgreen: .

I want to do Alex's holiday lights but with a dark background and multi coloured trees, where can I find a picture please?

I think that Alex mentioned someone doing it in black with pink trees, maybe she has done a version that way and you will find it in the classroom.

In the meantime here is Renata's quilt with the colours inverted....

[Renata L.]

Rosemary, I really like the colors of the inverted one too. How did you do that?

[Renata L.]

I copied the picture, pasted it into Windows Paint, then under images I clicked on invert. Simples!
