Anne 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....

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". Snocker attachment= seam ripper???

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.

Thanks, Lorchen. I've spoken with my sister and I'll probably do a panto design at least where the trees are when I visit with her later this week since she has an HQ 16--it will be faster. I may then take it home and do the border on my Bernina. By the way, Lorchen, I think you're right... we might just have to sleep on it, unless I can divert Santa with cookies and single malt!

Single Malt???? I thought Santa was on milk???
