Here is a wonderful quilt that reflects teamwork and the spirit of Christmas. We were going through past pictures and found this quilt made by Linda Neal. She took the pattern Baltimore Christmas by Pearl Pereira and made some fun additions. The quilt was amazingly quilted by Jackie Brown. The border snowman design and the lace on the edges add to an already winning quilt pattern.

BUT Capt'n John had to laugh at the necklaces on the reindeer.
