I belong to a quilting forum called Quilting Haven and have joined some swaps there.  Our latest pin cushion swap had a holiday theme.  I collect snowmen and thought that would be a great thing to design but there was a lot of chatter about snowmen so instead I designed a Christmas Mouse.  You know, like in.......not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!

I ended up making 8 of them for various friends.  I put sand in them instead of walnut shells to weight them. 

I love the holidays and I tend to go overboard with gift and decorating ideas.  Here is my latest tabletop idea.  It uses the Less Than Traditional method created by "Charlie" about 40 years ago.
