Default Can't get away from Santa's
Wow, Christmas is over, and I find myself still working on Santa's, well I'm a true Santaholic.Here's a picture of a couple I've done in the last week,the first one is a Gerald Sears R/O, with the painted quilt which is a Family Christmas Quilt, approx. 3 hrs painting the quilt.The second one is a closeup of the Christmas Quilt, and the third picture is a Gary Falin R/O, thanks for looking.

Beautiful job on both! and...ONLY 3hrs painting the quilt?..It looks like it would take 3 days. Probably the best painted quilt I've ever seen. I like the G.Sears Santa very much too.
