Santa Swap
Only seven more months till Santa swap. This year will be swapping quilted tote bags. Smaller size would be 21 x 21 and every bag must have something quilted on it whether it’s the pockets, the handles or something special on the front of the bag. The bag does not have to be Christmas themed nor does it need to have a zipper. Pinterest has many ideas for wonderful looking tote bags. Start your project now so you’ll be ready for the Santa swap at our Christmas party!
