Christmas Elves

24 December 2008 Filed Under: Celebrations

Elf Napkins The Christmas elves are busy here at Casa da Praia. Cooking, cleaning, pulling out the Christmas CDs and DVDs and generally getting into the festive spirit. Then this elf is going to take a short blogging holiday. I’ll be back on 1 January. In the meantime, peace and goodwill to all.

I invite you to SIGN UP to the SERENDIPITY STUDIO NEWSLETTER for information on my latest quilt designs, teaching schedule, upcoming exhibitions, images of my contemporary quilts and other quilting news:


PS: We’ve been making these paper napkin elf shoes for years in my family. Click the image below for a Elf Shoe Napkin Tutorial (200KB PDF).

It took umpteen takes to create a short video abou It took umpteen takes to create a short video about my artwork Integrifolia 7 Emergence. (Tip: if you are using a microphone, turn it on. Sigh)  Look out for a range of video and virtual offerings in connection with The New Quilt exhibition presented by QuiltNSW at the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery at Windsor from 5 February to 11 April 2021.
