I certainly hope so Miss Clinton! Love Chris

Hi Shirley, he is isn't he? Me too!!! Love Chris

Thanks so much, I'm looking forward to it being finished as well. I'm not picking the grapes thankfully, all the kids do that. Deirdre (the owner's wife) and I get all the breakfast, snacks and lunch prepared! Love Chris

Hi Barb, yes, it's harvest time up in the Pokollbin area already and we hope that by this weekend Montvalley wines will be ready - the Semillon is the first to be handpicked and as it's a smaller block the harvester can't manouvre as well as the bigger Chardonnay and Shiraz paddocks.. The rest will be done by harvester. Love Chris

Thanks Patti, I get a bee in my bonnet and have to finish each project I do. I'll certainly have a few grapes, maybe some vino as well!! Love Chris

I think the same Laura, he's a gorgeous looking Santa. I also can't wait to get it completed. Love Chris

Me too Linda, love Chris

Hi Betsey, we were only talking about this last night at dinner. I'm not sure I'll keep it up all year, although he is spectacular to look at. Love Chris

Thanks so much Lidia, I appreciate that coming from you as your work is always fantastic!!!! Love Chris

Thanks so much Lynette, I am thrilled with it and yes it does make me proud! Love Chris

Thanks so much, it's the digitisers who have the talent, I just sew them out, but I thank you anyway. Love Chris

Hi Tonya, no I didn't, but it's been hours and hours and so much thread and I lost count of how many bobbins I used up. Thanks for commenting, love Chris

You do such beautiful work on your jackets Jenne. I'm lucky that I can do this all day if needed, as I'm fully retired. Just have school runs etc. in the afternoon. Love Chris

Thanks Sonja, yes, I hope so. Love Chris

Thanks so much Pam, I agree with you. Love Chris

Hi Penny, thank you so much and it's going to be about 33x26 inches. I've been asked by the family to make it a wall hanging. When not in use it will be put away in one of my containers which hold all my Christmas paraphernalia. Love Chris

Hi Brenda, yes, that's my next step. Love Chris

Thanks Jan, yes, I agree. You should give it a go, it's very easy, just time consuming. Love Chris

Thanks so much Mary, love Chris

Hi Linda, me too. I'm hoping to start sewing it together soon. Love Chris

Grazie Roberta, I appreciate your comments. I can't wait either, but I'm redoing 2 tiles that I'm not happy with. Love Chris

Thanks Maria, I hope it will be gorgeous when finished. Love Chris

Hi Sharon, I asked myself the same question Sharon, I think it was my oversight, but I did it twice, so I doubted my selection.

I actually bought all the threads for this design so I had them all lined up for each tile. I may have stopped and started and then thought I'd done it, so just make sure you keep an eye on the thread number. I notice in Starry night Santa doesn't have any gold on his belt.

"dday" did "Starry Night" and she was the one that convinced me to try "Enchanted Santa". Love Chris
