A Special Gift for Fred

Last year, I made my Uncle Fred a wall hanging for his birthday. It can be seen here. He called last month to let me know about a special Christmas present he received from his wife, Hazel. Yesterday, he and his wife came for a visit and he brought his special gift, here it is...

Hazel took the wall hanging and had it framed! While at the framers, she remembered that she hadn't signed it. I am so glad she thought about that! What a wonderful selection for the frame and mat color. My uncle is so pleased. I am so happy the wall hanging means so much to them. What a great reminder of a wonderful day with friends and family!

Another Birthday, Another Wall Hanging

Sometime in the past year, there was a movie about Santa's brother Fred Claus. I LOL when they started advertising this movie, because my Uncle Santa has a brother named Fred, FOR REAL. His 80th birthday was yesterday, but he is giving himself a party today!

I made Uncle Fred a wall hanging like his brother's.

I made a few changes so they are not exactly alike.

I put a solid navy border on this one,

instead of having plaid squares

in the corners and I did a bit of mixing of fabrics.

This one is Santa's. He really enjoyed receiving it.

I also gave him a bag of double stuff Oreo cookies, his favorite!

Now, that is a gift you can sink your teeth into!

Have a lovely weekend and try to stay cool.

The temperature here is suppose to reach 100 today.

Take care
