Hello, Last year when the Christmas Village pack was introduced, I just had to use the designs to make the Santa sacks featured on your project page. I embroidered the signs on heavy white satin with my Husqvarna Viking Designer Diamond. I then used a decorative blanket stitch to attach them to upholstery fabric, and added the white fur trim using my Designer 1 sewing machine. They were so much fun to make! I used them as gift bags for my family's Christmas presents (although the huge bags were not stuffed to the brim with presents)! I am attaching pictures of the seven bags I made. You may use them for Stitcher's showcase if you wish. I really look forward every day to checking your site for inspiration and new designs. Keep up the good work. Yours truly, Diane Woolfe Oakville, Ontario, Canada Hi Leslie, So glad you liked the photos. To answer your question, I let my family keep the bags as part of their present. Who knows - maybe someone will recycle one back to me some Christmas. However, I doubt it. They seemed to want to keep them for themselves, especially the four young boys (all under six years old at the time). One three-year-old played with it like a sleeping bag. I'm sure they will make good use of them, even if it is only for storage. Keep up the good work on your site! Diane
