I grew up in western Massachusetts.  Our home was part of a large valley in the state so we would have countless gray days in the winter.  We were close enough to the Berkshires so we’d also get a lot of snow.  I grew to love those cold snowy days because it was on those days that I would be taken on adventures in the library books I borrowed while drinking tea under a quilt.  It was also on those winter days that I discovered my love for sewing.  This panel is such that we’re the ones standing outside in that cold weather while Santa is indoors next to a warm fire.  But have no fear, you’ll definitely feel the warmth as you sew this quick project together!
