""Big Joe" works construction by day, and plays the sax by night.

By day, all Big Joe hears are drilling, hammering, pounding and yelling. Soulless, robotic and nothing but restrained aggression.

By night, Big Joe fills his ears with the crisp clear sounds of his own music, caressing the mouthpiece with his lips, filling the night skies with echoed tenderness, which embraces him and puts him at peace, pushing away the day's soundscape and grime. Nobody else knows about Big Joe's music and nobody has heard them, except for his wife who has since left him, as she "did not believe in his music", or so she tells him...

Big Joe wishes one day he could pay to sit in a classical concert, and listen to others play for him instead, so that he could close his eyes and let the music hold him lovingly … But for now, he needs to work to pay the bills and alimony, and listens to the memory of his own music every night, which carries him across dreamlands, before the drilling, hammering and yelling begins again the next day…"

As the toy years wind to a close – the CARS factory cases has gotten pretty weird, some great, some pretty good and some now we’re not quite sure what is accurate … (still investigating!) … but the T case is the weirdest of them all. I double checked, it is definitely the “T Case.” [...]

Just when I think my sister's quilt designs couldn't possibly get any better she comes out with yet another beautiful wall art quilt design. This time she's created a beautiful poinsettia wall quilt in time for the holiday season.  Her pattern contains directions for finishing with a wood frame or finishing as a traditional quilt on a dowel hanger.  Either way the design is stunning.

ICBD017 TIS THE SEASON - 19"x 19" Frame or Quilt - Fabric Wall Art Pattern With Framing and Dowel Hanging Instructions

Here's what my sister had to say about her new "Tis The Season" pattern:

Poinsettias are my favorite holiday plant.  Although I like them in all three of their colors, red - pink and white; I am especially partial to the white and that was my inspiration for this pattern.

"TIS THE SEASON" is 15 pages containing a digital picture of the framed fabric wall art, step-by-step digital picture instructions along with detailed written instructions for creating the frame or quilt - fabric wall art; full size EASY TRACE pattern pieces for easy tracing onto iron-on transfer paper as well as instructions for creating the wood frame or dowel hanging. A material list is on the back of the pattern cover.

I hope you enjoy creating "TIS THE SEASON".
