Nativity Scene by
K. C.
Hi,
Several years ago, I saw a pattern for a Nativity Scene, which was a

Lucille by

I can`t find the original header, Lucille, but had the following brought to
my attention. Before I quote that though, I really thought you understood

Recognize this Santa pattern?? by
Dawne Peterson
An acquaintance showed me a small piece mounted as a pillow, featuring a
Santa and the words "Wanted--Jolly man with presents". But she wouldn't
tell me who the designe was. (She probably doesn't share recipes either!).
Anyone know who did it?

Suzanne N. Fernandes

dramatic increase in gas prices. I spoke with my grandmother about it and
she said that it has always been high in the city that they live in.

cover with boiling water. As it`s fizzing pop the snall items in and leave
for a few minutes. You`ll see them cleaning very fast - when clean...

Then there is Forty Five Year from Now, much the same vein. A great
