About the Design

Some purchases need no explanation, although Santa may disagree. This playful Christmas tee is for quilters who know that an unexpected fabric purchase is rarely a bad decision, especially when there is room in the stash.

With its festive quilting theme and tongue-in-cheek message, it is an easy conversation starter for Christmas sewing days, quilt group gatherings and relaxed celebrations. It also makes a fun gift for the fabric lover who can never walk past a good print.
