A draw for the Christmas baby's quilt.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.
Christmas is over and the new year is greeting us. I had the idea of giving this little quilt to some small Christmas baby.
If there are babies born in December or January among your acquaintances, then write the names of those children's mothers in the comments.
On the evening of 10 January I will draw the recipient of the quilt in the picture from the 10 most mentioned names. There is no point in one commenter writing the same name repeatedly; that does not count. You may of course enter yourself. In the draw I count the names mentioned both in the comments here and in the comments under the same announcement on the Facebook page.
Good luck.

The Christmas baby's quilt (100 x 120 cm).
Christmas babies are born only once a year. For a very special Christmas baby I sewed a quite special little quilt, with elves, spruce branches and Christmas candles. May this little quilt bring the child plenty of joy and Christmas peace for many years.
If that is your child or grandchild or someone close and dear to whom you would like to give this quilt, then add their name in the comments.

The materials used are cotton, linen and, to a small extent, viscose blend fabrics. The interlining is wool (70%) wadding, the backing a soft and pleasant flannel. Densely quilted through.

The quilt is machine washable on the wool programme, with a light spin. Softer and more pleasant with every wash.

Violin case repair

Last school year, I repaired my grandchild's violin case. The loops meant for attaching the backpack straps had torn off. She cycles to school, and it’s impossible to ride while holding the violin in your hand. Naturally, the violin and case—which belonged to the school—went back at the start of the summer. Now that the new school year has begun, she has been issued a school violin and case again, but this one is in even worse condition than last year's. So, I undertook the repair once more. This time, I decided to replace the entire back panel—including the piping—and cover the torn section at the end of the case with a leather patch. I used reflective tape for the top layer of the piping. The video condenses six hours of work into three minutes. If anyone finds themselves in need of a similar repair, I will be able to take on a few jobs starting in February 2027, and I can handle a few at a time during the summer break.
