I Believe In Santa by Nancy Halvorsen

The fabric collection I Believe in Santa by Nancy Halvorsen for Benartex has arrived!

From Benartex web site: “We believe that just one look at this charming new collection will make you believe in Santa too! There’s something about Nancy’s fabrics that make people remember the important things in life-family, laughter, dreams, hope. These are just a few of the heartwarming themes of her new Christmas panel. With warm colors and loads of rich textures and plaids of rich garnet red, amber, loden green or teal, I Believe in Santa, is the perfect choice for all your holiday projects.”
