The first issue of Gator Springs Gazette to appear on the web was the Christmas Quilt of 2001. The quilt was a simple grid of 18 patchwork pieces forming links to a collection of stories, poems, graphics and essays presented as a holiday greeting by contributors to the Novellas County and Gator Springs Gazettes. Progressively more patches were required to produce the 2002 and 2003 versions. Fandango Virtual has decided to discontinue publishing annual quilt editions as our contributor base has grown too large to be able to include everyone. To commemorate this tradition we have collected some of the best works from earlier quilts along with a few new pieces in a special holiday issue:

QUILTED IN GATOR SPRINGS

This special collection of 21 holiday themed stories and poems did not appear online as such. The print version was included with "new GSG gift subscriptions—something to wrap and give as an immediate gift to hold and enjoy during the holidays and as a symbol of the reading experience to follow in the six quality issues to be delivered throughout 2005."
