Santa is Stitched!

I have been busy stitching my Prairie Schooler Santa. 
Ever since I saw this post on Priscillas, I realized I had to stitch Santa quickly so that I could use her ideas for finishing. I love the way she finished her Santas. You can find a great tutorial for a Flat Ornament finishing on The Twisted Stitcher. Now that Santa is stitched I have to go through my stash and find the right fabric to back it and give me the look that I want. I believe I have a red ticking stripe that might be perfect. 

I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching today. I think maybe Baker Beach will get a little attention today or I may find myself spending some time knitting. On Monday, I will link up to Super Mom- No Cape for the Stitchery Link Party. Pop on over to these sites to see what other bloggers are up to.

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Whenever I think of Priscilla it's either her stitching or absolutely amazing holiday cookie baking that comes to mind :) Nice to see Santa all done and your GOBBLE header! :)

  26. Your Santa looks great! And thanks so much for linking to that tutorial for how to mount them. I wonder if that would work for a larger embroidered piece too? Hmmm... I think I have just the one to give it a try with.

    Thanks for the link and thanks as well for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party and for the link back. Aloha hugs!
