Another Santa completed! Number six was fun to stitch as he was a gardener and the flowers have been so pretty this year in my little perennial bed. I really am glad that Santa enjoys to garden in the off season, it must be quite relaxing for him.
Then of course since the Linen and Threads SAL's new chart hasn't come out yet, I decided to get a start on Santa # 7. I chose him since he's a patriotic Santa and has on his three corner hat and has a flag and bugle in his pack. I thought that would be quite fitting as we are coming up on Flag Day and before you know it, it will be time to celebrate the Fourth of July!
I couldn't resist laying the six finished Santa's out and snapping a picture. Three were done on 16 ct aida and 3 on 18 ct aida. I like variety I guess!

love seeing all the santa's laid out together I really like them
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I laid them out! I definitely want to do more!
DeleteHow beautiful all your Santas look all laid out together. I must say I love the gardening Santa. =) Love the hat on the patriotic Santa....very July the Fourth. I wonder how you Americans will celebrate Independence Day this year??
ReplyDeleteI sure hope things settle down by the fourth! I for one haven't gone to see fireworks in person in years. I prefer to watch the celebrations on the public broadcasting stations.
DeleteLove the gardening Santa! This is the first that I've seen him. I have one Prairie Schooler Santa chart, but it's too fine and black & white for my eyes to follow along. I could enlarge it, but need the color. Looking forward to seeing #7.
ReplyDeleteI copy my patterns and mark off what I have done with a orange highlighter. That helps a lot but these really are pretty basic crossstitch. I am not into anything to complicated!
DeleteI love your Santas. I have only done one of those - I might have to start collecting more patterns!
ReplyDeleteI think I have become addicted to them. There are quite a out there!
DeleteThey are all so cute and have so many stitches.
ReplyDeleteYes some have a lot of stitches but they are complicated. Not much backstitching and no half stitches etc!
DeleteLove how the different colors of the background add great depth to the Santas. They are going to look great together.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I too like the different backgrounds. I used a bit less tea in my second dyeing bath and am happy with the results.
DeleteI love all of these Santas! Beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks me too, I think I need to order a few more to do
DeleteYour Santas are just wonderful! Such cute and creative pieces to stitch!
ReplyDeleteI sure am enjoying these Santa's small projects are just what is needed in my life right now
DeleteLots of lovely Santas! I so admire you clever ladies who can cross stitch, not something I have ever done.
ReplyDeleteIt's really not hard but does take some good reading glasses and good light LOL
