I finished up woodland Santa and he is waiting with the others to be made into an pillow ornament! I really like this one with the raccoon, squirrel and rabbit and all the birds! Two more charts to stitch and I will have 12 Santa's completed!

Then I started working on Linen and Threads 2020SAL. I was glad to see a few more birds are in this chart! This one shouldn't take very long, but I spent most of yesterday unpicking the stitches from the day before. You know, that darn one stitch off!!!!!! But I am back on track and hope to finish up this chart today!

I went on line to look at more prairie schooler Santas and I saw a couple of charts from Little House Needlworks that I decided to order instead! One is the Summer ABC's and the other Fall ABC's. Hopefully I can get the fall one stitched up and ready to hang for this fall.
I also need to pull out my lightbox and trace a few Kathy Schmitz patterns and work on embroidering them. If I can get the tracing done I know they wouldn't take long to do, but somehow my days get away from me.
Love your work! I am a recovering cross-stitcher. 🤣 It was my hobby of choice before I got heavily into quilting.
ReplyDeleteYes both hobbies are so addicting! I needed a break from quilting and this seems to fit the bill.
DeleteI love these - I have some Christmas stitching that I haven't started on - if I am going to use them I have got to get moving!
ReplyDeleteYes Christmas comes faster every year it seems! I am glad I started on January with these Santas!
DeleteHe is a really neat Santa with all his animal friends! Love the Kathy Schmitz designs, too. You have lots of fun stitching to do!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I really love the woodland Santa too!
DeleteSanta looks terrific! Love the Kathy Schmitz designs, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad I joined the stitch club her designs are so sweet
DeleteI can just imagine how fabulous all 12 of your gorgeous Santas will look all finished and displayed together. Well done you, for having completed 10. Have fun stitching the next 2.
ReplyDeleteYes I am looking forward to the day that I can get them all done and display them together!
DeleteI love that Santa. I really like those embroidery pieces that you have lined up too. Enjoy your stitching.
ReplyDeleteNever a dull moment here! With the heat we are having I am so thankful for these projects to pick up when I just need to relax
DeleteI love Santa #10 ... Enjoy your cross stitching and embroidery this week :) Can't wait to see all you get accomplished this week too <3

It seems I get slower and slower but it is all about putting in a few stitches when I feel like it so it's not about how many things I get done. But there are so many things I would love to start, but remember they all take time
DeleteWoodland Santa and friends are absolutely charming! It's nice to switch off projects. I hear ya girlfriend on days getting away. Same here and I can't figure out why.
ReplyDeleteYes it is nice to have variety as long as I don't keep starting and never finish that drives me crazy!
DeleteSanta is wonderful! I can't believe only 2 left. Looks like you have plenty of projects to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteA bit like quilting every stitch helps you get where you are going.
DeleteAww.. love the stitching with the birds especially! So annoying to have to take out stitches and redo. Some days are just gonna be that way!
ReplyDeleteYes there are those days! But fortunately they don't happen to often. Pulling out stitches isn't too bad and alway worth the time in the final product after all they need to make you happy!
