I've been doing a bit of cross stitch over the summer holidays. I've now completed 5 Prairie Schooler Santas. The company releases a new Santa pattern every year and I bought about 30 of them when I decided to join this craze. I keep them all in one project bag so it's easy to pick another one when I finish one.

I haven't turned them into FFO's yet (Finally Finished Objects) because I want to stitch more of them first and then finish them all in a similar manner - probably mini pillows but I'm not totally sure yet.
I do like having something small and relatively easy to stitch. The design all use a limited palette of colours so I keep a good supply of cottons and my chosen linen in the my project bag too.
Beautiful Santas. I've started cross stitching lately ... it's as addictive as quilting!
ReplyDeleteall very very nice...what a collection
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! These are really wonderful! I'm so glad you shared them.
ReplyDeleteLovely Santa stitching Wendy, they are always a fun project to work on.
ReplyDeleteI have about 20 Prairie Schooler Santas completed and I am not sure what to do with all of them. They are stitched on 7 count cloth making the Santas about 8x10 inches but I would leave extra around them. Do you think I could put them all together in a quilt with sashing in between?
ReplyDeleteHello. I like the idea of putting them all into a quilt, but you would have to be very careful that the threads don't get pulled if you intend to use it on a bed. It would make a great wall hanging or Christmas display.
