Moving on

Santa has a face and I have started the turkey work for the brim of his hat

All of it

I finished the background on the left so the background is finished.

One side

The background is done down the right side and a bit more of the left today.

And now

I added more background and the hat today.

Progress

After a bit of decision making, I have chosen the Giant T stitch using two strands of Gloriana and one of Accentuate for the background on Santa.

Santa

I am going to do a line drawn Santa on gray canvas, which is really hard to see, but I have started pulling threads.

Then

This is a design by Lynn Payette. It starts with 18 count canvas and then silk lame is ironed on and embellishments added. It was supposed to be a pin but I turned it into a small picture instead. The design is 1.25 x 3.
