Prairie Schooler - 1994 Yearly Santa

 I finished the stitching on this Santa yesterday afternoon.  The red is much brighter in this picture then in person.



Designer:  Prairie Schooler - Design:  1994 Yearly Santa

Fabric:  Colour & Cotton Aida - mystery count and color - Floss:  Called for DMC

1st Stitch:  4/10/2021 - Last Stitch:  4/24/2021

For:  Me

I wish I could understand why Santa is holding a Sunflower.  My husband said he

is celebrating Christmas in July.  Maybe.


I plan on seeing of the woman at the Party Shop in Limerick is still doing finishing.  If she is I will

take this to her for finishing.  It isn't that I don't love the way Vonna and Faye Riggsbee  finish

my stitching, I just think that I will support a local finisher.

Prairie Schooler - 2020 Yearly Santa

 I just received this back from the framer yesterday.  I sent it to Faye Riggsbee, The Carolina Stitcher.  She did an amazing job and always makes my stitching look so good.





I-m currently stitching the 1994 yearly Santa.  Should have the stitching finished in a few more days.  Once it is done I am going to call a local finisher to see if she is still doing finishing and see what she does with it.  I love the way Faye and Vonna finish my Santas but I want to keep a local business running so I will see if Ronnie is still doing finishing.
