Prairie Schooler 98 Santa

So I am in a mad dash to get this done, it's the 1998 Santa by Prairie Schooler. I think it will make a perfect ornament, I'm making it for Eve and the kids.

And here is the after. I over stuffed it with balsam fir shavings, so that if she doesn't want it on the tree, she can use it in the car as an air freshener.

St. Nick

I have finished another Prairie Schooler, St. Nick. It's on 14 count Aida, and was a PS freebie. They nolonger have it posted on the site, so I'll post a copy below - enjoy!

Two By Two

I think the Prairie Schooler has some of my favorite patterns, they have the best colors and subjects. I think I am going to use several to create my tree hanging. I stitched this on 14 count beige aida.

Ornament

I recently joined the Embroiderers’ Guild of America and the December project is to make two mitten ornaments, one to keep and one to give away. This is the first ornament that I’ve made, and I think it looks good for a first attempt. I will hopefully have worked out all of the kinks when I make the second one. The patterns are from The Prairie Schooler Twelve Days of Christmas series.

I decided to put the Two Turtle Doves on the back. I added a small satchel inside with some balsam sticks, and I am craving winter now. I added a small patch of velcro to keep the balsam inside.
