I've had this beautiful cross-stitch Santa for a couple of years. My awesome Sis-in-law made it for me.
Finally, I figured out it's final resting place!
How perfect is this Persimmon Henna Garden fabric (the red) from Sandi Henderson.
Note to Corrie:
I need all the colors left of Henna Garden.
Thank you.
Love Des.
Being the wise, thrifty gal that I am *read lazy* I'm just using one of my sofa pillows and making this a removable cover for my regularly scheduled pillow.
My awesome Sis-in-law has my name again this year!!
Crossing fingers for more cross-stitch!!

The cross stitched Santa is beautiful! How fortunate you are that someone spent so much time making you a beautiful gift and you turning it into a gorgeous pillow. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteThat Santa pillow is increadible, it goes so well with the fabric. You are so lucky.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see that someone enjoys receiving a hand-crafted gift. Whenever we draw names, I always want to make something for the recipient and I'm never sure if they think I'm being "cheap" because it's handmade.
