New Santa




I hope you all are having a great Harvest season. I am enjoying the many colors that nature brings to us this time of year but I have to admit that I am sad to see the warm weather go away!


I have been working on a new Santa and he is now complete. He is helping me get into the Christmas spirit. I made him from Deanna Hogan's Sleepytime Santa pattern. He will be in a special Santa display in a show I am participating in this coming Saturday.


He was a joy to make. Thanks Deanna for a great pattern!

NITA!
He's awesome! I love the fabric you chose. You are inspiring me to make Santa's - if I can just get out of this @%$^&*! mummy wrap and get my left arm back.
Hope to see you soon - miss you!

Excellent job, Nita!!
I plan on making a couple of "Sleeptime Santas" myself. I picked out some adorable Christmas flannel, one with penguins all over, and bells for his hat. The "Believe" fabric you used is awesome though...I'm just a little jealous...lol. :o)
