Hi Cuties,
Well here is my surprise project I'm making for my Ladies Christmas luncheon. I've got 7 more to make. It is a Santa Cutlery holder. As Santas are my table's theme this year I thought how cute to have these.
This item is made entirely in the hoop. I've used wool batting in top section and also the backing. It's totally lined with no open seams! I wish the zig-zag was a bit longer, but never mind it worked really well. The pattern instructions are totally easy to read with coloured pictures of every stage. This one was made in the 5x7 hoop. Just having a look again at him it looks like he has two little hairs on his head. That is actually Reindeer fabric and it is the Reindeer's antlers showing!
By the way I purchased it from Sweet Pea Embroidery - an Australian company. Love Chris

Thanks Sarah, but these will be staying with me!!! I have made the ladies plenty of other things. And yes, I get lovely gifts from the ladies, but I don't open them until Christmas morning. Love Chris
You must let us see. Are they also hand made. Sorry - just being quizzy
No - normally I'm the only one who makes things. Oh! wait a minute Meg has made me some things. Love Chris

Chris this is cute, have seen the design on the facebook site from sweet- pea and love the angel design too, but have not purchased it until now. The antlers are amazing.

Ha ha, they weren't meant to be there, just the positioning of the fabric. Love Chris

Chris counts on her gift making and party preps sealing the deal on being good with Santa! Very cute self-portrait on the silverware holder.
Thanks so much Lorraine and Betsey! Love Chris

He is a cute one. I like his mustache and beard, so curly. I wonder if it would be possible to add a piece of the faux fur fabric to give his beard/mustache a 3D effect?

Of course you could as long as you watch for when the stitching gets to there as it's all done in one whole section. Love Chris

Thanks Angie, I hope so. I'll have to keep my eye on them though. One year I had fabulous metal Poppers and one of my guests took it! Now I only have 7 :( Love Chris

Santa is cute--I am enjoying seeing designs stitched out and comments about them. Always afraid something may be way too hard to stitch so thank you for commenting.

Hi Pea, this one is really easy to sew out. It's a bit tricky pulling inside out the first section and then again on the second section, but it is all explained in the instructions. Love Chris
