Hello Cuties, I am feeling rather smug about this, even though it took me most of the day-lol-This is my version of Santa's cookie and milk placemat (too big for a mug rug). <br /><br />
I used Cute Embroidery's Santa on the lower right corner (see link below) but I omitted his pockets by skipping those stitches (I hope you don't mind Ms V).<br /><br />
The gingerbread man was from ages ago, just filed as gbman. I have the gbGirl, too but no idea where they were from, but I downloaded in 2012. The outline is off leaving empty spaces, so it is a good thing it's on a busy fabric square. All in all I am satisfied.<br /><br />
I made a pocket for his cookies (see 3 rd photo). And lastly, I remembered my 'Toogie' brand!<br /><br />
I hope you like what I came up with and also hope it excites Miss Nora! Have a great day or night my friends!-Toogie

Great job! Nora will be thrilled! Was this done ITH or???
2 comments
Of course not!-lol- I could only wish for Santa to bring me a machine with a BIG emb field! ..another LOL
I did a background stipple ITH though, on each square, then embroidered what I wanted on each. Centered and then cut to size 6 1/2 square taking 1/2 inch seams, when I sewed my blocks together. I ended up with a whopping, nearly 12 inch square....I bet you could design something like this ITH though!....

Great Project, love everything about it.

Thanks, although the original idea and ITH design came from another site, I thought I could put something similar together with what I have.

Thank you Mrs Lillian, you know we do anything to make our kids happy. I made this without Nora and a good thing too. She would have lost interest as long as it took me-lol-also I worked with a stopped up ear. I feel like I'm underwater.....

Glad you love it! It's easy to be a good Gram when I hear her say 'I love you Gram!'
AND those are the best 4 words to hear. I too love it.
Wendyy, when she comes I hear it at least once a day, but most days more. Just out of the blue she tells me. I love it too.
that's cause it is True!!!You are a blessing to her!!

Such a beautiful work!
Love this mat. Think Miss Nora will love it too.
Toogie the designs are from a set - CharmingStation-ChristmasCookieSet. The gingerbreads come with some other cookies: rendeer, candy-cane star & stocking.

I had a look... this set is always free in their Yahoo group files.
I found the rest of them today, on my computer,and it is as you say, from Charming Station.
Nora chose the green one I just posted.

What a great mat for Santa's cookies and milk. I think you did a Nora-praiseworthy job. You are a thoughtful grandmother.
1 comment
No different than you, but thank you. She came by and chose the newest green one, so I guess this blue is for little Rylan.

Fabulous Job Toogie.
I have lots of Santa and Cookie designs so I could follow your lead and make some.
You are such an inspiration. Thank you.
