Dear Cuties, I've had a nice day at home, cleaning, ironing, sewing, whilst the Tilers did the Bathroom and Toilet floors. They will be back Monday to do the walls. Hopefully the fit-out will be before the weekend as we have Ben's boys here next Thursday and Friday for a sleepover.
Now that we have no bath, they will just have a shower!
These are the Frizzy Cross-stitch Santas I showed a couple of days ago from Becky J's cross-stitch company. Love Chris

Chris, These turned out great. Love your red fabric and each Santa makes the one beside it cuter. They'd be hanging all year at my house...

Thanks Betsey, I wanted to bring the stars out as each Santa has a star in it and I was fortunate enough when I was at Spotlight last year I saw a pack of fat quarters in reds! The star fabric was a piece in it! So it matched perfectly. Love Chris

Thanks Kim, well each year I try to do some sort of Christmas themed sewing project. As I'm a nutter for Santas, this was ideal. It's worked out about 20 inches square. Each little Santa was a 4x4 and I just made it on a piece of white fabric that I cut at 6 1/2 inch square. Love Chris
I love doing machine embroidered cross stitch...it is mesmerizing to watch it stitch out!

Ha ha ha! I can't believe it's only 3 weeks away. We also finish our daylight saving on Easter Sunday 1st April. It's so dark here in the mornings when I go for my walk, so I can't wait.
with you there! hate the last month of daylight saving. not really saving as we have the light on in the mornings because it's so dark.

Great job. Did you do them on Aida cloth or just regular fabric? Either way it's spectacular.

Hi Jerrilyn, it's just on ordinary white cloth with a bit of a liine look to it. It's a gorgeous fabric. Love Chris

You have shown us a good example of how you can use cross stitch designs on fabric other than Aida cloth. A very good example it is, too! I must admit, I don't collect very many XST designs but you've done excellent work of these. What stabilizer did you use please?

Thanks so much Toogie, I only ever use Tear away - medium weight normally. I buy it in large rolls about 12 inches wide. Love Chris (This is of course an Australian company)
