MY LAST 2 SANTAS! Yeah, I finally finished the last 2 Santa appliques. I did one today at my Sewing Guild and then another one this evening. These have taken about 4 hours each!!!! I am thrilled with the lot of them. Now all I have to do is sew them to the quilt. Maybe next week! Love and blessings Chris
1. Is Old Man Winter Santa - the 2nd one I did.
2. King Santa in rich purple - also the 2nd one of this design. My quilt is one one of my other posts.

WOW! You have done a beautiful job on these Santas. I'm sure It will be treasured by someone for a long time. What type fabric did you stitch them on? I wish i was brave enough to do something like this! GREAT job!!!!!!!!! Jane

Thanks so much for commenting. I've stitched the designs on to red cotton and ll the fabrics are cotton scraps that I have here. Some velveteen, faux fur for the capes and beards and also chenille too. You can do it, they are just very time consuming. Love and blessings Chris

Thanks Laura. Yes, I can imagine them fingering the fabrics. I particularly love the purple one just finished as I used a beautiful white fur fabric for his cape. Love and blessings Chris

Chris these two are breath taking! Well, all of them are your shared with us here. When I saw your purple fabric Santa, tears came in my eyes because the fabric was in the goodie bag you sent me, My heart is so touched and each time I play with those fabrics I think of you...and yes even talk to you! LOL. Your Mum taught you well with her words, and all your gorgeous work is an inspiration to me.. I hope one day to be half as good as you when I grow up!

Wow Chris they look fantastic. I love Evys designs but for these I'm to unpatient :o) What a pity that I have missed her annual sale at the end of 2012 but get some of her designs in the treasure-hunt at secretsof ;-)
Looking forward to see the complete quilt...
Greetings, Bettina

At secretsof you get a nice bonus for orders of 10$ and more from Evy but you can save even more when you went to her own shop and search the monthly specials (5$ per set!): http://www.absolutelysew.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=15. Have to go shopping *lol*
Thanks so much Bettina. Love Chris
