Here are the first 2 Santa tea towels for my Ladies Christmas luncheon. All of the Santa Claus' I'll be doing are from Misty Mountain. I've had them for many years. I love their comical appearance. Love Chris
1. Skinny Santa on navy blue tea towels. (I like dark tea towels, as they don't show the dirt up as much). One on left was made on Husqvarna and the one the right on the Brother. HUNDREDS OF JUMP THREADS TO CUT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Lolly. They took a while to do as I had wanted matching thread on the back as well. They were made in the 5x7 hoop and this one particular Santa has about 20,000 stitches! Love Chris

I think it might be the angle, because they are actually the same in appearance in real life. Thanks for commenting, love Chris

chris,
these are gorgeous. Finally, it dawned on me, why you are in hurry with x mass projects. We are just looking forward to spring here in US. Thanks for sharing your projects.

Hi Phi4, I like to get the gifts for the ladies out of the way a while before the luncheon because I've usually got other things on in the middle of the year. Thanks for commenting. I'm sorry I don't know your name. Love Chris
Hi Chris,
I wish I was as organized as you are when it comes to doing projects. One year, I had to do 40 dinner napkins with holly design to match my Lenox x mass china.I barely made it on time ! I hope to do your cosmetic bags one of these time. Thank you for inspiration.
