Thank you for giving me the pleasure of sharing my Christmas past ornaments with you and thank you for your comments of delight and joy.
Every time I see this Santa I think of elegance. Unfortunately, the lighting did not allow the technique in the hat to show. The hat is satin stitched and the gold braid stitched over the top to create a quilted fabric look.
The tassels are elegantly stitched with both silk and glittering threads. The little Jester Santa has a fun beard created with knots.
I appreciate and enjoy every single comment you've shared with me over the course of my Advent Santa Parade. May your season be Merry and Bright!!








LOVE the tassels!

Not only am I impressed with your stitchery but someone put a lot of skill into the finishing. In ancient times my sisters and I owned a needlework shop and did finishing for customers. I can see a lot of thought and effort went in to enhancing your beautiful work.
