I heard from
Nicole today that she received the ornament I stitched for her for the HoE Prairie Schooler Exchange. It was really fun to stitch this Santa from an "ancient" leaflet (copyright 1988) - I truly like their older designs better than their newer ones, in many cases. So glad Nicole says she likes this one. Sadly, I realized after I took the pic of the ornament hanging from a huge honeysuckle bush/tree that is against my back porch that some bits from the honeysuckle are on his face in two areas... if you see them, they are not boo boos - lol. I just hope I didn't send the ornament to her with those bits of dried honeysuckle plant on it!
St. Nicholas Ornament
Prairie Schooler
28 ct Riviera French Country Linen, DMC Floss
I also personalized the back a bit for her. The dove and mistletoe are from a different Santa in the leaflet...
Hope everyone is having a lovely late summer (or spring in the 'other' hemisphere) - happy stitching to all... I best get started on more of SV part 9, as I see part 10 is about to be released.... I am lagging behind...lol

Fab finish ~ I love the back!!!
Great ornament. I think I'll have to pull out a PS Santa book and stitch one or two of them, too.
Both the Bat and PS ornament look fabulous.
Beautiful ornament finish. I am sure that Nicole will treasure it!
