September 2015 Santa Face Pattern of the Month

Stoney Creek's popular Pattern of the Month begins a new three part series with the September 2015 design "HO HO HO...Santa."

We stitched the design by itself on 14ct Aida and framed it in a 6x6 Candy Cane button frame from Stoney Creek, and also stitched all three designs together on 18ct Anne Cloth and have it displayed as a banner with a Christmas Tree fabric holder. The Santa face also makes a darling ornament when stitched on 14ct or 28ct over two threads and finished with a 3" round finishing form! Stitch count for "HO HO HO... Santa" is 70w x 71h, approximately 5" x 5" on 14ct. DMC colors in “HO HO HO...Santa” are B5200, 353, 415, 701, 754, 762, 777, 813, 814, 948, 3371, 3778, 3818 and 3831. Beads and specialty threads used are Mill Hill beads 03049 Rich Red, Glissen Gloss Rainbow Blending Threads 000 Bright White and 901 Silver, and 2 skeins of Weeks Dye Works 2173 Envy (DMC sub 701). The design is embellished (optional) with two handmade glitter holly buttons.
