I had a class with Liberty Rose yesterday and we made this Santa Claus pillow. The face is embroidered with one strand of floss and a silver floss was used to get the twinkles in his eye. When the face and other parts were stitched down, a bit of stuffing was added to make him “pop” off the background. I added the “ho, ho, ho” on the side since he wasn’t quite centered by himself.
What Christmas projects are you trying to finish up before the holidays?
Keep it thimble!
Keep it Thimble 
This is really cute. He really looks like the real Santa. If you had a lot of time, he would make a special chair back dressing for the dinning room chairs.
That’s a good idea!
a perfect pillow that says “ho-h0-h0”,
Thanks!
