Santa Update

So, you heard it here first! Santa has one arm! Here he is.
I know that the brown thing looks like a bat but, let me reassure you, it is the leg of a table. A table which has been embroidered and will be appliqued on later this evening.

Let me call attention to the beautiful detail on Santa's apron.
The large areas of green are embroidered. See the little pocket on the apron? The green on that was especially difficult because it was on th edge of the felt. Felt is a P.I.T.A. to embroider because it breaks apart when you push a needle through it.

When I get a bit further along I'll post a higher resolution photo of the stocking. So far I'm very happy with how it's turning out. I'm able to keep my stitches even and the same depth. Stuffing the pieces has been a little difficult, because it's hard to keep the polyester fiberfill evenly distributed.

Well, time to go work on the tabletop!
