Found fabric from a pair of wool shorts that I used to wear in the winter, with tights, on thin legs, normal thighs, average butt, long before hysterectobelly. Back in time when estrogen was plentiful and jawlines were tight. It's the closest blue I can find to this odd linen. I was thinking of a sack finish but don't know if I want to bother. I'll set him aside until I have a few more new Santas stitched and see which finish would be best for them.
If the new charts come in the next day or so, I will continue with the Santas but if not, I need to pick a small sampler. And if you're wondering why this guy looks different, I left off the side greenery.
The sale of a few boxes and corner measures will be this Sunday at 8pm EST. I will post that the sale is open and items will be on the FOR SALE tab beneath the header photo. It's not there now, but hopefully, with any luck, and cooperation from Windows 10, barring any hot flashes, it will be. Same instructions as before, sales will be through emails only since most of you are no-reply.
Thanks for visiting.
Have a good weekend.

That plaid works really well with this Santa, and I think it would make a great sack!
I love your Santa! I had lots of those shorts worn with tights, too.
Windows 10. OMG! I hate it.

Santa turned out Great! the plaid shorts/fabric looks perfect for him. I like his green bag- a little unexpected but a good balance. have a good sale- I will pass this time since I picked up a great selection from the last one.
Love him, and that plaid is perfect too!
Your Santa came out great! And now that the sack is complete, it seems the stars stand out better ... or did you end up backstitching them?
Santa turned out really great. The plaid looks good with the piece.
Marly, Oh my! We just caught up reading several of your posts. We are so glad that you are safe following the near calamity with the electric blower and rain. What a scare!! Be safe and enjoy the weekend. The Santa is beautiful! We love it! SAH
All your hard work paid off, Marly--he looks great! And I think the plaid you've found for him coordinates perfectly :)
Enjoy this sunny weekend!
Your Santa looks great! I love the color palette that you worked up with the dark background. You really have that artist's eye when it comes to details of stitching!
That whole thing about estrogen loss is depressing! Sometimes I am taken aback with what I see these days!! LOL!!!
Love the santa!!
Your plaid shorts fabric is a great match to that fabric, no matter what finish you decide to do! Santa looks great, as does his sack! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!
