As you know I am a big fan of split designs so for my homework assignment we had to create something using the things taught to us in class so I did my own Split Santa & I am really very proud of it. My instructor said that I should have created a more 3D leaf effect & he was right about that. He also said I should have made the moustache with a satin stitch but he was wrong about that. I tried it with the satin stitch & I personally did not like it that way so I chose a weave fill instead. I hope that you like my finished result. I do My assignment was handed in @ the beginning of July, & the font used here is the Aka Dora font that he showed us. I used fleece fabric for the appliqued white & quilted red for the hat I am thinking of adding a pom pom to his hat out of wool

Thank you all so very much cuties. I will post it in DBC if you would like it. I do have to see about instructions but it is pretty basic. Hugs & ** Loralye

It looks fantastic, Loralye! Trevor would be a great tutor. I used to read newsletters from him and they gave so much info about their family and what they were doing.

It stitched out lovely for you. Great job on the lesson.

Que hermoso diseño, puedes compartirlo con todos en formato pes, tamaño 4x4?

Well done it looks great. Will you be sharing Santa by any chance? the grands would love it.

opps I then read you did this design oh well they are at JUJU

by pldc 28 Aug 2013

I have not seen hers? I did this myself a couple of months ago & I have submitted @ the beginning of July on my own.

by pldc edited 28 Aug 2013

Wow hers sure is close to mine! But hers is definitely different & I'm sure will sew differently too. She has some really cute ones there too. Good thing you pointed it out because I was going to try a snowman too.

Love this. I have been trying to come up with ideas for Xmas stockings for the grandkids and this would work on some of them.

Welcome to our cute family! & Thank you I wanted to make something personal for each of my grands as they are moving away. I thought this would work well too. hugs & **

Nicely done!!! He is just adorable! Love the fact that you used fleece for the white in his hat and beard...and red quilted for the main part of his hat...I think you should post in DBC for all to enjoy! You should be very proud of this my friend...very nice!
