Some of these I completed before - I just put them together in a pillow this year. These are Prairie Schoolers annual Santas. Blackbird Designs Gifts for my two stitchy friends in California. Notice I added and quilting below cross stitch. I fully finished this but didn't get a photo of it. This might have been finished last year. Stitched but not framed yet.  I have the frame.  I better get busy. Thanks for lookin
