On #18 couint, these tumbling Santas never have to take Aleeve! They just roust-about all year long, year in and year out, never tiring like the rest of us! And they look fabulous with any color dark background -- green, black, navy. A perennial favorite.

|
These seasonal geese are a set of 4, coasters, ornaments, bell pull or pillow inserts, on #18. Visualize their breasts stitched in a feathery pattern with some kind of subtle overdyed thread; their bodies in a similar stitch in a richer overdye; their feet and neck/face in a black metallic and the frame in a combo of color appropo threads.

EMBROIDERY SCISSORS W/THIN CURVED BLADE |

For projects on little bity canvas count, stitched in fine threads, these scissors enable you to make corrections (what? you made a boo-boo?) without fear of damaging the thread or erroneously including the fine canvas in your snip. Patented "Ring-Lock" System garantees smoother, accurate cutting and longer life expectancy for the curved blade. And here's a novel concept: they're Italian manufactured!

FLAMINGO - CHAPEAU & BOA |
|
This is a series of 6 which come on both #18 count (4" x 4") and #13 (5" x 5"). And each grande dame is sassier than her companion in terms of baubles and bangles, not to mention drapes and chapeaux. These gals make Auntie Mame appear tame! Imagine their boas in Threadworx's Legacy Collection, a hairy, cellophane thread in Electric Blue(623), Blue Velvet(628),or Black Widow(629). and their bodies can be draped in an overdyed thread of either wool or metallic or both. And who doesn't like an array of rings on one's appendages? If you can think of it, they would love all the glitter you can give them!

|
FLYING GOOSE |
|
If you are a "Shelly" diva you will adore this vintage piece because the image of old Santa hopping a ride on the nearest flying goose inspires a stomach-wrenching chuckle. How typically Shelly! Great opportunity to stitch directional interlocking gobelin with overdyed pearl or floss to make the goose appear more realistic than just a taxi. (Or you could use taxi-cab yellow!)

And there are some great Halloween prints and silks out there that can make this finished project spooktacular! BTW, visualize this horizontally, not vertically!
