HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

Gingerbread Father Christmas by Bethann Scott thestitchfiddler

GINGERBREAD FATHER CHRISTMAS

My wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season are a little later than usual this year. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

As for me I was quite busy "cleaning out my attic" full of things collected over the years and found myself making several trips to the Goodwill and Salvation Army to donate. I didn't plan on all this sorting, after all I had a Gingerbread Father Christmas to finish. But Father Christmas and his sheep waited patiently on the shelf as I took truck loads to the thrift stores. Many of the items were Christmas decorations that I hoped others would enjoy.

Now that Christmas Day has come and gone, I'm now back to sewing and hope to finish Santa Claus and a few other projects.

CHRISTMAS HOPE SANTA CLAUS

Father Christmas is wearing a striped woven wool blend fabric in green, red, tan and blue. Rusty jingle bells embellish the front of his coat. He has a red wool scarf around his neck. He holds a "HOPE" garland strand and comes with a sheep pull toy.
