Dimensions Patchwork Santa WIP as of 28th September 2012...

[Sandz27]

^^^ progress up to about Feb 18th this year...I then stopped to work on my HAED Coral Addiction (see progress thread here: http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtop ... ilit=coral)

I have picked up Patchwork Santa to work on him again so I can finish him in time for Christmas 2012 & here is where I am at with him now. Back stitch completed (except for little bits in the corners of the border)...just a little bit of the border to do and a little bit of his "fluff" on his coat


Here is what the original looked like:

I decided I didn't like the yellow oval so I missed that out of my design and just repeated the border ...I stitched him a bit like a HAED, 2 over 1 (tiny stitches )

I hope that you like my project & my progress...

It looks great! I like the changes you made to it.

Very pretty & I didn't miss the oval at all (if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that the design had one in it).

You've stitched it very well!

Thanks everyone
It was easy to miss it out because the border just repeats itself so it was easy to work out what was missing where the oval should've been
He's been a lovely project to work on and I've enjoyed every stitch...
Not much to go though now & he'll be done YaY!!!

Only just picked up this thread: it is a fantastic Santa with his multicoloured patchwork coat and your version without the oval looks much better than the original design picture!
