Folk Santa Spinner

Santa is flying his reindeer through the air in this whimsical Folk Santa Spinner. Learn to line draw a canvas, pounce background color and then stitch away. Learn realistic shading with basketweave, how to make antlers look like velvet, and easy metallic thread techniques that will really make your ornaments sparkle! A little bit of beading and some specialty stitches make this a fun design. Suggested materials includes 18 mono canvas, beads, silk, wool, cotton and metallic threads to stitch both ornaments, and complete instructions with color illustrations. Designer Summer Louise Truswell has been designing for the needlework market since 2000. Over 45 designs in leaflets and books travel the range from fun and whimsical to elegant and traditional. This design was premiered and taught at American Needlepoint Guild's National Seminar in Milwaukee.
