Peg's Santa Had Dandruff

Melita is stitching Peg Dunayer's Triangle Santa Ornament from the November-December 2007 Needlepoint Now magazine as a stash buster project.  She's run into a thread coverage problem but solved it very cleverly.

Peg's website is currently down as Peg moves it to a new home, but keep checking back for more delights from her clever mind.  It's definitely worth a visit!

Sadly, the issue of NP Now that Peg's clever Santa instructions are in is no longer available for purchase from the magazine, but there's always eBay!

Here is the After photo.  Amazing what a few thread, stitch and color changes will do!  Click on the photo for a better look.

If you love architectural detail on your canvases, you will love seeing Anne' entire line of "Doorway to the Past" canvases.
