WELCOME to the CHILLY HOLLOW NEEDLEPOINT ADVENTURE: Janet Z. Casey

As is usual with these cute Santas, you start with the face. I'll update this article as Brenda stitches Santa to bring him to life. If you aren't familiar with Janet Casey's Santas, you can browse them here. Some are available as painted canvases with stitch guides now (I think from Danji) but Brenda is working them as originally designed.
