I made this Primitive little Santa from muslin that I've painted and stained to a grungy finish. His beard, belt, buckle and cuffs are needle felted into place using dyed wool. His face is painted and sanded for an olde, worn look.
Santa is 15 inches tall. His legs and arms have been hand stitched to his body. He's firmly stuffed and sits firmly on his own. I wired a few wild grape vine sticks to his hand and attached moss and a little ginger bread man. I used cloves for his eyes and buttons.
I used a pattern designed by Victoria of Kentucky Primitives.
FINALLY, it's warm enough to start my mornings waking up by sitting on the back deck. The fields are getting planted and I will soon have that beautiful forest of corn in my back yard. It makes a beautiful privacy fence.
About 6 years ago, this was my dad's 80 acre field. He's retired now, but every time I step out the back door, I remember Bean walking, harvesting, planting season and mom bringing lunch out to us.

I got my little American Black Doll finished!
I finally got her finished and listed her on ebay Sunday.
She's a 27 inch tall Patriotic beauty holding her black baby doll and Uncle Sam cane.
I came across this pattern by Peddler Hill Primitives, and instantly fell in love with her.
