Spinning a Kris Kringle

Now I have finished my christmas cards 

and they are all on there way around the world .

It then came time to think about what to do 

for our Christmas lunch yesterday 

(for the spinning wheel group that i meet with on Thursdays )

We had to bring a Kris Kringle present.

As my spinning is still in the learning stage I though 

what was I going to make for the present .

And then I had a thought that I would buy a glass jar and 

etch it with the spinning wheel and fill with lollies.

Then I thought I know I will do an 

embroidered towel. Now I had to take my design that 

I had drawn in Make the Cut and into my 

embroidery software and convert it to a 

stitch file ( added more to the embroidery file like 

the wool)

And here is what i came up with .

(all the spinning wheel embroidery paterns I had seen 

on the net were not what i wanted it to look like )

 And here is what it looked like in the box
