2012 Frankensanta
(With thanks to Anna for the name!)
I stitched this on a 32-ct. opalescent hand-dyed fabric, and substituted a lot of the flosses. I also didn't do much (any?) of the backstitching - with the blue fabric instead of the natural linen used in the model, it didn't seem necessary. I backed it with some beige checked fabric with snowflakes, and used DMC for the twisted cording. I "signed" it with my little "heart, MOM" and the date, because it will be added to my daughter's annual ornament collection. At 5 inches tall it is still a little bigger than most ornaments I make, but it should look okay on a full-size tree.
