Basketball Santa





I just love when a Squigger..( that is what I call a loyal Squigger Buyer) completes a piece and sends me pictures....this round two sided Santa, is a gift for a coach of a girls basketball team....
The stitcher Margaret Travis , lives in Oklahoma, a busy working mother with two lively children.... Margaret has done numerous Squiggee canvases....she always adds her special touch to any project...you give her a painted canvas and she runs with it....I especially love her treatment of his hair and beard...it makes his basketball outfit stand out..and of course you can't help but smile...the basket ball on his back sports all the girls names on the team...a great way to combine the two and have all the elements that make it so personal...and of course Margaret is such a great stitcher, it is a pleasure to have her work a Squiggee design...who wouldn't be thrilled to get such a one of a kind gift, stitched with love...that is what makes needlepoint so unique...the fun of the project .....
Attention all Squiggers......Squiggee sends..xoxoxoxoxoxox

That is just tooooo cute!! My mind is already working for other projects. What would you do with Irish Dancing? That's really big here with the kids - Madeline was active in it.
