As you can see, the top of the blog has a wonderful picture that the White House sent me of the White House Express Sleigh that served as the Kissing Ball in the Grand Foyer of the White House in Christmas 1997 during the Clinton years.
I even received a very complementary thank note from Mrs. Clinton
It started with an empty gold sleigh made of wood , and I designed a two sided Santa , two needlepoint sides for the sleigh and three reindeer..the head reindeer if you notice was sporting the American Flag and I designed a variety of toys , all two sided for the sleigh...a small white House, Raggedy Ann and Andy, a block, small tree, a Santa flag, a sax for Clinton, a teddy bear and fire engine...the funny part was I only had to do half a Santa..because his legs were hidden in he Sleigh...lol

I designed a separate Banner naming the sleigh... The White House Express......
Mr. Squiggee has more pictures of some of the toys on his blog...you will find a link to his blog on the right side of this page...
It's a big undertaking stitching all these little elements, and many stitchers worked on the models...
I did all the designing and painting....and enjoyed every minute...fun to be so honored to have your creation hung in such a special House ....
