Santa Pail

Here is the last of three fabric pail designs I have made, all from Farmhouse Creations (the other two being the Snowman Pail and the Angel Pail).  The outer pail fabric was layered onto batting and the fused appliqué stitched with a machine blanket stitch.  French knots were added for the eyes and the cheeks were blushed with powder blusher.   A jingle bell was added to the tip of his hat.  These patterns are out of print but you can often find them on Ebay.  This pail makes a great container for home baked goodies at Christmas.
