Remember when.......1997. A good year, the end of my first year in business. Pat Thode, a needlepoint artist, ran a company The Artists Collection/Heartstrings, designing her needlepoint Santa designs into cross stitch. She issued 12 Santas, one for each month, in a series called THE SANTA FACTORY (click to view all 12 images). The designs used Mill Hill treasures as accessories, but I never felt that they were actually needed.
Well, cleaning out some boxes, I found this entire series. I have 9 full sets and 1 or 2 of every month except February. I am offering a complete set of 12 for $12.00 (plus shipping, if needed). The original price was $1.50 per card....boy those were the good old days.They vary slightly in size, the largest is 52x88 (3.25x5.5). She calls for a variety of colors in 32ct. Most of the colors are still available or easily substituted. Or you could alter the size of the linen. If you use a larger count linen, making a larger Santa, they could be finished as stand ups or as an easel. Couldn't you see these lined up on a mantel for the holiday?
If you want individual cards, it will be on a first come basis, for $1.00 per card.. Like I said, I have 9 full sets and would like to sell them as a full set. The remaining cards are:
January 2, February 0, March 2, April 2, May 1, June 2, July 2, August 2, September 2, October 1, November 2, December 1.
Give me a call at 610.409.9373 or message me on facebook or email me to reserve your set of individual cards. Just remember, when they are gone, they are gone.
Now, what will I find in my next box?????????
