I finished this stitching this Winter project just before the first day of Spring last March, so it seemed important to fully finish it just before the first day of Winter!
I had been struggling with just exactly how to finish it, and finally decided to treat it like a little mini quilt with backing and batting, flipped it right sides out and machine stitched all the way around the edge to hold everything together. I don't know if you can tell, but I put a few ties in the corners between the "blocks," too. I happened to have a bit of that striped ribbon for a bow, and it goes well with the hat, mitten, and bowl. Kind of a fun finish for a cold, gray day!
If you missed it earlier this week, I did finish the embroidered hexie tabletopper, too.
So, then - what to stitch on during this Christmas week while waiting for Santa to come? My favorite source of stitching designs and inspiration - Melisa at PinkernPunkin - just happened to share a Santa mini sampler, so I had to start it. You can see a b c d and the top of Santa's hat there. Plenty more to work on for Slow Sunday Stitching!

I had forgotten that you stitched 'Winter'. It really is so adorable and looks great in your display. If I didn't say it before I really like the hexies too;)
Wie wunderbar ist dein Winterbild geworden.
Auch ich habe vergangenen Winter dieses Bild gestickt, aber noch immer liegt es unvollendet im Korb und wartet auf die Fertigstellung.
Wunderschön ist dein neues Tischset geworden. Eine ganz tolle Stick- und Näharbeit.
Einen schönen 4. Advent wünscht dir
Petra
