Latern Santa

Lantern Santa. This pattern is in the 2011 JCS Ornament issue.
Page 52. Pattern by Sue Hillis. I did tweak the pattern a bit.
I did not outline the piece, I liked the simplicity of this look.
This was done for a santa exchange. I added mill hill beads
to the lantern and it really stands out and looks like a real
lantern. The fabric on the back is the fabric you see. The
stars add a nice touch.

I was just looking at this one a few days ago but decided against it because of the backstitching. Yours looks great without it so I will just have to revisit it.
