Christmas is coming
CROSS STITCH PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Barbara Ana Designs

You know that feeling of expectation, bringing back memories of childhood. Christmas is coming, but oh, ever so slowly...

In her signature whimsical style, Barbara Ana translates this long wait into a very poetic piece of needlework:

Santa is coming, but he is riding a snail.

He's dragging not only one, but two trailers.

A whole town, roofs covered with snow, is enjoying the ride, as well a two of Santa's little helpers.

The piece is cross stitched in an interesting mix of acqua blue, rusty red and straw yellow. Quaker motifs fill the background and zig-zag borders frame the picture on either side.
