Santa Pattern and Quilt Block

Jolly Old Saint Nick is here with a fluffy white beard and ready to adorn your Christmas stitchery creations. This Santa Claus applique is very cute and can be added to almost any Christmas craft or holiday gift.



Santa Applique Block

Choose velvety fabrics for his beard and his cap for a plush look and a bit of permanent paint to give his cheeks a rosy glow. Use a contrasting color when stitching around his cap trim, beard and mustache, so they'll be noticeable. Use French knots to make his eyes, and you can even add some small embellishments to the tassel end of his cap.

This santa head pattern is just waiting to be appliqued on a stocking or wall hanging. He would also make a cute santa quilt block.
