Comments: This was a fun project. I have pretty much stitched mine just like Anne stitched hers, making just a few changes here and there but nothing drastic. You can see Anne's Santa here and compare the two.
I did my own finishing on this project like I very often do. I wanted this project to be finished like a family portrait just like the ones you put in a frame and put on a desk somewhere in your house. I found just enough of a velour type fabric that had just the right shade of green that I needed and finished the back with it. Once that was done I added a red cording all around the frame and then made the little flap/stand to hold the picture upright that you can see on the back in the photo below..
