Mikolaj

This came about from a book I found with Santas in it from around the world. My first thought was to do them all....then i came to my senses and just did the one for Poland, since I am half Polish. Had they had one from Lithuania (my other half), I would have done that one, too. The patterns are actually for stained glass.

He is 12x20. Mikolaj is St. Nicholas in Polish. I did the label with my embroidery machine.

Mikolaj came to the children on St. Nicholas' Day, December 6. this is how he looked in 1909.
