This pattern was inspired by the Santa Mug cross stitch pattern found on the Pinker n Punkin Quilting Blog. Melissa has a long history of sharing beautiful and unique cross stitch and quilting patterns for free. The original inspiration is the classic Santa Mug and this version is based on one that I purchased at the Dollar tree.

this design go on the core thread. This
means that you leave the bead on the shuttle and pull it up when
indicated. Needle tatters need to make
sure that the bead fits over the needle and they will add it when indicated) I used beads that are approximately size 6
for the blue and 10 for the red
