Our first lesson of the Santa’s Pup Mystery Class is in the books, and oh my, he’s even cuter stitched than on the canvas!
Designed by Margaret King, one of our newest artists to join the Bedecked and Beadazzled family, this festive pup already has our hearts.
We started with the border, combining a large Crossed Stitch in Petite Silk Lamé Braid with Satin Stitch squares for a beautiful play of texture and light. The inner white border adds just the right amount of depth—it’s slightly raised, giving the whole piece a crisp, finished edge even before we’ve stitched the center.

But of course, the real star of the show is the pup himself. He’s beyond adorable—soft, expressive, and full of charm. Basic stitches in Impressions set the foundation, but it’s that delicate Outline Stitch worked in a single ply of Soie d’Alger that truly brings him to life. It’s all in the details!

If you missed the start of class, don’t worry—more canvases will arrive in March. Place a deposit now to reserve your kit and join the fun. You’ll have plenty of time to stitch this darling duo before next Christmas rolls around.
