    This is a work in progress that I started this afternoon. I wanted to post a few pictures. I also need some advice. All the pieces are fused down. I plan on doing a blanket stitch around the outsides of the snowmen, but what, if anything, would you suggest I do around the eyes, nose, arms, and mouth. To give a size, the eyes are the size of a pencil eraser.

    Thanks-

    Sheila

    It's adorable. Maybe puffy paint around the eyes? It's washable, and would give them a bit of a sheen.

    oooh you beat me to it... I have been copying the rows and hope to start on them by September... I have so many other things on the go...

    You could use black beads for the eyes. They are snowmen so I reckon you could go wild with the embelishments.

    Hoping to catch up with you. ciao

    I figured if I start now I might be finished by Christmas. We will see. Would love to have anyone else working on this to post here also.
