I just watched Sewing with Nancy this morning & she said to use iron on pellon 1st & then use the wonder under for thin or white fabric.

I saw Nancy's show too. I'm also thinking of using white flannel--it will be thicker and give the snowmen a little texture.

You could make papa beside you a quilt. Man it is really cold where you live so I bet he would love it.

Anybody out there downloaded and kept January? I did but my computer where I store all my downloads has crashed and I think I may not get it back! Is there any chance that anyone could send me the PDF please?

I'm going to UK next week and was planning on buying my background fabric there ready to get started, bit late but, hey ho!
