Very cute!!! Where did you find your snowman panel? It is a panel, isn't it, or am I wrong and you pieced it together?

You did a good job!!!

This is great. In the last 2 weeks I have made 3 of these. I did stitch around the hat, houses, scarf,and down the tree trunks, even the branches. and the pieces on his head plus on the black skinny strip around it. I used red glitter glue on the berries and lightly rubbed glitter glue on the snow and a little more on the snow,and on the houses. I also, on 2 of them I put silver glitter glue on the big snow flakes, but on mine I got big crystal snowflakes I bought from WM. I also stitched on the bird. On the buttons I used floss to criss-cross to look like they were sewn on. I paid only 65 cents for them at WM at the end of last Christmas season. Only thing is I did not know there was fabric to match the buttons but was easy to match. Tomorrow I will sew the Plastic rings on the back to hang.. One of them will go to my Daughter and one to my DIL.Mine will go to My Husbands Medical clinic he manages that I decorate for each holiday. I so enjoyed doing them and dressing them up. I am happy with them. Will you put any thing on yours? You did a great job. Sorry to bother you. The girls will get theirs on Thanksgiving day when they all come from NC and FLA. Happy sewing!!

I hope you will be able to do different things to these easy made panels. You are so lucky to have so many. I wish I had bought more. I ended up buying over 50 yds. of clearance Xmas fabrics and paid very little.[most of it was 65 cents a yard] That was a good day. I also make fabric braided wreaths to sell. Have fun doing the rest!!

I live in a very small town that has no fabric or sewing notions in it. Where do you find all those good bargains on fabric? If I know maybe I can find a store in a another town not too far away.
