Yay!!!!!!

And my fabrics are being shipped tomorrow so maybe by the weekend I will have them I can't wait to see them!! And to show them off!!!

Now that I've decided which fabric to use, I really want to start it. But I'm also trying to get ready for my trip Thursday so I don't know if this is the best time to start (plus...where the heck did all my white floss go????). We'll see...it is definitely calling to me!

I can't wait to see what fabric you go with.

This is going to be fun to see all of the different fabrics and how everyone tackles this.

Debby I still think that yellow with snowmen is just wrong.......

Hope you can start it sooner rather than later Debby, it is going to be awesome on the yellow.

Have a great trip.

Not the amount of time that I thought I would have but I am inching along. Maybe next time in it's rotation I can get better progress!!!!!!

Looking great Rose nad you are making progress.

Great update, Rose---I really love your snowflakes!!

Here is my update---I'm finally caught up---finished the 4th snowman yesterday

Love seeing this both here and on FB!!!!!!!!

They are all so cute and fun!!! Great job of stitching ladies!!

Carole

Yay my fabrics arrived today!!

Ok time for opinions:

Blue 18 ct aida or Sparkly 28 ct Lugana White with Metallic Silver?

Nice fabric choices Brekkana---I would likely opt for the 18 count blue--and use white or metallic for the snowflakes, but either fabric will look amazing!!! I just don't think I could stitch snowmen all that easily on the white

Oh love that silver sparkle fabric but the blue is beautiful as well!!!!!! No help here maybe close your eyes and choose??????

I am really leaning to the sparkle ... I just know it will look amazing on it!

Fabulous update Karen, they are gorgeous. Brekkana, I would do it on the blue I think, although it would look really well on either.

Great updates all.

I favour the blue too....I can see why you like the Sparkles though! I just hate stitching white on white!

Perhaps you could have coloured snowmen!!

Just love the snowmen. Well done. Looking good

I once had to choose between 3 different charts for a new HAED chart. I had 3 Randall Springer Christmas Kitty themed charts. I put the names of each chart on a piece of paper and folded each paper and left them on the table for one of the cats to knock one over. First one swatted to the floor was "O Kitten Tree". When in doubt, I let the cats choose.
