Your Vote Counts......On My Finish!

Calling ALL Stitching Friends...

I am having a hard time deciding on which fabric to use to finish my Lizzie Kate Snowman '10.
My intention is to sew it into a pillow with the fabric running down both sides and add a hanger.  I think he will look adorable hanging on a door knob or maybe a cabinet.

SO... 
Since I can't decide on which fabric to use you get to decide for me.  Please vote in the sidebar poll.  Majority wins and finishing will take place on Sunday. 

Thank you so much for helping me out.  I finished stitching this snowman over a week ago.  Usually I have a clear vision of how I want to finish a piece.  I'm not sure why this one has been so difficult to decide on.

A Finish & A Prayer

Dear God,

Whomever you put in charge of the "snow" button please tell them it's not funny anymore!

Amen

Today was another day spent inside watching it snow.  No school today (or tomorrow) so I busied myself finishing these cutie patooties.  I've had this pattern and buttons for several years but never found the time to stitch it.  Last weekend I headed to Hueston Woods State Park for a retreat.  I started this design while I was there and finished it today.

Thanks to my dear friend Beth for suggesting the tool for cutting styrofoam.  It took a little trial and error but I think it turn out well.  The tool I am referring to is called a styro cutter plus.  If you like to do cube finishing its a great tool to have.

Now.....more about the retreat at Hueston Woods.  It was hosted by the lovely Barb from Keepsakes in Cincinnati.  I got to stitch, catch up with old friends, make new friends and increase my stash substantially.  I'm already planning for next year. 

I was so busy having fun that I forgot to take any pictures but you can see some at Jenny's and Marsha's.

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my finish.  I appreciate you spending part of your busy day with me.  Your comments keep me motivated to do what I love.....stitch :-)

Now..............what will I get myself into tomorrow?

Keep on stitchin' on,

Nan
