Sparkle

I signed up for the snowman round of the year long christmas exchange on Hooked on Exchanging. This is what I made for my partner Gwen. Isn't he cute!

DMC floss

Whilst I enjoyed stitching him and I enjoyed finishing him, he hasn't given me the itch to stitch. I didn't enjoy sending him away though. Not at all. I wanted to keep him :-)

I can see why you wanted to keep that cute little guy. He's gorgeous. He's brightening up his new home now with his sparkle. :)

Oh my gosh!!! He is ADORABLE! Great job, Sadie.

Love your pinwheels, too! I have two pinwheel quilts--I love HSTs. Making sure I don't cut off the points--not so much--but I do love HSTs! ;)

So cute! I am making some Christmas ornaments as gifts. I have never finished one before so I am a little cautious about that but you have a lovely example here. I can see why you didn't want to send him away -- he has a name!

I stitched him for my HOE partner. I've got enough floss & linen to make one for myself. Yes, I thought it was an adorable pattern, too!

Sparkle is so cute and adorable! I've never seen this one before. Love it! I can see why it was hard to package him up!
