Snowbound March Block
The block that almost wasn't! My background is directional - I knew that, I reminded myself numerous times, I was certain I wouldn't forget, I forgot - my background is upside down! I use swarvorski heat set crystals for the eyes and mouth, at times I've considered using a press cloth when applying them - I should have - I scorched my snowman's face with my applicator wand. I scrubbed and scrubbed but there are still faint scorch marks on his face. I back baste my blocks before needle turning so I use crayola washable markers to trace the design - warning, orange is very difficult to get out! fortunately, after scrubbing and rinsing the marks finally disappeared.
