How to Build a Snowman

A friend recently showed us 

an adorable snowman she made with her embroidery machine

It is called free standing lace.

I thought I would give it a try.

After all, I haven't done a whole lot with my new Bernina 770QE

Why start with something easy??

Let's just dive right in!!

I started with the hat.

I figured if that's all I ended up with,

 I could at least set it on a doily 

and

say the rest of him melted!!

The panels for each section took quite some time...

How do you get a nice pointy nose??

 By sticking it in the pencil sharpener!!

Thankfully it all worked out!!

He had gone to his new home for Christmas!!

I know he is loved!
