Snow Cute!


cross-stitch of two snowmen and the words snow cool to see you























A wintry stitch to cope with the intense August heat! This is from a freebie in the Durene Jones Facebook group. Thank you, Durene, for all your generosity and sweet designs. I LOVED stitching these cool dudes! I used DMC B5200, 310, 741, 991, 992, 3607, and 3706, and added the words with an Emma Congdon font from the August 2020 issue of CrossStitcher magazine. Snowflake-filled background by Canva.
