CHRISTMAS SEW-ALONG PART 2

Here is where I am on the Christmas project for today.
This pattern combines techniques.  The trees, heart & Santa are fused and will have the edges stitched by machine.  The cabin parts are to be hand appliqued on.
I have the strip set made for the cabin though right now it is covered by the freezer paper template I made.  I am going to be working on the hand applique in just a few minutes.  I think I will use wool for the Santa.

Back later.
