I have done this design as well only in a pale tan linen and it turned out beautifully. Would be interested in the colors you chose with the blue background, Also I saw it in a much smaller size but don't know if they re-sized it or if it cam in another size? Any ideas!

I used a lot of gray and cranberry to accent the blue.

You gals are so nice! Thank you for all the wonderful comments. For those of you who can't find the design, just Google Dashing Through the Snow by OESD. And please know that this wall hanging is not hard at all. Only 4 of the blocks are stitch intensive. The rest sew out quickly. I did all of them in 3 days. The last stitch that sews on each block is the cutting line. Make sure you make it a little darker than you fabric so you can see it. I hooped Cut Away. Then I laid down my 6x8 piece of fabric and did that last cutting stitch first so it would tack down my fabric. You waste less material that way, and it sewed out really nice. I also did the cutting stitch at the end again. If you are using blue fabric, do the face flesh color twice or they will look like they are dying! I changed the colors to my own liking. I found the black sashing material at JoAnn's and did that instead of the separate sashings with the embroidered snowflakes. Saved me a ton of time and I thought it suited the color. Added hot fix crystals here and there on the sashing, and tiny ones in the tree branches.
Good luck to those who are going to try it. I'll be glad to answer any questions for you.

corinney by corinney 27 Oct 2013

I bought mine on E Bay at Radiant Threads. They had 3 and I bought the last one. BUT that doesn't mean that they don't have some more for sale right now. Check it out. Also just type in "Dashing through the snow" embroidery design and see what comes up. I was looking for the cheapest price and I got it that way. OESD sells it, but it was a lot more money. Good Luck! :0)

It's very pretty!!!! The one I have calls for some kind of silk, I can't think of the name of it right now. So it works alright on cotton then????? I know it would be cheaper, one reason I haven't tried mine yet. Do you know how long it took to do this? It looks really nice!!!!!

Duponi & it is very pricey! I think that this looks very much the same as the first one so I can't see why you can't use cotton? I have this set too but was waiting to sew it out. maybe Gloria can tell us if there is a noticeable difference between the two?

gloriajstitcher by gloriajstitcher 25 Oct 2013

I did it in 3 days. Used Cut Away light and had no problem. There are only four blocks that are stitch intensive so the other blocks sew very quickly. I changed the colors to suit myself. One hint for you....if you are doing it on blue, do the face color twice. Without 2 layers of the flesh color, they looked like they were sick! I also left out the borders with the snowflake designs as I found this black with swirls and starbursts at JoAnn's. Saved soooo much time. Then added hot fix crystals scattered on the border and the tree branches. Wasn't hard to do at all.

gloriajstitcher by gloriajstitcher 26 Oct 2013

I didn't use Duponi at all. The first one was done on a satin polyester from JoAnns. They both sewed out well. I used Perfect Stick on the satin, though my friend used cutaway and it was fine.
