This is a great pattern! I made 10 of them this year for my kiddos and their cousins. I have two left that I need to finish. I used small googly eyes instead of white felt and black embroidery thread. Turned out great!

Hi
Wonderful tutorial. Hope you are enjoying this “wintery weather.! Tomorrow we have an appointment with the accountant so Allan is going to take me to guess who (Yup JoAnn Fabric) as I need some fleece for my embroidery projects. I now have run out of what I had.
Enjoy the Holidays. Jeanette
