Cut your 7" background square. 

Cut a 1" wide strip and 

prepare it for the scarf:)

Trace your pieces onto the interfacing.

You may choose to trace your B-13 piece

 with one in reverse like I did for this block...

Or trace them both the same

 like I did for my snowman pillow.

It works both ways!

After sewing...

clip the inside curves 

on the scarf ties like this...

And the cleavage on

 the top of the heart.

Turn...shape...and press!

I show all of these steps in the 

Week One Video

Place the bottom of the snowman 3/4" up from the bottom edge.

Trace your snowman face 

BEFORE

 you place it 1 1/4" down

 from the top edge.

The heart goes in the bottom center oval.

Press the left edge of the scarf under 1/4" and place like this.

You can trim just trim off the other end 

without pressing under

 because the scarf ties will cover it...

Like this:)

Now he's ready for appliqué!

I used all six strands of my

 Aurifloss 

I used a backstitch to embroider the arm, earmuff and carrot nose.

I used a crosstitch for each of his eyes.

I used two of my 

Cute Little Buttons 

for his cute little earmuffs:)

I trimmed up my block to 6 1/2" square and

 made my flying geese and half square triangles.

I used the white sparkle print

 border for this block:)

Meet your new Cozy Snowman!

He almost makes me ready for snow.

I said almost.

Not yet!

I love seeing your blocks on my 

Instagram 

Keep them coming...

 you are doing great!
