She is a joy :) You can tell by her designs, as they are full of joy! Okay, here's my pictures.   Getting "Sir Frosty" pinned to the background I've got the aspen trees placed, and the scarf and hat. I cut the bottom scarf piece wrong, but I figure the wind is blowing so the scarf can go anywhere it wants to go :)  At the recommendation of Leslie, I used Steam-a-Seam Lite, but I could only get the 9 x 12 sheets, not yardage. I had to divide each tree into 3 sections and make sure I labeled everything properly.  I used a piece of green linen for the background an...
