This one is "Hula Lulu" - I made it into a flatfold (although from this angle it looks like it could be a cube!) for a friend that we play bingo with every week. She decorates like CRAZY for Christmas, and her hubby is from Hawaii. So, I was trying to combine both of their personalities. I couldn't find a Christmas fabric that had that turquoise color in it, so I ended up with kind of a turquoise on turquoise floral. Not very Christmassy, but I think it will work!
This is my attempt at a creative finish - you can't really tell from the picture, but I made it into a "triptych" if you will (forgive my spelling! LOL). The three are connected by two ribbons (You can kind of see it between the snowmen) and then they're backed like you would a flatfold. The fabric I backed them with is kind of a royal blue with white snowflakes. This one is a hostess gift for my brother and sister-in-law who are having us over on Christmas. Now the only remaining stitchy stuff I need to do is attach some beads onto my perforated paper ornaments and back them up with self stick felt. I need to get two of them done today so that Mike can mail them off tomorrow (pays to have a boyfriend who works in the mailroom at his company - saves me a trip to the post office!) The other six don't have to be finished until Christmas day! Hopefully I won't wait that long!
Thanks for checking it out!

The snow men look great, like how you finished. There is a name a want to call that but it is slipping my mind, very creative.
Great finishes!
Fantastic finishes
Love your finishes - so cute!
Very pretty finishes Kathy!
These are sooooo adorable!
Kathy,
Your finishes for both projects are amazing! I know that they will be enjoyed for years to come!
Happy holidays!
Really nice finishes, I especially like the way you finished the snowmen.
These are both adorable - would love these patterns, could you tell me who designs them or their names? Great work!
Very nice finishes! I can't believe you are giving them that for hosting Christmas. I would have Christmas every year if someone would make that for me!!!!
Love the way you finished your snowmen.

Your snowmen are so cute, but I have a soft spot for the snowman trio.
Merry Christmas & Happy Stitching
I love snowmen and think you did a wonderful job in finishing these projects. I have the snowman trio and can't wait to start it. Good luck on your next project!
Adorable finishes. I love the way you completed your trio. I still need to get this pattern onto my wish list thanks to you and Rene!!

I love the snowmen! They are quickly approaching the top of my wish list because I love the colors and whimsey of the design. :) Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you a very stitchy 2010!!!
