Well.....with over a foot on the ground as of yesterday........we are now getting that BIG storm (another storm of the century) now. Snow is falling FAST.....they've upped the prediction to 9"-12" inches.....oh goodie.
However, I've been making good use of my time.....preparing kits for upcoming workshops and between nail biting last night watching the Packers WIN!!!...... I finished my newest woolfelt piece.

Next, the excess stabilizer was trimmed from the wrong side.....this step is used to eliminate the possibility of this material peaking out between the layers once the backing is added.

With the backing is in place these two pieces are trimmed square. Hand blanket stitching using 2 strands of embroidery floss will hold the layers together and provide a tidy edge.
