Snowdrift Table Runner - Snowflake #2

A snowstorm is brewing!  

Snowflake trivia -
The smallest snowflakes are called Diamond Dust crystals. They might be as small as the diameter of a human hair.
I'm very glad my snowflakes are larger than that!

Snowflake #2

Using simple stitches, adding buttons, and beads, this a pretty quick snowflake to stitch up.
The first step is to whip stitch the small circle to the medium circle using the Sulky 12wt thread.
  Then embroider these two before stitching them onto the large circle.  

If you look closely at my snowflake it's pretty obvious that my stitches are not uniform and that's perfectly OK!  Nothing in nature is perfect so my stitching isn't either.  There isn't a need to trace the design.  These are simple enough to eyeball.  If you feel you need a little help, you can use a Pilot FriXion pen which will disappear with the heat of an iron or another type of temporary marking tool.

Do you have extra wool?  So do I!  I'm playing around with different ways to stitch it up and I'll be sharing those designs in the upcoming weeks.  Hang onto that wool!
