Carrotsicle

Another Friday finish, Yay!!!!!



"Carrotsicle" by Praiseworthy Stitches

Oh! Do the buttons look o.k. or should I stitch snowflakes???

I am really not sure how it looks,

so I would love your wonderful stitching opinions

I plan on finishing it as a pillow

Thanks so much for all your comments.

He's cute. I think I'd stitch snowflakes, the buttons seem to dominate the design a little to me

Cute, cute finish. I like the buttons -- think it adds a little whimsy to the piece.

So cute!! I like the buttons but think snowflakes would look good too.

He is cute...sorry, I think the buttons over power his face

Hmmm...he is so sweet and bright and pretty...either way it will be wonderful, Ranae! I kind of prefer the buttons...

Carol said...

What a cutie! I like the buttons, Ranae--I think they would look great on a pillow finish, too.

Margaret said...

Great finish! I think snowflakes or buttons would be fine.

I think the buttons are a little distracting. I would go with snowflakes. Maybe snowflakes with a little blending filament sparkle.

Oh by the way ---- VERY cute project. I hit send before I got to finish saying what I wanted to.

What a cutie! The buttons are clever. Maybe smaller ones wouldn't make it look weighted on that side. But a cutie-patudie for sure!

Pumpkin said...

ROFL! I've never seen this pattern before. He's cute! What about snowflake buttons if you're unsure?

Belinda said...

What a sweet snowman, I think the buttons will look great when he's turned into a pillow.

What a cute design; great job hun; I think I would stitch the snowflakes. The buttons seem a little over whelming to me.

Hugs, Shar

I think the buttons are great; especially if you are making it into a pillow!!!

Don't forget about the Sunday after the super bowl stitching at Inspired Needle! I hope you can make it!!! Let me know if you need any more information, etc.

What a cute design! I like the buttons, but maybe smaller ones since these are a bit overwhelming?

Melanie said...

Super cute!!
I have a 'thing' for collecting wee buttons so I like them but some simple snowflakes would definitely look great too. :)

Cindy said...

Very cute! I like the buttons. Maybe you could use some sparkly Kreinik (if it fits through the holes) and stitch some little "spokes" from the button holes to the edge of each one?

JessB said...

He is a very cute snowman. Maybe you should do a couple snowflakes and a couple of buttons?

Julie said...

I like the buttons!

Robin said...

What a cute design and it will be perfect finished as a pillow!

I always struggle with embellishment decisons so I'm of no help. :(

TammyK said...

I like the buttons especially if finished as a pillow :) Great job Ranae!

Lainey said...

He;s adorable Ranae! I would just go for smaller buttons.

Annette said...

Congratz on the beautifull piece, It;s so cute!!!

Very cute piece. I think snowflakes would go with the piece better.

Brigitte said...

Oh my, how sweet. And I love the buttons.

Lucy said...

I'm button gal myself!

I like him - I think if you made a pillow that had buttons in the corners or something that may "tone" them down...but I do like the buttons.
