- Correction To Chart!
- Just needed to let you know that I found a problem with the Chilly Willy Stacker symbols on the small (face) section. So let me explain what you need to know to correct your copy of the design.
- 1. Use Black Licorice for the eyes and mouth.
- 2. Use Tea Rose for the cheeks and the first large snowflake.
- 3. Use Carrot for his nose.
- 4. Use Black Licorice for the dark blue French knots symbols and dark blue back stitching.
- Just goes to show that we can have the best intentions but mistakes still happen!!
