Thanks! I did tie the Valentine wallhanging in this picture with embroidery floss. It was much easier than yarn, to thread the needle and to pull through and tie, and I used a double layer of batting to make it puffier as well, though I'm still not convinced I'll do much tying in the future, at...
Thanks! He doesn't know it yet, but he has another small surprise coming to match his table topper. Shhhhh!
