Frosty McChill QAL- Block Number 6 "Learning to Ski"

 Brrr! Baby, it's cold out there. How is the weather in your neck of the woods? The weather is certainly a lot different compared to last week.   

Welcome , ya'll. It is time for another embroidery Thursday.

        

A few weeks ago Mr. Pinker and I went on a camping trip and and stayed at Fort Massac in lovely Metropolis , Illinois- home of Superman.

         

 Hubby and I of course had to go see Superman located downtown by the courthouse. 

         

We also took some time to  stroll along the streets which were getting their winter adornments.

Simple but cute little wooden snowmen-

 Wouldn't these be cute to make .All you need is a bit of wood and some paint and then you could go to town. 

                      

Today's Frosty's block is called "Learning to Ski". 

        

Frosty looks exactly like I did on my 1st attempt to learn to ski. I just could not get the hang of it, but Frosty will be skiing like a pro in no time. It should be in his icy blood ; shouldn't it? 

 Little Rae Rae is not even going to attempt learning to ski and is quite content resting on Frosty's arm. 

Blocks shared so far are " Let it Snow"  and " Sled Time  " and ...

The Tree March  and "Just a Sweeping!!!" 

" Chasing Snowflakes" and " Learning to Ski "

INSTRUCTION TIME !   Now remember , I am no expert, but am just sharing how I embroider mine. Please prepare your fabric, embroider in whatever manner that  makes you happy. The number one rule is to always have FUN FUN FUN!!!  

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut your fabric to 8 1/2 "x 11 1/2" . This will  be trimmed later.  

2.  Place the pattern between a light box or a window and center the design as best as possible. Trace the design onto your fabric using your favorite transfer fabric pen or pencil . 

3. Embroider the design .  I used a back stitch using 2 strands of DMC 498  on most of the design. A stem stitch would look  quite lovely if you prefer.  I used 1 strand of 498 for the details in the snowman's face.   

4. On the snowflakes , I used a French Knot at the end of 4 of the points . You do not have to include the French Knot or you may want to add a teeny bead at each point . How cute would that be!!!

5. Press and trim to block size 7 1/2 x 10 1/2".
