I embroidered SNOW DAY on a 10 1/2" white fabric using 2 strands of black floss using the backstitch. I then trimmed my block to 8 1/2" . Last week's post explains a little more about this SAL if you missed it.
If you would like to embroider SNOW DAY , grab the image below.
Many of you know that I am no longer able to create clickable links to jpg downloads. Here is a little note about that situation. . This explains about getting the charts or doodles as well.
Last week I shared with you BLOCK 1 which was called " WINTER WELCOME". If you missed it, click on the colored text and you will be whisped back to that post.
Now I have one more thing to share with you today- a quick stitch called "LET IT SNOW" . This won't take no more than 30 minutes to stitch up and would be super cute as a dough bowl filler, but I have decided to make mine into a little quilt. I will add some snowflake buttons to embellish it.
This is a choose your own color stitch. I used DMC 930 and white. So if you would like to stitch LET IT SNOW, you know the drill as my daughter would say. Just grab that image below and go to town stitching. 😀🤗🧵 How's that sound? Good I think.
Well , sweetie pies. I am off to stitch. I am trying to stay 1 week ahead of you . I will give you a hint on the next block Mr. Flake is going for a ride.
Have a warm and cozy day
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Both are darling, Melisa! Thank you!

Oh that just warms my heart to hear, Ulrike. I hope you enjoyed them. The Have Yourself a Merry Christmas would look so darling as a card. Thank you so much, my dear. Your kindness means so much.
DeleteThank you sweet friend for sharing your awesome designs with us. I adore your sweet snowman! Blessings always ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteAaah you are the sweetest, dear . Thank you so much for bringing a smile to my day.
DeleteSnow Day is adorable, very much as I remember as a child in Illinois. So cute, I think that I am going to do these in a winter blue. How was your trip and relaxing time? Stitch everything you love. Warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteOh , Mary, these would look so pretty in blue. I am going to have to stitch some in blue in the future . We had a very relaxing trip. I took along my sewing machine and spent most of the days sewing as hubby hunted. It was heavenly. Lol. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteAnother wonderful embroidery! This new series is so fun! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Ginny. I am having so much fun creating and stitching these little guys. I am so thrilled that you like them. Big hugs.
DeleteReally cute, Melisa! Looking forward to the next block!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, dear Brenda. I am having a ball stitching them. I can not wait to piece them into a quilt. Have a great weekend. It supposed to be rainy here. I do not know if ya'll will be getting the rain as well or not.
DeleteHi Melissa, I love these snowman blocks you are sharing! I have a very stupid question for you about how to transfer the designs onto my fabric. It has been decades since I have done any embroidery (I usually stick to cross stitch). To transfer the image, should I reverse the image, print it out, and heat set/press the design on the fabric or ? I am clueless on this lol 🙂 Thank you!! Laura
ReplyDeleteThat is a great question Laura. Thank you so much for asking. I just sorta fly by the seat of my pants on it but I just print it out and center my fabric over the design . I can usually see through the fabric, but if not I hold the pattern up against a window and place the fabric over it and then trace it with an embroidery transfer pen or pencil or sometimes I just use a regular pencil tracing very lightly. I hope this helps a bit and I truly hope you enjoy. Thank you again , my dear. Happy stitching.
DeleteYour snowmen blocks are so sweet and beautiful, and I love the Let it snow pattern!
ReplyDeleteYou are always so kind and supportive, Diana. Thank you so much. It has been hard for me to put down the snowmen embroidery blocks. I am having so much fun working on them. Have a great evening , dear.
DeleteAgain, another very cute snowman. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteAaaah thank you so much for the sweet visit and kind compliment, Kim. I am having a ball working on these blocks.
