Mr. Snow SAL Block 2 Winter Friends

 Thursday Salutations , sweet friends. 

 I have been pulling out Christmas decor including my wee collection of camper mugs. I just love these festive caravans. 

Mr. Pinker and I are headed out on a weekend camping trip ourselves. Soon to follow will be my daughter, her family and my nephew ; the boys are competing in their  4th fishing competition.  While they are enjoying time on the lake with Mr. Pinker , I will enjoy my day in the camper stitching away, perhaps on a new snowman block. 

Speaking of snowmen, I am so excited to share the 2nd block for the Mr. Snow SAL- It is called Winter Friends.  

Mr. Snow has his feedsack in hand to feed his feathery friend. Thank you so much, dear Kris for the fabulous idea. 

 This time I color tinted the top of his cap, his jacket and the cardinal.  I also added French knots for the birdseed.  He is as cute as a button in my eyes. 

So far I have shared: 

Block 1 Snowballs

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 backstitch using 2 strands of DMC 498  on most of the design. A stemstitch would look  quite lovely if you prefer.  

4.   I used a French Knot on Mr. Snow's eyes. You do not have to include the French Knot;  you may want to add  teeny beads for eyes . How cute would that be!!!

5. Press and trim to block size 7 1/2 x 10 1/2". If you color tint your blocks, remember to place a paper towel over the tinted area and heat set with the iron.   The finished  block size in the  quilt will by 7" x 10" .

My little doodles are hand drawn so they are never perfect. 

Well I am headed down the road , Sweeties. I am not sure if I will have service in the area we will be camping. If not, I will catch up with you when I get back home. Have a fabulous weekend, just in case I do not get to talk to you. 😘

As always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all
