Mr . Snow SAL Block 5 A Jolly Fellow

 Good morning , Sweet Friends and  a very Happy Thursday to you. After a few days of tech troubles, I am back online ready to catch up on all that has  been going on. 

Can you believe this is the last day of November? It's time to get in full swing with the holiday spirit. 🎄🎅🤶

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  I  have ordered a few things online for the grandbabes . I haven't braved the stores yet. 

Frosty McChill quilt which was  a 2021 SAL.

Today is Embroidery Thursday, and I am so excited to share block 5 in the Mr. Snow SAL. This is a very quick embroidery. 

Mr. Snow looks quite stylish sporting his top hat in this block called A Jolly Fellow.  I colored his band in the hat and the scarf red.  Ever so slightly with the red crayon, I also gave him some color in those icy cheeks . 

There must have been some magic in the old silk hat the found. For when they placed it on his head , he began to dance around....

(Hee! Hee! Do  you think that you will be singing that tune in your head today? I know I will.☃😀☃)

So far I have shared: 

Block 1 Snowballs,    Block 2 Winter Friends,  Snow Mitten ,

Block 4 Waiting for Snow   and  Block 5  A Jolly Fellow

 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" .
