A very Happy Thursday to you, dear friends.
Have you finished decorating your house for the holidays? I am still tweaking displays here and there. Today I will be working on cleaning the grandbabies' toy room and adding a small tree.
I just wanted to pop in to share Block 6 called "Snow Quilter" in the Mr. Snow Embroidery SAL . Mr. Snow has created a snow ball quilt. He is quite proud of his quilt as he should be!
I colored Mr. Snow 's jacket ,ear muffs and the border of the quilt with a white and red crayon. The scarf has random stitches stitched here and there.
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

| Mr. Snow 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" .

ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Diann. He was such a delightful fellow to work on this week. I enjoyed working on the little snowman quilt especially. Hope your week is off to a lovely start. Hugs.
DeleteOh my goodness, how sweet is this quilt wearing fellow! I don't know how you think up these cute things, Melisa. All your blocks are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jocelyn. I just adore snowmen. I think they are some of my favorite little characters to create and stitch. Wishing you a lovely week. Hugs.
DeleteYou are so talented, your creations are amazing! By the way, when do you sleep? lol!
ReplyDeleteLol thank you so much, Gail. I wish I didn't have to do that "old sleep thing" . Hee! Hee! It has been a joy to share and create these new little snowmen. The embroidery work is so relaxing for me. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteOh goodness Melisa, I love Mr Snow and his quilt! Such a fabulous idea. 👍🙋♀️👋🤗😘❤️xx Barbara @flashinscissors.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Barbara. I couldn't resist having him make a Snowball quilt. Lol. Happy quilting and stitching. Hugs.
DeleteOh, this great! Mr. Snow is a quilter!
ReplyDeleteOops! I didn't mean to send yet. Or, is Mr. Snow just the owner of the quilt? Either way, this is a very cute stitch! Thank you! Have to mention that I love your red oil lamp! I have several and use them often, especially in the winter. I have not done any decorating except to bring the tree upstairs. The box is sitting in the livingroom. All of this will change this weekend! We will get busy with the decorating. It has warmed up and all the snow is gone outside, too.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear Ginny. Mr. Snow had to have his own quilt for the season. Hee! Hee! That little oil lamp was my great aunt's and is old. I found another one like it last year in NC and had to get it. We love using oil lamps too especially when the electricity goes off. I hope you had a wonderful weekend decking the halls. It is such a fun time of the year, but very busy isn't it? Hugs.
DeleteMr. Snowball quilt is way cute! You have the best visions!!!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so very much, dear Terry. I have a lot of fun creating and stitching snowmen. It is a joyous time of the year. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteOh, my goodness! This guy and his quilt are soooo cute! I can't wait till I finish a few other projects so I can get to this one. I hope to make Christmas/winter quilt wallhangings for each of my six adult kids for next Christmas and I think some of your snowmen will be used for this project. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun, Kim. You are going to be busy this next year , but what a delight it will be to create quilts for your children. Thank you so much for considering using some of these little fellows. I hope you enjoy them. Hugs.
DeleteAnother cutie, Melisa! And yes--it sure looks like a lot of stitching went into this block. I'm always amazed at how you find time to do so much--especially at this time of year. Can you send me some of your energy--ha ha :) Have a wonderful weekend ♥
ReplyDeleteLol thank you so much, Carol. My spurts of energy comes in spurts. Hee! Hee! But I am glad to get what I can completed. I am having a blast working on this little snowman embroideries. It is very relaxing. Hope you have a fabulous week. Hugs.
DeleteOh, thank you, Melisa!! Somehow I had missed this one and she is just lovely!!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Brenda. It was the most labor intensive block , but a fun one. Merry Christmas . Hugs.
