Snow For Sale! Snow For Sale!
Good morning, y'all. Are you interested in some snow? Hee ! Hee! Mr. Snow is quite the entrepreneur, and he has bucket loads of snowballs all shaped and ready for your purchasing pleasure. The 10th block in the Mr. Snow SAL is called "Snow For Sale".
"I will have a bucket or two," Mr. Snow.
I colored the pails , scarf and his hat with the white and red crayons.
So far I have shared:
Block 1 Snowballs, Block 2 Winter Friends, Snow Mitten , Block 4 Waiting for Snow , Block 5 A Jolly Fellow , Block 6 Snow Quilter , Block 7 Snow Cream, Block 8 Decorating the Tree , Block 9 Sleighing
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" .

He is adorable, Melisa! They mentioned the snow word for Saturday. I will believe it when I see it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! Mr. Snow and his bucket of snowballs for sale sure could start a conversation!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThanks for another cute snowman, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteHe sure is a cutie, Melisa! I'm amazed at all the cute snowmen ideas that you come up with. We are hoping for a bit of snow here on Saturday. Had a dusting last night and it looks like someone sifted powdered sugar across the landscape--so lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this cute embrodery!

Mr Snow is a very dapper dude albeit very smart too. Selling snow is genius. Lol 🤪
ReplyDeleteSuch fun blocks. We have snow showers in our forecast for today. I'm really not up for that.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping & praying for some of that 4 letter word. In our area, we need it for the crops. If I took Mr. Snow up on his offerings, I would need to buy truckloads! LOL I hope you are enjoying your camping trip and some warmer weather.
