Mr. Snow SAL Block 11 With a Corncob Pipe

"With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal..." - Frosty the Snowman

Good morning, Sweet Snow Friends and a very lovely Winter Thursday to you. Today's Mr. Snow block features the jolly old fella wearing a flat brimmed hat which is covered with snow and a spiffy snowflake scarf.  It is called "With  a Corncob Pipe" . 

Mr. Snow is busy smoking his pipe on this cold winter day. Doesn't he know that he could melt?  He is living dangerously that is for sure. 

 I colored Mr. Snow's hat and his scarf using the white and red crayons. I also gave him a little rosy cheek using the red crayon. 

 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, Block 10 Snow For Sale

 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. 

One more block to go and then I will be ready to piece these blocks into a quilt.  I can not wait for you to see the final block. I just love it!  

Well , Sweeties, I am off to plan an adventure. Yes, Mr. Pinker and I are still camping.   Thank you for dropping by and taking time to see Mr. Snow . Have a beautiful day and ...

As always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all
