Good morning, y'all and welcome. No snow here yet. The grandsons are waiting on pins and needles for the first flakes though . Perhaps a flurry or two will come by the end of the winter season.
My fabrics are dyed and ready for the Winter Stamp SAL. I will be working on my individual stamps today.
 |
| Dyed with Rit Blue Denim |
The border on the large sampler is stitched, and it is ready to be filled with "all things winter. "
I stitched the border using DMC 930. Originally, I thought about stitching it in DMC 823, but at the time I could not find my floss. I do however like how the border has came out.

| DMC 930 is used in the border. |
I will be stitching each design twice . Once in the sampler and the 2nd time individually. I will be making the individual stamps into small pin pillows . These pillows will be tucked in my Christmas / Winter tree or nestled in a dough bowl for the season.
Below is a list of the DMC FLOSS COLORS that I will be using for the whole project . If additional colors are added , I will let you know . I will be stitching along with you and I sorta fly by the seat of my pants. Hee! Hee! I am stitching my border in DMC 930. I will be making the large piece and each stamp individually.
DMC- Blanc, 223, 301, 347, 356, 469, 646, 823, 829, 930, 3345, 3346, 3371, 3781,

Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤
Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy. Love and miss you, Amo.
Frosty the Stamp is very, very cute. I'm glad you decided to use 930 for the borders - one of my favorites. I'm dealing with a little stress in my life and it's tiring me out, so I'll say good night. I keep telling myself "this too shall pass" I need it to pass sooner than later. Until tomorrow. Big Hugs!!! Darlene J

ReplyDeleteIt already looks beautiful with just the letters and the embroidered border!

Can't wait to see the stamps. Just wanted to let you know that you can no long click on the links in the email that goes out and get to your blog. I have to type it and search for the blog to get the patterns.
ReplyDeleteYour Winter Sampler is going to be so SWEET! Love how you dyed the fabric a gorgeous pale blue. Your 932 shows up perfectly on it too. Makes it feel January-frosty! ❄️☃️❄️
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to this! I love Winter. We woke up to snow this morning. Talked to my daughter this morning and it is -19 F in ND. Boy, I am NOT missing temps being that cold. Brrr! Which dyed shade did you go with of the three we see?
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find the stitching pattern for the small piece that says in the winter you can build a snowman? Thank you
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Melisa!! The follow it email list stopped sending me your posts by email sometime in December so I've missed your last few wonderful posts :( I can't figure out any other way to get notifications when you have a new post. The Mail Chimp one at the bottom no longer works either. I wish Blogger had an app to keep up with these things.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, glad you are doing well and had a great Christmas! This winter series is adorable! I will have to see if I can join along. I'm impressed you have a WHOLE CONE of DMC 930! It must be your favorite blue :-) Looking forward to seeing all your beautiful stitching in 2025!
Happy New Year Melissa i haven’t had any problems yet with follow it i can still click on the text in the email and it goes to the blog, anyway I’m excited for this new winter s a l can’t wait to get started, you are a blessing to our community.
ReplyDeleteComment above was from me ha ha Susan
ReplyDeleteOh what fun. I printed out the pattern and will be hunting down the flosses. Thank you sweet friend for a Winter SAL. Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melisa! I will be stitching tonight!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited. I did autumn and spring. I also bought two extra frames so I can hang them all together. Only need you to do summer and I’ll have all 4. You are so awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to this stitch along Melisa! I've followed you for a few years now, and have searched your site for the snowman design in your header picture. The one on the far left with 3 cardinals and the black gingham frame. Can you point me in the right direction please? Thanks for all you do!
