Four Down and a Spring Doodle Freebie

Two more Mr. Snow blocks are completed. These are Block 4 Waiting for Snow and Snow Mitten which I shared last year. 



In the February 27, 2025 post, entitled Piecing Snowmen I gave a tutorial with measurements on how I am completing each block. 


4 blocks sashed! 8 more to go. Mr. Snow is moving on. 


I have had an itch to start a new embroidery project. Sooooo, the other day, I put pen to paper and drew up a simple little jar called Spring Jar.   I  have a wee start on it and will continue on this project today. 


A Little Doodle Just for You. 🤗



My doodles are hand drawn and never perfect

UPDATE: MARCH 19, 2025-  I posted the finishing tutorial in the March 20, 2025 post entitled Piecing the Spring Jar Quilt

Have a super day and ...

 As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Melisa

  1. Good Evening/Good Morning Mz Melisa - I love all the red prints you're using on your snowman blocks. Adorable!!! And, the spring jar is so sweet. Sadly, I still cannot print embroidery/applique blocks to the right size. My printer doesn't want to place nice. LOL I'm going to print the spring jar and see how small my printer makes it. I'm so tempted to drop kick my printer - LOL Happy, Happy Thursday!!! Hugs, Darlene J

    1. LOL that printer is in for a knock down! I hope it plays nice today. Your printer sounds like mine .I am expecting any time for mine to give up and quit. The thought of learning how to use a new one is exasperating. LOL. I hope to work on 2 more snowmen today. I am moving slow and steady with these fellas . Hee Hee! Have a happy Thursday. Hugs.

  10. Mr. Snow is looking pretty great! Will there be another sashing between the sashed block?Mason jars always make me smile. A Spring jar is such a very hopeful image. I know we are all ready for some growing things and sunshine in our days.
