Hello Sunshine! Rise and Shine! It is a beautiful winter's morn. I just wanted to pop in to show you my newest easy peasy quick stitch. This is called Winter Small.
Now this is a super simple winter stitch with a teeny snowman. A perfect piece to fill a wooden bowl with winter goodness . Don't ya' think?
To finish it, I gathered some black gingham ribbon from the Dollar Tree and some red snowflake fabric from my stash.
I tacked the ribbon by sewing it along the sides.
I also made a bow from the ribbon and added a wooden snowflake.
I then sewed it in place. Now it is ready to be sewn into a little winter pillow and then snuggled in a bowl filled with winter stitches.

I finished the embroidery work on Winter Checklist which I shared as a freebie in my November 27, 2025 post. I will be adding the border soon. Well I am off to see what else I can get into. Late last night, I posted "Cross stitches of 2025 End of the Year Review" in a back dated post ( December 30, 2025) if you would like to see the freebie cross stitch parade of 2025, just hop over for a lookie. Thank you so much for the sweet visit. Have a beautiful day! As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting,

I don't think I ever showed you my Mini Santa Sampler all finished. I made it into a little pin pillow with some bits of gingham , lace and a wooden button. Diann at Little Penguin Quilts shared her beautiful stitch and finish of her Mini Santa Sampler last Saturday. Oh my, was it cute! She used variegated thread for Santa and green for the letters. I do hope you pop over to see hers and her newest snowman embroidery she is working on . Thank you Diann. ❤🤗
