Look what I found out in my snowy flowerbeds before Christmas!
Being all dressed up with a tartan fleece hat and scarf, What else could I do, but give him a Scottish moniker? :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]453873[/ATTACH] So I brought him inside, working quickly to get some pics, before he had a major meltdown!! :) At 25"x45" he fits nicely on a door, or makes for a narrow wall hanging. Extra poly batting was set in place to give the snowbank more puff! The fabric is silver on white, with silver metallic stitching for the quilting Here's a better view, hanging on my design wall. [ATTACH=CONFIG]453874[/ATTACH] What else could I use for the FMQ but some snowballs? His snowflake buttons are fussy cut hexies from the border fabric, then hand appliqued in place. [ATTACH=CONFIG]453875[/ATTACH] Nose and eyes were machine appliqued with a double blanket stitch. The glint/white in his eyes is hand embroidered with regular floss. I sewed on small buttons for McF's smile, and some gold metallic yarn gave him some hair! *tip* once trimmed his hair was molting ... some hair spray was needed. So Best Press to the rescue ... worked perfectly!!! :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]453878[/ATTACH] This was a commission, so he no longer lives with me. ... and yes, I am already making plans for my very own new and improved Fr♥sty! :D You might think he looks a little familiar ... Here's his brother which was a Christmas gift last year! [ATTACH=CONFIG]453876[/ATTACH] |

I said, oh no, I would be worried it might react and stain. Then, there was that "aha moment"! Plus ... instead of the hair flopping, I was able to get it to perk out, just like a real "do" with hairspray! :D |
I love your Frosty! Great improvements!
|
what a super job!!!
|
He is one handsome snowman. You put some many cute touches on him. Love it.
|
Sew cute!!!!!

Very cute. Love everything you did on this quilt.

Very cute! I think he needs a table runner to match. MSQC posted a Snowman table runner tutorial last week using the hexie ruler.
