October 31st~

It's a blustery Autumn day here!

Hold onto your hats & treat bags~

Hope your day is filled with sweet-treats, Friends!

Harvest Moon~

We have been enjoying several weeks of mild weather.

Beautiful sunny days & clear starry nights...

Walking the pup without a flashlight when the night sky lights the way~

That is what inspired this friendly moon~

Walking past pumpkin fields as the sun is setting.

Harvest beauties silhouetted against the sherbet orange sky.

Moon shining down on roadside pumpkins for sale~

Hope your Autumn days are filled with beauty, Friends!

Applique snowman stocking~

A little Christmas stocking to share with you~

We had our first frost & cold winds are beginning to blow!

Made my little snow friend from wool~

You can use what ever fabrics & stitches you're comfortable with.

The paper pattern is below.

~Personal use only, please~

Gift cards are perfect at times.

I like to dress them up a bit by making unique holders!

Something that can be kept to hang on the tree or cupboard pull.

I'm trying to start early this year...

I'll share more as I finish them~

It's a snap!

Twine, craft hemp or jute for arms!

I traced the pieces for the pattern before I began stitching~

Cut 2 stocking pieces & blanket stitch them together

after you applique your snowman to the front piece.

Feel free to use the paper pattern for your personal use.

I didn't add a scarf to my snow friend but did add a shape for your choice.

He will dress up the season~

Wishing your heart every happiness, Friends!

Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher Magazine~

This Valentine friend is in the 2017 Christmas~Winter Mega Issue!

There are so many beautiful patterns tucked inside.

Deb Jochim fills her publications with goodness!

She included a photograph of the snowman before I added

the Instant Antique spray~

This happy fella was on the cover of PNPS Fall 2017

He has some vegetables & seasonal decorations to deliver

for a meat-free Thanksgiving dinner (giggle)

I have so much fun with punch needle~

Hope you do to, Friends!

Wishing you a harvest season filled with goodness~
