Welcome to my turn on the hop.
First off I would like to thank Carol and Mdm Samm for all they do to get us organized and inspired for all this hop. There have been some great ideas and projects posted sew far and even more inspiration shared through each of the posts. Thanks sew much fellow hoppers.
I have had some fun with what I wanted to make for this hop.
I had a Christmas card that I had thought would make a nice little wall hanging..... sew I went from the card
then I pulled out some of the fabric I painted last year in a class at the Sask. Stitches Conference
sunprinting with seta colors and snowflakes and just a touch of glitter |
I added a few extra snow flakes
and this is what I came up with.
I am thinking I will be going through my old cards to see what else I can come up with next.
a close up of my snowman and his button smile
And what would a Christmas/Holiday themed hop be without a give away
The Quilter's Homecoming.
Just leave a comment and a way to contact you if you are a non-reply commenter. I will make the draw at the end of the hop, August 9th.
Here is the links to the rest of the posts for todays hop.

ReplyDeleteMr. Snowman is marvelous! I'm wishing for some snow weather after today's heat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea. I am in awe of folks who have creativity and artistic ability. I have zero artistic ability. When I took my creativity class in grad school, I had to ask my daughter to help me with some artistic work. She has an uncle from her dad's side who is an artist and thankfully she has a little bit of that gene - enough to be able to do what I needed to get done what I needed so I was able to complete my project. Thanks for participating and sharing your amazing project and creativity. Congrats on a top 2 finish.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute snowman! I just love him!

ReplyDeleteI have to say that I love snowmen projects the most for Christmas!
