Diamonds In The Snow

quilted wallhanging of a snowman wearing a tophat and two button plaid vest. His arms are made from twigs and a bluebird, also wearing a tophat is resting on one of the arms
What a beautiful view I had this morning out of my kitchen window. The sun was shining so brightly on the newly fallen snow making it appear as if sparkling diamonds dotted the landscape. The snow reminded me to put my snowman wallhanging on the wall before spring arrives. This was made from a pattern in an older Piecemakers Calendar back in the 90s. The bird's little beak is dimensional and the twig arms are hand embroidered.

I am almost finished sewing Step 4 of the Carolina Mystery Quilt. I've been alternating between sewing and cleaning today so I don't get bored with the cleaning part.

  4. Love your snowman, Jeanne. It was fun to see your Wisconsin photos as that's where I grew up!

    Your wall hanging would go well with the quilt that I made for my grandson!

    Stay Warm.

  17. I thought that wallhanging looked familiar and for a minute I wondered if it were a cousin to the one I have hanging on the sewing room door. Right, the piecemaker calendars! I used to get those things for years.

    I'm not sure how I found your blog, but I'm glad I did. I quilt and stitch too. I'm concetrating on my stitching now plus I'm working on a small knitting project. I love your tea cozy. Enjoy your projects and I'll be back. Linda

  22. Your snowman is cute as can be! And that tea cozy a couple of posts back is cute enought that I am almost considering giving up coffee. I wonder if I could use it to keep my coffee maker warm......... And I'm glad you were here in WI when we got all that lovely lovely snow! Nothing better than all that nice white in the winter! As you can tell I'm catching up on blogs, the holidays helped life to really get away from me!
