Snowmen A to Zzzz.... Letters K and L

Snowmen A to Zzzz.... Letters K and L.  K is for Kris Kringle and L is for lights.

This is the last block for this pattern.  My daughter has been working on these blocks on and off for a couple of years, maybe three.  She has been working on many things in between though too.


She has done a fabulous job with her very tiny stitches.  I need my glasses on, in order to actually see the individual stitches.  Oh....to have young eyes again.

All of the blocks are from a pattern called Snowmen A to Zzzz designed by ?????.  They are sewn together side by side and than a fancier stitch is used to sew along the seams, bringing them all together.


My daughter though has decided to use her blocks in a different way.  She wants to use them in a random way, with different types of pieced blocks between them or along side them.  Vary much like my flower garden quilt.  The design is still to be finalized, so it may be a while before we see this quilt done.

In the meantime she started some more hand embroidered blocks.  Instead of Winter with the Christmas theme, this new project is more Spring with flowers in baskets.  More on that later......

I want to end with a clip from Bonnie Hunter's blog:


A good reason to wake up each morning and face the days to come! Just look for the rainbows, they are out there!!
