Here is a quick look at one small part of the table topper I am working on for my Island Batik project for October.
This little snowman is an embroidery design - I wish I could tell you where I got it, but I don't remember. I didn't find it on Embroidery Library -where I get lots of my designs.
(late addition - this came from Kreative Kiwi Designs. This one is from Redwork Christmas. Current price is all of $2.10 USD for all nine designs for a 4x4 hoop)
After sewing out the snowman, and quilting all around it, I decided to play with my Inktense pencils. I colored in as best I could (it needs a bit of touchup.) Then I went back with a somewhat stiff paintbrush and textile medium to activate the color AND to make it permanent.
You may see that around his nose I slipped a bit. That just adds to the handmade charm (I keep telling myself. )
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

Nice quilting Gene.
A really cute snowman and I love that he's coloured in. Oh I hope we have some snow this winter.
Cute snowman, the colors just make him that much more loveable.
