Let It Snow

Compared to the last 2 winters that we have had here in northern Michigan, you could almost say that this winter had been downright mild.  The previous 2 winters, it started snowing the end of October and just did not stop until March/April/May.  Well, this year, we got pretty lucky in that the snow didn't really start to accumulate until after Christmas.  But now, the snow is definitely coming down with no signs of stopping.  That's all right - it's kind of pretty and at least for today, I don't have anywhere I need to be.

In honor of all the snow that's coming down, I decided to make a snowflake hanging sign thing to put on our sadly bare front door.  I'd seen a few other people post on Instagram about cutting out snowflakes from paper and appliqueing them onto fabric.  Out came the Heat and Bond, some super stiff interfacing I had on hand and some pretty white on white, blue and gray fabrics.

It was really quite fun to make especially since I cheated on the applique and just stuck it down with matchstick quilting - no way was I going to outline all those edges!!

Ta-da - a much prettier front door and a quick fun finish too! :)
