Each snowman takes over an hour, closer to two hours, to sew out in the embroidery hoop. I choose the colors for each part of the design through the fabrics that I apply as I sew through the multiple steps. I have five variations of snowmen to choose from. Once these are completed I play with how they are arranged as table runners or wall hangings.
This is a blog about a husband who entered his wife's sewing room and got hooked on quilting. It was HIS (Husband in Sewing room) because I had to use my wife's sewing room when she wasn't around. Now that the kids and moved out I have my own sewing room and my own machines. Yes, I already have more than one machine. I have a Janome that was handed down from my mother and now have a Brother embroidery machine.

The Snowmen are Coming
I love these guys and I have gotten a lot of positive encouragement from friends and family on FaceBook. The base of these projects comes from an in the hoop design at Sweet Pea Machine Embroidery Designs.
Here is my first set of snowmen all in black and grey. The blue snowflake border compliments the blue snowflakes in the designs of the snowmen. Below is a wide variety of ways that I have chosen to finish my creations. From single snowmen to groupings of two to five with a wide variety of borders. I continue to create these products as I get ready for upcoming shows and stock for my shop.
