I started working on the Hello Sun Quilt Along.
I have the coolest shiny gold thread.
I really like the way it looks.
Too bad my sun is kind of crooked. (Just ignore that okay?)
I also had shiny silver thread. Shiny is so much fun.
I told Hubby, when he saw my finished block he would be running to the
store to buy me more shiny threads.
Do you like it?
Then I used shiny copper for the arms. And on the hat band.
I made his nose a little small, I thought about redoing it. But...just didn't.
I used beads for the eyes. I thought they had a coal looking quality about them.
And the sun - I gave him some personality. He looks ready for a cereal commercial!
This one was so much fun to make.
I forgot to give him a mouth. Did you notice that?
I didn't notice until now.
Do you think I should give him one?
Happy Sewing,
He's adorable! You could either embroider a mouth, or use more beads, but he looks fine without a mouth too! He still looks happy. Love your Cherry background.
ReplyDeleteIt's way cute! I think the sun looks cute the way it is. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute!! All that shiny thread makes it look like a sparkling snowy day. I like Sunny's idea of using some beads for his mouth :)
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your block, especially the shiny thread. I think that make it. The sun on my block came out looking almost the same. Can't wait for block #2. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love it and agree, shiny looks great. As for the mouth, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out!
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda. Cute snowman! Great way to start the new year. I really like your threads. I would vote against a mouth. A snowman is kind of a neutral sort of thing. That's my 2 cents worth!
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
hehe I love your snowman and sun. :D Yep, love the shinies, too - they're perfect for the block theme. And nope, I had not noticed he didn't have a mouth. I think he's perfect as he is. Nice to see you at BOMs Away!
