Winter is my least favorite season. Sure there are many fun holidays during the winter months, but living in northern Michigan winter comes too soon and seems to never want to go away. But, I do have to admit that there is nothing more beautiful than a good hard snow storm. The trees are covered in a blanket of snow with large snowflakes blowing in every direction. It is a Winter Wonderland. In fact, our state has a motto Winter Wonderland. The flip side of that is it's a pain to dig ourselves out from a heavy snow.
This next project is inspired by that beautiful snow storm. I named this wallhanging, of course, "Winter Wonderland". It is constructed with two inch blocks. The tree limbs are pieced randomly in a light tan to resemble being snow covered.
The wallhanging is quilted with swirls in all directions and French knots follow around the quilting to help emphasize the large blowing snowflakes and wind. I left a lot of background with the white blocks to show the blowing snow.
A small red cardinal sits on a branch to add a pop of color.
Finished size is 60" wide by 50" long.
Winter Wonderland is another UFO checked off my list. So far my checked UFOs have been close to finished projects. My next UFO will take more focus to finish. I'm on a mission, see you soon.
