First Frost

Why ‘First Frost’ for this sampler on a snowman? Bill & I enjoy walking outside in the evening after the 1st real snowfall of the season. It’s quiet, crisp & a little magical…just like the neighborhoods in these designs.

Finish as the primitive shaped snowmen – templates available in the tutorial section & look for a FlossTube Tutorial very soon!

I love this part of my job! We were in Ames, IA f I love this part of my job!

We were in Ames, IA for a few days (Special Olympics Summer Games on the IA State campus). On the way home, we stopped at Prairie Rose Needleworks to visit Amanda! She opened her shop a year ago & it was wonderful to see it all in person!!

- love her storefront - great parking with restaurants close by
- I took home several of those nurge hoops
- a great selection of charts and threads
- awesome embroidery kits with books on Sashiko & Kogin
- I spy binders of my designs (I couldn’t help it 🤣)
- there we are…I’m fresh off the tennis court so not loving my hairdo!

It was great to see her again after Nashville Market. Check the shop out if you’re in the area or see her website!
