Studio Stitch is having a Christmas in July event, and I asked to make something with a snowman for it. After searching through available patterns, we selected this cute wall hanging (or table runner, maybe) by Sandy Fitzpatrich of HissyFitz Designs.
I’ll be teaching this in July, but the patterns started selling as soon as the class sample went up, so the shop is re-ordering. If you’re comfortable with fusible applique there’s no need for a class, since this is pretty easy. However, that cute cardinal in the center block needs to be assembled separately, on a special applique sheet, and then fused to the block.
The pattern is available from Studio Stitch, either in person or by mail, and I’ll be teaching the class July 27. There are other fun holiday-related classes planned, as well; you can see them on the shop’s website.

I love the Cardinal perched on the carrot nose!
Everybody loves that cardinal, which is the only complicated part of this entire pattern!
Such cute snowmen! I love the cardinal!
Thanks Chela! I’ll bet you could use a little snow about now!
That is delightful! I love the bird on the nose!
Yes, that bird was worth the trouble 😀
That’s adorable
Thanks!
Oh what fun!
This designer has several cute patterns and recently presented at one of my guilds.
