Thoughts on Snowfolks...

From Cheryl Fall, About.com Guide   November 22, 2009

Everyone has a holiday theme that they adore or collect. Some folks collect santa figurines, elves or crystal ornaments. Others prefer yard ornaments and bazillions of lights to illuminate the exteriors of their homes, nativity creches or model trains to place around the tree.

My "thing" is Snowmen, (aka: snowfolks, snowpeople, snowdudes, snu-mans) and this adoration has grown into more of a fetish over the years.

I have stitched, carved, knitted, appliqued, baked & frosted, sculpted, quilted and crocheted snowmen of every size and pursuasion - and paint them in acrylics on canvas as well (I've placed a photo of one of my many snowman paintings here on this blog as irrefutable proof). Naturally, I had to transform my addiction into a needlepoint version.

I've designed and stitched a quick and easy needlepoint chart for you, featuring a snowman giving his heart. Now I can add one more snowdude for my burgeoning collection, and you have a new pattern to enjoy!

Happy Stitching!
