Monthly mini - February Snow

This month’s mini is in honor of the great Earle Scruggs. One of my favorite albums growing up was “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” (Lester Flat and Earle Scruggs) and my favorite song on the vinyl was “February Snow”. 

My friend Karen won two little Hmong appliques at our annual auction back in October and she gave me one. It reminded me of one of the wonderful snow art (made by walking in the snow with snowshoes!) of Simon Beck.

The border print is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I liked the name. It’s a Hoffman print titled “Call of the Wild Snowflake”. I machine quilted the border in jagged lines that looked somewhat icicle like. I felt the hand appliqued center deserved a little hand quilting. 

Here are links to all the fabulous monthly minis. Do take a look! Please let me know if I have missed anyone. As always, feel free to jump in any time. If you've made a mini just let me know and I'll link it up! I try to post them in the last few days of the month.
