January Handmade Heartfelt Wool Appliqué Banner Pattern

A little Winter Sparkle to make the season bright.

I have a huge hydrangea outside my studio window that has grown to a tree-like size. Every year it is simply packed full of blooms that dry and stay in place all fall and winter. They fade to a lovely off-white color. When the first snow of the season comes, the snow clings to them, turning them white with flakes that sparkle in the sun. It is such a lovely sight! To make it even sweeter, it isn’t unusual to see a Cardinal come and take a rest on the snow covered limbs.

This banner is designed to capture the magic of winter that I am so luck to enjoy outside my window. I hope that the design with the subtle bits of sparkle feel as magical to you as it does to me!

Notes:

• The finished banner is about 5 1/2" x 7".
  
• The pattern is suitable for both wool and cotton appliqué.
  
• The design is perfect for also adding to small pincushions, bowl fillers, and hoop art.
  
• This pattern is for personal use only.
