This little fabric postcard is now ready for a trip to the mountains and the mailbox of my younger sister, who will be celebrating her birthday in the wee early days of March. Not only did a snowman seem appropriate for her this winter, but the card had to include a snow-dog. Finding a free clip art file featuring a miniature schnauzer (her favorite breed of dog) in profile made the job easy. I love adding beads when I can, so I added some small clear seed-beads to the centers of several of the snowflakes for a little sparkle. Mostly constructed of quilting cottons, I incorporated some woolens for the hat and scarf and some really soft red velour (previously a skirt) for the heart. Why? ‘Cause she’s a soft touch, too.
