Whiteley Creek Homestead

Besides the beauty of snow hanging heavy on the branches of evergreen trees, there are two other things about winter in Minnesota that I love… the solitude and the brightness indoors. To recapture the brightness factor, I cut a wintery snow scene and attached it to my windows. Instant indoor brightness…

I drew a pattern on freezer paper then traced it onto heavy pellon, which is fusible interfacing. I used heavy pellon because it has a felt-like side that looks like snow with a waterproof film on the underside and I had a 50% off JoAnn Fabrics coupon. It provided a sturdy, yet flexible, material to work with that was wide enough so that no seams were required. I repeated the tree triplets sequence in each of my three windows.   

Using a circle cutter, I made dots to set atop the trees.
