We finally have our Winter Wonderland picture-perfect landscape Saturday!
It snowed and snowed, up to 10" (25cm) of the white stuff.

| It came down fast and furious. |
Everything is so beautiful this morning.
Goodbye brown landscape! I don't recall a winter so snowless.

But all is right in my world now. (Except for Covid! 😑)
About two weeks ago, I started thinking "what should I do for Cécile & Corinne's Challenge: Curves? They intimidate me." So, I decided on Orange Peel and applique. Yes, that would be good. I got the die cutter out and some solid coloured fabrics.
Last week, some cutting happened.
Last week, some cutting happened.
Way too much cutting happened.
So today, I will slow down and stitch and pray for a dear, dear friend of mine. I forgot to take pictures of all the "options" I tried but here is what I think my layout will be. Still pondering. But this one looks good. ... Maybe.
Do I like that dark leaf?
Have a great week everyone!
;^)

Beautiful winter scenes! Happy stitching!
Snowy indeed, so pretty as long as I don't have to drive in it! Have fun with your slow stitching, it looks so spring like and cheerful.
Jolis paysages ! J'espère que tout ira bien pour ton ami(e)...
Joli début de courbes ! J'aime beaucoup ton projet, il va être magnifique !
I do like the dark leaf. Looks like a fun layout. Best of luck with your curves!
Your snow photos are wonderful. Enjoy your leaves. I hope your friend is ok.
That looks fun... are you going to reverse applique the scraps you cut your leaves from????? I love your colourful leaves

Enjoy your Sunday with your feet up. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
Snow does look so pretty when it's brand new - and much better than when everything is brown! I like your beginnings with the orange peels, too!
Gorgeous snow scenes--I think your choice of curve blocks is going to look beautiful...hugs, Julierose
Ooh. I love the leaves. Even the dark one!
Yes! I love the dark leaf!
Merci pour les jolies photos du Canada sous la neige !!
Tes blocs sont très prometteurs !!
Je croise les doigts pour ton amie Chantal... Bisous
Yes, I like the leaves, lay out and the dark one too! A beautiful snowy scene!
Lovely snow pictures - its been awhile since I have seen some. I like your 'leaves' and the dark one is fine. xx
The pictures do look nice - so glad you are enjoying the snow. :)
I like the dark leaf. I think it sort of anchors the rest and I really like the way you have then laid out.
Beautiful snow photos. We had a ton of snow in December but January has rained and melted all the pretty white stuff. I am sure we will have more before winter departs. I love the leaves, including the dark one. Looking forward to following your progress. Thank you for linking up again this week ... :) Pat
your snow is so pretty......
We've had a fairly snowless winter so far, but we did have one morning where everything was covered in white. When it clings to the trees, it does create a winter wonderland. As long as I don't have to go out in it (and I haven't been going anywhere), it's beautiful. I like your orange peel leaves. I started some for RSC a few years ago, but didn't enjoy the technique, so they've been abandoned.
