Lacy snowflake in the window
For many of us, winter means snow. While we may
not enjoy shovels and slush, there is something so
magnificent about a pristine white field sparkling
in the sunlight and evergreen branches coated in
frost. Why not bring some of that beauty into our
homes with a lovely, lacy cutwork snowflake?
Cutwork is a needlework technique where portions
of fabric are cut out and the resulting holes are
reinforced with embroidery. Traditionally done
by hand, cutwork produces intricate openwork
heirlooms closely resembling lace. Wouldn’t it be
great if there were an easier way? There is!
