When I was a child, I remember visiting my Uncle Tom at his secluded Idaho mountain farm. Winters were tough, snow drifted several feet deep. His old red tractor helped him plow the road out so he could get to town. Years later, my husband and I inherited his tractor: her name is Gertie. I painted her a few years ago, and in the spirit of the holiday season, decided to turn her into an applique design. I remembrance of my Uncle and his life, I named the design Grateful. 

The pattern can be used to created a wall hanging for two seasons--yes, two seasons: fall and winter. That's because with the pattern you can make three mistletoe and berry snap-ons and three fall leaf snap-ons. What do I mean by snap-ons? The mistletoe and leaf sections are attached by simple everyday snaps (not included in kit) that are sewn to their backs, and to the background. You can also use Velcro or hooks. When autumn turns to winter, you simply change out the fall leaves for the mistletoe and berries!
