Frosty Snowmen

We've had snow on the ground for a long time.

Usually around here it snows and then

melts.  It's just been too cold to have it go away.

The snow and cold weather have been a good

motivator for me to finish up my snowman quilt.

"Frosty Snowmen"

56" x 56"

Designer: Ann Sutton, Bunny Hill

My quilting group, The Quilting Buddies,

used this free pattern from 2009 as a block of the month

challenge this past year.

It was fun to do as a group and is always a delight to 

see how each person interprets the personalities of the snowmen.

I used white wool for the snowmen and a limited palete

for the the rest of the design.

Some buttons and embroidery added the finishing touches.

On the back, I used the leftovers of the three main fabrics that I 

used in every block.

Always a good way to use up what's left.

I machine quilted it myself and used The Bottom Line

thread by Libby Lehman.

It's as thin as a hair and worked great.

I could do a lot of quilting and it didn't

make the quilt stiff.

It's a 60 wt.

thread and being polyester, no lint.

I would definitely  use it again.

It's good to try new things once in a while.

I love doing a project in month to month segments,but

then I always reach a point where I'm ready to get this

thing done and move on.

It's done and I'm already on to something new.

I'm thinking maybe my Florida daughter might need

a reminder of snow and snowmen so I'll see if

she has a place for it under her beach umbrella.

Until Next Time-
