Do you remember back a few posts when I was wondering about
making a quilt with all the
snowman images? Well...I have made up a quilt plan!
I have sketched this simple diagram to show the size and layout. This sketch shows the five eight by eight inch squares that will each have a different embroidered snowman:
I have two of the snowmen stitched up and ready to go and I have started on a third. I have transferred the patterns of the remaining two onto fabric so they are ready to stitch. The rest of the squares will be four by four inch. I am also going to stitch some of the embellishment patterns onto some of these random squares. The four by four squares will all be in these fabrics - the red and white polka dot, powder blue and red:
I hope this works out! I love the color scheme and I am excited to start the sewing squares together part of the quilt! When everyone is sewn together, I think I will add some decorative embroidery stitches too. I will keep the blog posted on my progress!

Your snowmen are adorable! I love the fabric combo you chose.
Those are adorable. I just love the things you come up with. I am working on a snowman design with applique and embroidery in soft colors. Most likely won't be out until the end of the year though.
Snowmen seem to be so popular!
Have a great year sweetie. I have so enjoyed getting to know you.
love your idea and can't wait to watch as you sew and to see the finish!...
lovely idea. i can't wait to see the finished piece
Lookin' Good! What a fun project to cheer up dreary January days.
Yay! I can't wait to see this!! Love those colors!
This is going to be super cute and cheery. I love that it is a winter quilt instead of just Christmas. Can't wait to see it finished.
It´s adorable! I can´t wait to see this work finished! Kisses! Happy New Year!

Hi Kim, I have just recently found your blog (Madame Samm sent me your address) and have so enjoyed going back and reading. I love embroidery and quilting both so this post really appealed to me. The snowmen are so cute and will make a wonderful quilt. blessings, marlene
