Hello quilting friends! I hope your new year is off to a great start! Are you carving out some time to get carried away quilting in 2025? This past weekend a few friends joined me at my house for sewing, laughing, chatting and eating. We had a great time together. I made good progress on my Quilted Snowman project, so I thought I would pop in and share a few pictures.
This weekend I worked on several star blocks, the mittens and the wagon. Essentially the left side of the quilt is complete.
This large star block was time consuming, but not difficult. Someday I would love to make several of them . . . that would make for a stunning quilt!
I am having so much fun with this project! Auditioning fabrics, building the blocks and then watching the scene come to life on my design wall . . . it all brings me joy. If you’re looking for a smiler of a project, I would highly recommend the Quilted Snowman!
Next I will be sewing the evergreen trees which stand to the right of the snowman. I can’t wait to make them and inject more greens into the layout. As you can see, I’m running out of room on my design wall. Maybe I’ll temporarily tack up additional batting. The Quilted Snowman top will finish at 87.5″ x 97.5″.
Below are some links that you may find helpful. Thanks for stopping by!
