Last January I started Merry Merry Snowmen by Ann Sutton of Bunny Hill which was a 9 block pattern. I did it with a friend and we met weekly to sew together and share fabrics most French General. All the snowmen were appliqued in wool by hand. And all the other details were appliqued in cotton by machine in a blanket stitch.
I finished the top and the back in October and sent it off to be longarmed. And I collected it in January.
There have been countless hours attaching the binding and the rod pocket. And then all the eyes needed buttons and other small details.
Lastly I have been quilting the large applique designs.
AND for the big finish: Hooray for me!!!!!!!
Completed size 62 by 66 (Photo a little yellowy )
that's cute - a nice winter/Christmas quilt
