Flannel Snowmen

I know, I know, who wants snowmen and flannel right now?  Considering that our spring has been wet, cold and snowy, I agree.  However, this is an absolutely adorable quilt!

My customer, Bea, does an absolutely fabulous job creating the cutest snowmen quilts.  This one is made entirely out of flannel scraps. We stitched in the ditch around each of the cornerstone stars as well as those within the quilt blocks and then stippled among the remaining small flannel blocks.

And these guys?  Aren't they the cutest?
The snowmen were appliqued so we simply stitched around the appliqué.  These stars were also stitched in the ditch and we added some stars among them as well.

The border was stitched with a variegated 50 weight Aurifil thread in loops and some fun winter motifs:

 Ice Skates



A winter hat and scarf


 some ribbon candy

and mittens!

Hope you don't have to bundle up in winter clothes this weekend; have fun outside!  We are having gorgeous weather in Wyoming.  Enjoy linking up with some of the sites on my sidebar and don't forget Crazy Mom Quilts here:  http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com
