I’m once again honored to be part of another volume of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks!
My block, Frosty is #1150.
He is pieced & then his face & scarf are applique.
He’ll make a great after Christmas project when the snow starts flying.
By the way,
fabric snowmen are the only ones I truly love.
If I could move to a sunny & warm climate 365 days a year I’d be happy!
With Frosty here though, I can stay where it’s warm & sew him all day.
How cute he would be at opposite ends of a runner for your winter table.
You would have space in the middle to put a pretty bowl of snowballs (real or the cookie kind)!
