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)!
***

Quilting my way through life! 
I love to make Christmas gifts, so I have to say Christmas.
I really like Frosty. I think I like Spring the best these days. I hate being cold. I’m old.
I love your runner and the snowball cookies are a perfect centerpiece. What a great idea!
Any holiday is a good excuse to sew something new. However, I am partial to any of the patriotic holidays. After being stationed in Korea for 16 months, I have a new appreciation for our freedom and privileges and don’t ever plan to take them for granted. kathleen(dot)lutz(at)comcast(dot)net
I don’t have a favorite season but I do think your cookie recipe sounds scrumsous .
I like your Tiny Dresden series patterns. Thanks for a chance to win,

Fall is my favorite season. And you summer play pattern
The cookies look great and I love your Snowman too. They match…
Don’t have a favorite season to sew for but I do more piecing in the summer and quilting in the winter.
I love giving at Christmas, especially handmade. Thanks for the recipe.

Your pattern Pretty Table, I would love to win.
patsystitch@gvtc.com
Garden Romance is my favorite.
Your table runner is a cheerful holiday touch. I can see an arrangement of holly on it as a calorie free alternative to the scrumptious cookies. The holiday that I most like to sew for is Halloween. And I like your “A Pretty Table” pattern for this time of year, or for birthdays.
My niece just loves snowman . We made 24 snowman placemats.
My favorite season for sewing is winter–there just never seems to be enough time to get it all done! Happy Thanksgiving!
I like them all, but my favorite would be the tiny dresden series-one for every month!
Fall is my favorite season to make quilts for, and my favorite quilt is my Modern Maple.
Such a cute snowman! Melts my heart! I love your tiny dresden patterns very much. Especially summers end, the september pattern.
My favorite season is the fall to sew with those warm days and very cool nights.
I like to change my wall hangings & tablerunners every season. It is hard to pick a favorite. Your snowman tablerunner will definitely be on my list of things to make soon.
I love to make Christmas gifts. The mini Happy Birthday quilt is so cute!
I like to sew in the winter. Love Frosty and the cookies too!
All your Christmas patterns are great but my favorite is your “faith, hope, love” quilt pattern. thanks for sharing and a chance to win.
Love your Frosty block. I’ve been making snowman themed blocks for the holidays and now I have another block to make. I spend winters quilting.
Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite season to sew for is the fall. I love fall colors.
It isn’t very original, but I do like sewing Christmasy things. Thanks for the bonus recipe! Yum.

The snowman block is so appealing! I like the table runner setting. Thanks for the offer of one of your patterns — Pretty Table really appeals to me.
I think that winter is my favorite season to quilt for. I love Christmas fabrics. Along with that, my favorite of your patterns is Frosty.
I just like quilting, regardless of the season. Your snowman is so cute and does not scream Christmas — makes it usable for all winter.

My favorite season to sew for is Winter! BTW, I moved from upstate NY to Florida, and I hatae it — I really miss the change of seasons, seeing the leaves change, and waiting for the first beautiful snowfall.

I sew all year round but I do love fall colors and have made several quilts table toppers and runners for Fall decorating.
While I do like sewing holiday themed projects, my favorite season for sewing is “gift giving season”. That could be any time of the year when there is an occasion to give a gift!

It is hard to pick from your many wonderful patterns! I really like your Simplify quilt and table runner pattern.

Merry Xmas to you and Santa pockets is just what I am looking for.
Now those cookies would be tasty as well .
I love sewing and gifting throughout the year. Your snowman will be a perfect design to use on the Christmas potholders I’m making. Such fun!
I love snowmen, your Frosty is super cute.
I seem to have more time to sew in the Winter as I’m not out in the yard doing yard work and gardening chores. :-) I adore snowmen and am happy to see that at least one is in the magazine! Congrats!
I don’t have a favourite season to sew for, I tend to make things that can be used all year.
Once again, you did not disappoint!!! Super cute!!! Favorite season to sew for is Christmas. Although birthdays in our family are perfectly spaced out, but I love the cooler weather for the heavier quilts… if you find some cooler weather by the way, send it to Maryland. It’s like early Sept out there. Love the Desden Heaven pattern on your website. That’s definitely one to make when there is a chill in the air. Congrats on your cutie patutie block!!!
I love to make things for Christmas and do so all year long! I do love Frosty!
And on your website my favorite pattern is Little Frosties. I’m a snowman junkie!

I love to sew in the winter but I have two days of the year that are all out sewing-fest days – the day after Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Phones, kids, hubby’s, fur-babies – no one is allowed to disturb my peace when I’m piecing on these days.
Love them all, snowmen pumpkins UT really love 4th of July
My favorite season to quilt is winter.

I love making Springy things – especially Spring flowers mostly appliqued on table runners.
I like to make gifts and decorations for Christmas.
I think winter is the best season to sew for!
I like the Tiny Dresden August pattern the best!

Your frosty is so cute. My favorite season to sew is autumn. My favorite pattern of yours is the gobble gobble.
Your snowman block is neat! I like to sew for Christmas but my favorite season is fall so I find myself sewing more things in those colors than anything.
I have more fall items, but Christmas is a close second for sewing projects.

I love fall quilts, so my favorite pattern is Pumpkins in the Patch!

Hi Susan!
I LOVE your snowman block…he’s too cute! I love sewing patriotics, so I guess I like to see for the 4h of July/summer season! Your Summer Blooms pattern might be great for that and one of my favorites!
my favorite to sew for is winter, everyone wants a quilt!
it may not be from your webstore but, I am currently making your quilt as you go joy pattern i purchased from connecting threads at least a year ago
I’ve made lots of Christmas table toppers and runners, but I like making Halloween related quilts/wall hangings the best. I love sampler quilts, your My Happy Place pattern mays my heart go pitter-patter.
I love to sew in the fall and the winter – the fall colors inspire me and in the winter it’s a comfort feeling. I love that you combine piecing and applique, your garden quilt is wonderful.

Your Frosty is so darling. That’s the only kind of snowman I’ve ever seen. I really like your “Joyful Christmas” pattern. It’s beautiful
While Christmas is always enjoyable to sew for , I like fall/Halloween the best. I like your Joyful Christmas pattern
I love your garden romance quilt and Frosties are cute too.
I like the “A Merry Christmas T You” pattern!

My favorite season to sew for is winter, which is a good thing, since it is rainy and dreary here with a lot of indoor time for quilting.
My favorite season to sew for is Christmas. Love your snowman block.
I like to sew for fall I guess because of the colors.
I would love to have your old glory pattern. It’s beautiful!
My favorite season to sew for would be Fall. Such lucious colors.

I sew for any season, any time, any where! That being said, I seem to have amassed a large quantity of Halloween fabric, so perhaps I do have a favorite!

I like to sew for winter and Christmas. I decorate with snowmen for Christmas so that I can leave them out longer. So a snowman block is just my style! I like your Thistle jacket pattern. Thanks for the giveaways.
I love your snowman block on the table runner!!! I love sewing for both FALL and for Christmas.
Your Freedom Basket caught my eye because our family celebrates the Fourth in a really big way. It would be terrific to add to the usual decorations.
It’ easier to say I am not a fan of hot, so the cooler times of the year are fine with me, Kathy in colo
I enjoy summer sewing. I Make garments also so love using summer fabrics to make sundresses and other cute things to wear x

Frosty is so cute! Will definitely have to make a few table runners for gifts this year. Love your stocking pattern too. I enjoy seeing when the weather is cooler. Here in AZ, that isn’t too long. Lol Those snowball cookies look yummy! Hugs rustyquilts9 at gmail dot com
