Squirrel moment-errr I mean snowman moment!!

Do you ever get an idea and ya just can't let go?  Silly question, I know you do 😁.  Well I had one of those moments this weekend.  Enter more snowman table runners!  Yep I could just see them in my mind and I had to hurry up and get into the sewing room and get out the gray, red and whites that I knew would be perfect for them.  Cut, cut, sew, sew, draw, draw, a little more sewing, and by Sunday night I had 4 of these guys all pieced.  Two of each style were ready to jump onto the quilting frame bright and early Monday morning.


 I stenciled the snowflakes using Tsukineko ink before quilting it.  


A little custom quilting.  I also stitched the hats and noses on with my longarm.  

Here is the other version of this runner.

I think he is adorable and should be a good seller also.  There is one of each in my Etsy shop now.


I had put on one long backing and when I got done with these 4 there was enough for one more runner.  Run down to the sewing room and finish piecing a different snowman runner.  I know you have seen me do several of these but they are selling really well.  Three of them on Etsy in a week!!  The other ones all sold out at the shows so I have to make even more soon:0   This is one of my patterns you can find in my Craftsy shop.

Hope you all are having a very productive week, I am off to a good start and hope to maintain the pace.

    Hi Vicki,
    I love these! I love the colors but most of all the faces of the snowmen. I agree, that middle guy is adorable but these last three who are peeking are pretty darn cute too. I can see why they are selling so well - who doesn't like a cute snowman table runner?!! Thanks for whipping up a post, too. ~smile~ Roseanne

    Cool way to do those snowflakes, Vicki. I learned about Inktense pencils in my class with Bethanne. The Tsukineko ink is new to me...looks great!
    I love their tall skinny stovepipe hats, too.
    SEW happy to hear of your successful sales. You've earned every penny!

    That soft gray is so versatile! It really makes the red pop, too. I really like that you can use these all winter, and they aren't just for Christmas :)

    What wonderful and fun this runner is! Very playful too. I really like how the snowmen face both ways with the snowflakes in the center.
