There was a need to replenish some of these snowman toppers for my Etsy shop this past week. I had the parts cut for this one and the snowflakes were stenciled already so it was quick to put together and quilt it.
This one took a little more as only the triangles for the center were cut out and stenciled. So a little cutting and applique along with adding the borders was needed before quilting.
I tend to quilt these the same way each time which helps speed up the process a bit.
I also needed to remake the tree skirt! I loved the first one so much I decided to do it exactly the same.
I used a wide backing for this. The tree skirt is 45" in diameter.

As always I appreciate you using my affiliate links!! Are you Black Friday shopping or staying in? The hubby and I did a little internet shopping, otherwise I am staying in and doing a little more quilting. Oh and I might have just hopped over to JoAnn's on Tuesday and picked up a little fabric. It was 3.99 a yard for their Keepsake line, couldn't pass that up! It took me longer than it should have as there was a line for cutting, with only one clerk!! And then another line for checking out, again only one working. Good thing I wasn't in a hurry.

Your snowman items are always so cute! I really love that tree skirt - did the first one sell right away? It's supposed to snow here tomorrow - predicted amounts vary - so I'm thinking the only Black Friday we'll be doing is online! Hope you're feeling better - I forgot to ask you about that.
ReplyDeleteI always like that snowman
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the snowmen are one of your best sellers. So cute! The wedge one is also very cute with the snowmen added. Great idea!!
ReplyDeleteMore of your fun snowmen. I bet they all sell fast. I hit JoAnns Wed and bought 3 backings. It was packed with not enough staff. Then I decided I could use 3 more backings so we went Friday. They had lots of people working. There was a small wait at the cutting table but we walked right up to a cashier and got out quickly. I'm a fabric washer so I think I have something like 18 yards of fabric to wash. EEK. 6 quilts worth. I'll be doing a lot of quilting over the next month or two.
ReplyDeleteAwesome snowmen, Vicki!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
ReplyDeleteYour snowmen are always so, so cute! I really like our Joann's but I stayed away this past week, because their staff is small and I knew it would be busy. I'm going to hit it up next week though! :D
ReplyDeleteThose are just so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThose wedge quilts never grow old! Love them!
