Today
I'm unveiling my second Christmas quilt project. The cute snowman
print and wine/cream fabric came from this year's estate sale
bonanza.
The
block, Shooting Star, is a vintage 1934 Nancy Cabot design. Using
Blue Wren's Sliced Square die made quick work for cutting and
stitching.
Starry Snowmen
Natural muslin sashing frames the blocks. I quilted with cream thread using serpentine stitch. Starry Snowmen is 54“ square.
The
backing is a large wine and cream snowflake and feathered star fabric
that my mama gave me years ago. Nice memory...today would have been
her birthday and I miss her.
Note: Thanks to those who asked if we were affected by Saturday's awful tornadoes and storms. We are fine, only had one small tree down. There was lots of damage in nearby towns, and unbelievable devastation in Kentucky. Please keep those folks in your thoughts.
