Block for December 2009
"Snowman"
(12 of 12)
|
What does a Snowman do all year? Look for love, of course! Enjoy a Snowy friend without having to go out in the cold. This will be a series of 12 blocks, (one for each month of the year). You can make small wall-quilts to be changed out every month, or put them in one big bed quilt. The blocks are 10” by 10”. Go on a treasure hunt for specialty fabrics, buttons, and trims to deck out your Snowman for every month. The great thing about these snowpeople is that they won’t melt – your hard work won’t disappear on a warm day!

Piecing Instructions:
- Cut templates of the design.
- Blocks should be 10" x 10" to allow room for brick-a-brack.
- Using the templates cut and apply applique pieces. If you have not appliqued before, check our "Tips and Techniques" page on our website.
- Using stitches as you desire, stitch around the various pieces. With contrasting fabrics you may choose not to use a decorative stich.
