Snowbound

is an official flimsy!

I decided not to include the embroidered snowflakes that were on the original.  
I'm not that good at embroidery, so I would not want to ruin it at this point.

While searching for a lost quilt in my "quilt closet," the one with the warning sign on the door, I decided it was time to make something out of all the random blocks I have collected.
I choose my favorite house blocks and put them together into this little fellow.  I was inspired by Temecula Quilt Co.'s version.
I also quilted and framed my twisted heart from a few years back.
Now I just have Farmer's Wife blocks, Barbara Brackman Civil War blocks and two collections of exchange blocks to figure out what to do with. 

We had a lovely visit over Thanksgiving week in northern California. Now it is time to decorate for Christmas!  I don't think I will get to any of my blockhead projects until the end of the month, BUT...I am working on 2 cross-stitch ornaments!  Stay tuned.  Mary and Darlene will get a laugh out of this one.

  2. Love snowbound! Snowmen and I go hand in hand. LOL Cross stitching? Oh my, you are brave! I did it years ago, but my eyes can't handle the tiny linen anymore. Have fun!

  3. Nice job on all three projects. Rather than starting new I should get some others finished too. Thanks for sharing.
