Happy! Happy!

I had ordered Bunny Hill's Postcard Cuties for Winter kit and pattern about two weeks ago.  When it came, I set it aside in the hopes that I might finish another larger WIP.   But...now that the Snowbound quilt BOM is done, I was starting to miss the little snowguys.  Last night I pulled out the kit and looked it over.  A lot more piecework than there was in Snowbound, but it has twelve more little snow buddies!  The other good thing is that the applique portion for each block is the size of a postcard (4 1/2" x 6 1/2").  Quite small, hence the quick finish for Block #1:

(The seams in the block are straight, it is the angle at which I took the picture that makes it seem slanted.)

Too cute, huh?

Last Block

Here she is!! A cute little snow angel all dressed up and ready to go...I am thinking maybe she has her purse 'cause she is getting ready to do a little Christmas shopping! ;)

I am going to miss receiving my little snowbuddies each month from Anne at Bunny Hill Designs.  But, hold on...Anne says she has something in the works for another freebie Block of the Month next year.  

I almost forgot to post a picture of this one, since she has been finished since November. It was just by chance that I saw a little blurb  from Anne on the Snowbound Flickr group that we could request the December block early. Anne had asked that anyone who finished wait until the last block was released.

OK, I lied....

sorry 'bout that.  I was going to post my pictures yesterday, but got totally distracted with something new.  It's that SADD kicking in again...you know...Stitcher's Attention Deficit Disorder...;)  But, first here at least is a picture of the All Cooped Up quilt top...and, no, I didn't press it...sorry.  It is hanging by magnets on my closet doors in the bedroom.

And my Snowbound quilt top (although incomplete) was left at Bears Paw Fabrics.  The owner is interested in making a model for her shop and wanted to use mine for some ideas.  It'll be home soon, ready for the new block on the 5th of next month. :)

But I started a fun, new project....I initially was going to make one for a friend of mine as a gift.  She collects anything and everything snowmen related.  It is a snowman Advent calendar.  Too cute.  So after buying the needed felt at Bears Paw yesterday, I came home and traced a lot of snowballs. Since I decided to also make one for myself...50 snowballs to be exact...plus 50 linings for the snowballs and 50 little, tiny snowmen heads as well as cutting 50 little scarfs for these chilly guys. :)  Here's a link to the finished product  :Chilly Willies (my nickname for these little guys). 

Here's a picture of my 50 little snowballs with the embroidery started for all the numbers:

And, now onto all the blanket stitching and embroidery!
