Snowman Quilt for my Mom & Dad for Christmas is finally finished...The quilt blocks were pieced and then layered with batting and backing. Quilted in-the-ditch. I built the snowman blocks, digitizing the stippling and block border then all the quilting was done in the hoop. I digitized the Snowflake name blocks with the names of their great grands...Then I digitized the Let it Snow border...I am very happy with how this turned out...Thanks for looking, Cuties!

This is something to be proud of, something for them to cherish.Did you pin it all together after you sandwiched, and free motion, stipple it, starting in the middle? I would love to be able to do something like this.
1 comment
Yes...sandwiched the blank blocks, pinned, stitched in the ditch on the block and border joinings, then embroidered/quilted the rest all in the hoop...really enjoyed the process! Thanks for your kind words!

WOW!!! This is amazing and an heirloom. I love it and your digitizing extras really make it special. Lucky parents!
I hope you put a label on the back with your full name, made for names and location with year. That way when they do a quilt hunt in that state in 50 or 100 years they will have that info. And it should be appraised if you can find someone to do it. You would be amazed at the value!! I had a bunch of mine appraised several years ago thru the guild and I was astounded..

Yes, the quilt label is the last thing to add...still deciding on the design...never thought of getting my quilts appraised...that is food for thought...I have made a number of them...some of them are hand painted and quilted combinations...
