*Warning... silly poetry ahead... lol..
Oh, the hot weather may be frightful,
Thinking of Christmas in summer is delightful
(For our blog hop), I have a few blocks I've sewn,
Wanna find out what is in that sneak peek I've previously shown?..
Let it snow,
Let it snow,
Let it snow...
I couldn't resist making a happy snowman block, complete with a bright hat.
Then I thought I would make a couple of small snowman blocks, but as often happens with me...
I got caught up in trying them out in other colour combinations. It wasn't long before I had a family of smiling faces!
My next design is for a snowflake block - thanks to this pillow I made last winter.
Having a project in mind for the snowflake block, I determined I wanted a smaller version and came up with a slightly different snowflake in 6.5".
Not finished with block making for my new project, I reduced the snowman I designed (used in these pillows) to make a new block.

I designed a 12.5" Snowman face - the basic block is pieced then applique details are added along with borders. |

My 6.5" version of the large snowman head. (I added a background strip to accomodate the applique pom-pom for the hat). |

The finished project? A table runner to match those pillows I made last winter!
A matched set!
Thanks so much for visiting me and letting me share with you. Christmas may be a few months off, but it's not to early to start sewing for it.
Here's more "Think Christmas" inspiration to get your creative juices flowing.
Have fun visiting these talented ladies and be sure to say "hello"...
