A Winter's Tale A Winter’s Tale
By: Gilly,
United Kingdom

This was a fun Christmas project made using a jellyroll of “Blitzen by Basic Grey” for Moda and a sweet red dotty fabric from my stash for the sashing & border. I fussy cut the little snowmen squares and machine quilted with slightly squiggly lines.

And In The Meadow... And In The Meadow…
By: Susan Cook,
Pennsylvania, USA

This quilt is my first original design. When I first published it, I made the carrot button noses from polymer clay and I could make about 60 of them an hour. My hands were stained orange for 3 days after. Since then, I’ve had my buttons made by a company that reproduced one of my handmade buttons.

Christmas Cardinal Christmas Cardinal

This was a challenge to my abilities! I found the paper pieced pattern online at Paper Panache. The tiny pieces almost took my sanity, but I believe it is the most beautiful thing once finished! I gave it to my mom to decorate her house for Christmas.

Dressing For Winter Dressing For Winter
By: Glenda,
British Columbia, Canada

Appliqued children flit about, as bright as winter birds.
Trees are cloaked in snowy shawls, animals change their coats of brown and grey for white and children play outdoors dressed in scarlet and blue, green and gold. The math of mid-winter is simple. Snow plus friends equals fun.

Friends Friends
By: ZSuzsa Benko,
Hungary

I used thread painting for the cheerful little penguins, and then applied them to the middle of the picture.
I designed and stiched the scrolls myself. I used shiny little rhinestones for the embellishment to create the impression of snow or ice shining around them.

Original design. Raw edged fused applique over pieced background. Embellished with sequins, beads, rhinestones, fabric paint, glitter nail polish and glitter and glue. Was inspired in January by the winter snow and wearing winter clothes to stay warm.

Looking Out My Window Looking Out My Window
By: Jenelle Boxberger,
Kansas, USA

I love to decorate with snowmen. I fell in love with this guy that is looking in the window. Some of it is machine embroidered and I pieced it together. I did the quilting on my Brother ULT2003.

This mini was made from June Dudley’s “Snowman Farm” block in the Winter 2010 volume of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks. It makes me smile!

Snowman Quilt Snowman Quilt
By: piecrust,
Georgia, USA

This quilt represents my family and friends as snowmen. Fun to make, and even more fun to characterize someone as a snowman. There is Patti the nurse, Chris the postal worker, Ernie the engineer, Barry the cowboy and Vickie the quilter. Oh, and least I forget Frosty, the traditional snowman.

Snowmen Follies Snowmen Follies
By: Mtn Mama,
Oklahoma, USA

Made of soft flannels this quilt boasts 20 machine embroidered Snowmen blocks. Each snowman is “acting out” in a different way. I designed this quilt during the great Snowstorm of 2011 in Oklahoma.

My son helped pick out the fabrics, and did some of the sewing. Sadly, the thrill of sewing hundreds of blocks wore off after about an hour! :)

Welcome Winter Welcome Winter
By: Julie Cefalu,
California, USA

I started this quilt over two years ago and I made it my January 2013 UFO to finish. The pattern is from Holly Hill Quilt Designs. I love all of the winter elements especially the snow globes and the snowmen. It is machine appliqued and machine quilted by me.

Winter Weekends Winter Weekends
By: Kaaren Biggs,
Ontario, Canada

An extra-long cuddle quilt for my son who is 6′ 7″ tall – snowmobiling is how he relaxes after a busy week in the corporate world! I have made many versions of this design I call Georgetown Squares – it’s quick and easy to make and I call it my “go to” quillt.

Winter Welcome Winter Welcome
By: Nancy,
Utah, USA

My first attempt at applique and I felt the house looked too lonely, so I decided to add a snowman waving hello. This guy hangs on my quilting room door from November until March, welcoming me into my quilting ‘sanctuary’ and ‘stress relief’ room.

    I use Kona “Snow” for an all-purpose white. It seems to go with both cool and warm colours.

    white as a background, but sash with whatever is a suitable

    Lately I have been into the yellow-creams, (verging into pale yellow). It’s been really sunny here the past few days, so maybe I am just trying to rush spring. SOOOOOO ready for winter to be over!

    I tend to use a lot of blues but not necessarily solids. Were I to look in my solid fabric bins, probably I have more shades of blue ready to use than any other color.

    I used light pink for my last quilt because that was what I had on hand, but think I’ll be switching to white or cream for future ones.

    Oh my, the quilts this week are so charming, it was very difficult to choose.
    When I dó my own sewing, I guess green solid is my number one colour, simply because my stash is overflowing with green solids. They seem to grow in number lol. I really love green, it makes the Warmer colours shine.

    White is kind of my go-to solid, but it’s not actually solid usually, more tone-on-tone.

    Great work everyone! It was hard to select only 3!

    I am not really partial to any one colour. but if I look at my scrap bins, blue and white/lights are over flowing these days.

    I use dark blue. And that is because the quilts I make are all tardis quilts. Though when I make other quilts I usually use a pannel and not a lot of solid.
