Burr there’s a chill in the air!
It’s May 5th can you believe it? Are you ready for block five of Snowbound? To think that once a month these little snowmen take over our lives! If you’re following along with my free block of the month I think you’ll be glad you did. The quilt is looking pretty cute!
My snowbound quilt is at the quilter’s, embellishments and all! My quilter Lynne took pity on me and agreed to quilt around the embellishments. This is an exception and not the norm, so please don’t do this do your quilter. Wait to sew on all those buttons until your quilt is quilted. I don’t want emails coming to me from all the quilters out there! Promise me won’t you?
If you’re working on my “Snowbound” quilt, start collecting snowmen as soon as the Christmas decorations appear. I’m going to show you how to decorate for Christmas with this quilt and you’ll want a stash of snowmen to go with it! Lots of them! Fair warning: You have 7 months!
I love it when I can introduce a new quilt pattern and today is the day! “Tiny Town” is here! It’s my newest block of the month! I had so much fun designing this quilt! Just think what you can do with this little town! Make it your own by embroidering your house number, shop names, local schools and even your friend’s houses. While you’re at it pick out a new car and fill it up with gas! “Tiny Town” is your town!
There’s so much more to come. May is going to be a fun, fun month!
Back soon!
Hugs to all you “Snowbound” quilters!
Hugs,
Anne

Tiny Town is adorable Anne — I want to swing on the little swing in the schoolyard! I can hardly wait to meet you and your trusty assistant at Sample Spree — I’ve already scoped out the cupcakery and have planned how we assistants can sneak away to stock up on cupcakes and starbucks for our queens!

that school and swing set is TOO CUTE!!! I have a 4 year old and the swing is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the park experience…then the slide, then the running =) thank you, if I didn’t feel overcommitd at the moment I would sign up…maybe when things settle down =)

Love your new BOM town quilt. What a great idea! I already have the snowmen to go with the SnowBound quilt. Now to just get around to starting the quilt. I really think I want to use wool but do not have a stash of wool. What to do? Shop????

I love, love, love Tiny Town! I love the town, I love the name, I love the fabrics and colors, I love that the deli is right next door to the quilt shop and that the UPS truck is not far behind to make fresh deliveries!

I heart Tiny Town…it’s just so perfect! May is definitely one of my favorite months…it’s so fun to learn of all the new fabrics and designs!
Tina
Do you have any suggestions for a novice (me!) to learn how to applique? I’ve taken hand applique classes from local quilt shops and thus far, it’s a fairly frustrating process….especially as I see the beautiful patterns and quilts done by others.

Anne, 2 days of wonderful eye candy. I was bemoaning the fact I haven’t yet begun the basket quilt and now I am so filled with ideas and inspired by the talent in the Flickr group. And Tiny Town…sigh….
