Christmas & Winter

It’s finally a Quilt!

Snowmen are coming to town this holiday season!   It’s Snowbound time at Bunny Hill!  There’s nothing like finishing a quilt and being able to finally use it!  If you’ve joined me in making Snowbound, I hope you’ll enjoy yours as much as I’m enjoying mine!

I’ve gathered up a few of my favorite snowmen and Snowbound is hanging in my dining room for the holidays.  Come on in!

They key to a good display is to vary the height. You can easily create height with a few empty boxes, some scraps of your favorite quilting fabric, ribbon and pins.  You can reuse the fabric after Christmas so don’t worry about giving up your favorite fabric!  If you have a few cake stands, get them out.  If not, just use boxes!

Enlarge the photo below and you’ll see I’ve used tiny applique pins in place of tape to wrap the packages.  I pressed the fabric after it was on the box.

If you don’t have enough ribbon you can piece what you have with pins! No one will notice when your display is complete!

Of course I used my Lily & Will  fabric to wrap the boxes!

To complete the look I filled a vintage dough bowl on my dining room table with red Christmas balls and blue & ivory candles…

Even the little lamb on the hutch got a blue box to stand on!

Being Snowbound just doesn’t get any better!

Hurry and maybe you can finish your Snowbound quilt.  I can’t wait to see them all!  Email me photos or post your photos to my Flickr group!  Sharing is the most fun of all!

Hugs,

Anne

    Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity by sharing your patterns – I am making a Redwork Snowbound quilt, as I decorate red, white and lime green in kitchen and on tree. Love your colors and your site.

    Anne, I love seeing your Christmas displays, always such perfect attention to every little detail! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us :-)
    I LOVE the Snowbound quilt! I am behind in my blocks, sometimes life gets in the way of quilting, but I’m going to resume after the holidays and can’t wait to finish, am determined to use this quilt before winter ends :-)

    Thank you Anne for the last block.
    It is just as delightful as the 11 previous ones.
    The whole forms a beautiful quilt.
    Thank you for this gift.
    The small decorations below are chosen with taste, they match well with the quilt.
    Congratulations Anne.
