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 soooo much for the wonderful snowmen! I have been avidly collecting these cuties and can now get busy making this darling quilt! I use snowmen for all my Christmas decorating and have been wanting to add a quilt of them for my display wall next to my Christmas tree full of snowmen ornaments and now I can!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Good morning Anne! Your decorations are so beautiful. I would like to thank you for mentioning the quilt shop In Between Stitches In Livermore. My husband…not so much. I have to drive up to San Francisco at regular intervals to pick up my daughter when she comes home for long breaks from the Academy of Art where she is a student. We fly her home for short visits but due to her roommate (my grandcat Maynard), when she has long school vacations, Maynard has to come too! I could not fathom the idea of my daughter hustling a backpack and cat carrier on the Bart, on to the bus and then thru Oakland airport. It is easier for me to drive up and snatch them. I love the drive up the 5. It is my 5 hour retreat. HOWEVER by Livermore I start to get antsy and could use a break for various reasons! I always wondered if there would be a quilt store some where along the drive, not too far off the freeway…and lo and behold you provided me a quilt store just where I could use a rest stop!!!! It does not appear too far from the 580 which is PERFECT!! Thanks tons!!!Now besides being excited about going up to snatch my daughter and kitty in a few weeks, I also have a new quilt shop to explore. Did you receive your new cottage yet?Thanks again!!
