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

Anne, Your decorating is just amazing. It’s like a winter wonderland and I love it. We are in a mess with the remodel in our upstairs so there won’t be any decorating here except my Nativity in the family room downstairs. We have lots of stuff stacked down there too keep out of the way of the work but we made sure that half the room is kept organized, for my sanity, LOL. BUT, next year I will be able to really decorate and I am taking note of all your terrific advice. I hope to have an applique version of “Snowbound” completed for next year. Thank you Anne so much for the gift of “Snowbound” it is so delightful and will be a decoration to be used every year. Block twelve is absolutely wonderful…a perfect finish! Thanks again, so very much. Hugs…
