Frosty the Snowman

It seems appropriate to be finishing a snowman this week

with the weather being what it's been.

Although, I think very few people have been outside

building snowmen!

This guy has lingered in my cabinet for years,

waiting to be finished.

The embroidery and applique had been done.

All he needed was to be sewn together and stuffed.

His hat and scarf took no time to make.

Frosty is finished 

(except for his branch arms and a bell on his hat)

and ready for display.

This pattern was taken from a book called

"Little Red Hen Snowmen in the Coop"

and has some cute snowmen patterns in it.

 

At the time I started this,

I had planned on making several of these.

That idea has been scrapped

and the fabrics have been put back into my stash.

 

His nose was supposed to be made from clay,

but I thought it would be difficult to store.

He has rice in his bottom to help him stand

and the rest is filled with polyfil.

When it warms up and dries out a bit,

I'll go look for some sticks for his arms.

Another old UFO is finished and out of my cabinet!

 

Happy Quilting!
