"Skinnie" Wall Hangings & More

I know it seems early to start making winter decor, but if I don't start now it won't get done. So today I decided to make a snowman wall hanging that has been an idea in my head for awhile now.   


  I used Heat Bond Iron on Adhesive on all the material parts that I drew out. That way I didn't have to sew each and every piece on separately. I added yarn fringe to his little scarf and used pipe cleaners for his little twig arms. This was a quick easy project, which makes me wonder why I waited to so long to make it. Now I have "skinnies" for almost every season of the year. I made the snowman one up on my own rather than using the Quiltmaker Magazine pattern for the winter one because all of my winter stuff is snowman and their pattern was a candlestick. 

This is my Spring Skinnie. I made it last year sometime using a pattern from Quiltmaker Magazine. 

The is my Fall Skinnie. I also made this last year from a Quiltmaker Magazine pattern. 

All 3 together! 

 I also quilted a few quilts the past few weeks for my Mom and Grandma. I had them both working on the same pattern using fat quarters and these quilts went together really quick! 

Mom's Quilt

Close up of the quilting I did. She liked it because it looks like a sunburst she said. 

Grandma Nancy's Quilt

Back of Grandma's quilt to show the quilting I did on it. 

 I also finished up my Swoon top last week, but it will be awhile until I get it quilted. I still have to decide on backing for it. My unfinished pile is still pretty small. I only have my Swoon and one other quilt that need finished. I still need backing for both of them. All in good time though!
