Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Winter Village

Snowman village 1

These are all the blocks I have made so far for the 2015 Designer Mystery BOM. Five buildings and four snowmen blocks. Several people have asked about the pattern and where they can get it. It is available on the Fatquartershop for $59.98 for the twelve building blocks and the finishing layout/blocks pattern. 

Snowman layout 2

This is the layout I am doing. Except, I am making the quilt wider and putting the top and bottom borders on the sides. I'll do the top as well if I have enough fabric. I prefer my quilts to drape over the sides of the bed.

Four snowmen blocks

These are the four alternate snowman blocks. I will probably embroider eyes and mouths. The pattern calls for button faces, but I am not sure that's a good idea.

Mug rug 2

This is how I wasted spent the morning yesterday. I just had to have a new holiday mug rug. No pattern, I just kind of made it up. The tree section does measure 6" finished.

Trees in neighborhood 2

I drive past these trees several times a day and decided to stop and take a picture before the leaves all fall off. Isn't that the most gorgeous juxtaposition of colors? It makes me so happy to see it.

Friday, yay! Hope your weekend is splendid.

  1. So this morning I can read your blog– but no pictures! Hopefully it’s a problem on my end– LOL. You sure are killing it with the snowman piece! I’m sure it’s very gratifying to the person who sent it to you to see it finally coming to life. xoxo

  10. I have pictures and they are fun, cute snowmen! We have an inch or two of the really wet snow on the ground this morning, and they picked up the last of our leaves yesterday. Yes, we’ve moved into winter.

  16. The photos are showing now, but I’m a little later than the first commenters. I used the fabric line in the mug rug for a wall hanging last year & it’s one of my favorites. Your buildings & snowmen are coming together so nicely! You’re going to love that quilt! We have -5F temps this morning so I guess that means we’re officially into Winter here! ⛄️

  22. Glad you stopped to snap a pic of those gorgeous trees! Sometimes we regret not doing things like that when it’s too late to do it. Love your snowman project and mug rug, too!

  28. Oh I love how this quilt is looking and thank you for the link, I think I will get it. Might have to substitute the snowmen as they aren’t really a thing where we live
    PS: Love the mug rug too

  34. Your winter village is looking so cute! If you decide to add the buttons for the snowmen, I would add them after the quilting is done. I am sorely tempted to get this pattern!
