First pic: Found $2 Jaylynn Christmas cross stitches at Spotlight. I wanted something that I could carry to do in the car while we moved. Never actually did them in the car, but they were nice portable projects.

Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
Modified table runner pattern. Added an extra snowflake block and made two. Used skinny heart shaped buttons for nose. Added star burst beads to hanging loops.
Quilting Notes/Techniques
Ditch quilted snowman body, then free motion quilted loops inside body using 50wt gutterman thread. Probably should have done outside channel quilting first, and more densely, to help prevent distortion. This project would have greatly benefited from trimming, but I didn’t think to do it, and blocking, which I didn’t know about then. Attempted to use silver metallic thread in snowflake, but kept shredding. Need to use larger topstitch needle next time.

Quilt Top Notes/Techniques
Was bored on Christmas Eve so went to Sewco and picked up this Espresso kit. It was pretty expensive. Pattern was easy. Would be good option for annual Christmas ornaments one year.
