Snow Folks...
Quilts of winter's to come...so many quilts, so little time. Sigh. This is called Through a Winter Window by Pearl Louise Krush and was published in the 2004 holiday issue of The Quilter magazine where I found the pattern.
small dreams no houses as long as a train with places feet never touch no rooms decorated in hues stark and plain no notice of tax that could instead pay for college just a cottage wild ferns a yard stretching forever alive with prairie grass and sounds of pleasant insects making hay a trail to the river sounds of water faint lines of lights miles and miles away... this too then... a place to write where I can see nesting birds just beyond the wooden windowsill a small spot as plain as me where my words can hum in the quiet and where my simple heart is always warm....
These snowmen are so cute. I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
ReplyDeleteCute snowmen. Mary is getting snow now, are you?
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
What a cutie, oh snow would be so nice. We had a touch of it yesterday, but it didn't last long.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, and thank you so much for visiting my blog today.
ReplyDeleteI love your header. I have made my first quilt top and it has green (my favourite colour) between the pattern blocks too.
I have become stuck with basting the top and bottom and haven't done any work on it for quite some time.

Merry Christmas! Cute snowmen. :)
ReplyDeleteStill catching up...Love your snowman quilt.
ReplyDeleteI received this pattern in a Secret Sister swap in Dec. He is all cut out and ready to be put together. Isn't he sweet!
