pooka, how tall is flint? he looks about 5'9 to me......is that 'really tall'?

The snowman and bunny's expressions are perfect!

@ Razz- you wouldn't happen to be in the DFW area would you??? IF so we could surly get together on some projects!

I'm imagining a bunch of curmudgeons, grumbling and gesticulating as they stitch...
(sorry, Pooka!)

Do you young LADYS that are into makin quilts, know that years ago some magazines put a quilt patch in each months mag. Maybe progressive farmer?
Damn I''m old

Flint is 6'1" a whole foot taller than I am...

Most blankets if they cover his feet come only mid way across his chest. Even the oversized I've found... just don't get it.

Quilt patch in a mag... how very cool...

Turn the blankets the other way. :haha:

The original bitch and stitch!

Lol... yep. I have a t-shirt that says "Ladies sewing circle and terrorist society" it is circa 1972...

Pooka- I'm assuming I'm not in the DFW area, since I don't know what that is. :) (though if you're ever around these here parts, definitely feel free to drop by...flint can come too I suppose...if he's willing to tear out stitches in case of mistakes :D)

buster - there's new hip magazines that do that in a "retro-fun" sort of way...only I still haven't cracked the code to their websites to figure out how to get on the mailing list for any of them yet

I almost forgot... how could I... the most important present I made this year:

I wrote a book for my kids

Papa's snuggle blankie also can be used on boy monkeys:

The most important part is making sure they're exactly the same size. Are you using a rotary cutter or doing it with scissors? Getting them just right is almost impossible with the scissors. Then when you pin them together, you make sure all the seams match up and pin them right on the seams.

I'm generally pretty good with square corners but still have to work on getting points right (like with half square triangles, pinwheel designs, stars, etc.) and that's a matter of measuring those 1/4" seam allowances just precisely.

Yup, I know. But now we can find them all here:

I gave my mom the snowman on christmas eve with the rest of the family there...


She laughed so hard that she cried, and couldn't explain what it was to anyone...it was great :D
