I have tried EVERYTHING to get it vertical. HELP ME!!!
It's called "Snow People Have lives, Too". If you turn your head to the side, the quilt tells a little story. Here is my DH's version: The snowman in the top is a poor pathetic guy, he meets someone, gets married but inevitably goofs off and makes her mad. In the final block, the snow woman is happy, she is with her child and they are getting ready for Christmas. To my DH it's obvious that she dumped the loser snowman.
Here is the second quilt I just finished. It's called "Audrey's Gift." One of my fellow guild member, Audrey, knowing my fondness for 1/2 square triangles, gifted me a box of them.. A box the size of a ream of paper STUFFED with them. It wouldn't seem that you could get much from a box that size, but so far I have made a bed-sized quilt, a small wall hanging (UFO :( still) and this one. I had a lot of fun combing through the squares and trying to come up with a color scheme.The borders are actually even -- my photo skills are NOT!
Check out the contest. There are some Fabulous prizes that will be given away.
Enjoy.
I use I photo library, and all I need to do is right click on the link that says rotate, then I rotate my picture until it is how I want it. You will eventually figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI just adore snowmen, they are all so cute.
You should check out my sewing challenge blog, here at Paula's Sewing Challenges, you could enter both these christmas projects, and be in a chance of winning a little something, something.
Never mind the photo, your quilt is beautiful anyway.

Both of your quilts are just adorable...love the snowman story...LOL. I collect snow people and the nice part of them vs. Christmas "thingys" is the snow people can stay out long after the holiday is over. I like that! Plus, they go sooo well with red, a favorite color of mine. Great job CHris.
ReplyDeleteI publish my pics from Picasa 3 and it allows you to rotate, crop, zoom in, adjust color, etc. Hugs, Finn
I pupazzi di neve sono molto simpatici!
ReplyDeleteIl secondo quilt è delizioso!
Ciao Domenica
I love the second quilt, although both are nice. The second one has so much color and design in it. It's beautiful.
