"The Family Reunion"

      Back on Thursday when I decided to work on my Snow Days quilt I couldn't find one of the embroidery units so I had to search in my old sewing room downstairs.  I keep a lot of kits and extra fabric down there...  Well, I found the piece and then I happened to pull down one of those project boxes that wasn't labeled and could not believe what was in it.  There were some patterns and a pile of fabric. 
I'd just been talking to my friend Michelle about her "Hot Chocolate" BOM that she picked up again last week after a long time too.  I'd remarked that I thought maybe I "dreamed" that I'd done it and after a lot of searching thru my room I couldn't find it with other BOM's.....How it got on top of an old sewing machine is anyone's guess. 
      I was really excited thinking I could put my "Hot Chocolate" project together too....  I started texting Michelle pictures of the 2 blocks and we realized that I had a different snowman project called "The Family Reunion" and coincidentally, it was a Pearl Louise Design as well, and put out on the market around the same time as the Hot Chocolate.
      I collected up my fusible, found a nice blue/snow background fabric and started tracing today.  I'm going to redo the 2 I had done a few years ago because I think I like the background fabric I have now.
Here are the 3 blocks I've finished so far....

Those blocks are too cute! Found some
Christmas/snowman kits this summer when I moved my sewing room that I want to get made up -still doing Christmas quilting. Then there's 2 baby quilts I need to make...the list goes on! Can't wait to see the rest of your blocks!

Your blocks are just beyond cute! I have never done any applique but I think I might just have to try it some time. My dear mother-in-law just loves snowmen, so it would make a great gift for her.

I think they are absolutely adorable---wish I had the patterns, I would make one too. :)

Peg: I just found mine, but only have bom 2-7. Do you possibly have the rest of the patterns I could purchase from you? Thanks

Angie: I am done with mine and would give them to you, only have blocks 2-7, but am going to add other Pearl Louise snowmen I have collected.
