Be careful if you wait to long, you might not be able to find them. Most BOM patterns are retired shortly after the BOM is done.

I have thought of that, and even have a few pictures that I have found when I was getting ready to make my sister's birthday present. Maybe I will take a look at that this afternoon.

They kind of look like pictures from a child's coloring book. Maybe, as suggested by others, you could gather some cute similar pictures and do your own. Coloring book pages would be simple to copy and you could make little changes to suit your own taste.

Why don't you check ebay for the patterns only. I know the Crabapple snow man pattern was on the site for sale. I got a couple of the crab apple patterns for way less than they originally cost. You can also look for other snowman patterns, too.

Just for giggles, go into the Quilt Doodles site. She has an adorable snowman quilt - the free 2014 BOM.

I think those pictures are the results of many different quilters. I got to see one in person at a show, and I think that is when I fell in love.

If you doing applique for these blocks, all of the Children's coloring books at Christmastime have loads of Snowmen, or you could draw your own
