I have been looking and looking ... I've even went to the 'coloring' pages ... but can't find a snowman / snowpeople / snowwoman pattern that is "cute" and "free" ... or even one I could purchase.

I did a search on this site ... but everyone I've went through so far is no longer working ...

I think I'm going to have to make my own patterns to use ... this isn't going to be pretty ya'll

Any suggestions or patterns you all know of that you'd be willing to share (if allowed by the pattern copyright) ... OR any ideas to help me make my own pattern ...?

Thanks

What kind of snowman are you looking for? Give us a hint to what you think is 'cute'.

Take a look at these - they are free:

If you scroll to the right on this site & look at Jan thru Dec of 2009, they are all snowpeople appliques:

Thanks so much there's a few there I will definitely use ... I'm also looking for a snow couple ... didn't do a search ... did a search on snow people :)

Check out this website:
http://with-heart-and-hands.blogspot...-patterns.html

Scroll down to "snowman".

ok--there are plenty online. here's a tip [you may know]

when you see the google logo on the homepage, do NOT type in the search box. LOOK in the UPPER LEFT corner. CLICK on IMAGES, now when the searchbox comes up, TYPE snowman quilt pattern, there are pages of them!!! This is how you find IMAGES first, then websites. it is a sort of shortcut. just BE SPECIFIC when you use it & you will get more of what you are looking for.

or this (which I think I can use and enlarge ... I believe I'm going to make my own) ...

there is a web site giving free BOM patterns. I'm pretty sure it was www.bunnyhill.com

Try here and see if you find anything.

yes bunny hill has a cute snowman BOM going on right now. it is free you just have to watch each month to get the patterns but you can still get the patterns from the last 3 months

when all else fails, find a children's coloring book that has winter subjects in it and I"m sure you'll fins a snowman pattern to trace and use as an applique.

Thanks for the tip on the search. I never knew that. It makes things a lot easier.

THANKS EVERYONE ... I love the fact this group is so helpful!

Only a few snowmen here but lots of other cute stuff

The children's coloring books these days are a far cry from the ones of my childhood with the simple line drawings. I've been looking in them at the stores and find very few that have the kind of drawings I am looking for.

Two here:

I find mine in the dollar store, Walmart, etc. Sometimes in school supply stores, etc. Found my stock several years ago and keep using them again and again so maybe things have changed. The series I have (bought 6 out of a series of 10) is marked as "beginning coloring" for the very young children.

I"ve also found very simple designs by checking out teacher resource sites on-line...not just quilting resources. Good luck.

This is a cute pattern I've used.

Hang in there. I was looking for an eagle and the old forum came to my rescue. Several times.

I have a paper piece snowman? Would that do? Also an applique snowman. If you PM me with your address, I'll send it to you.

thanks for the info on google will try it for a bargello pattern thanks for all the sites will check them out

They have some really nice ones here:

Just click on any of them and then reset your screen to 400%

I looked thru ALL my back issues of (1990 to now) of all the quilt & art mags I have. No luck :(

Thanks everyone .... I've got tons of sources now :) You all are the bestest :D

Oooo!! The Snow Stars just gave me a wonderful idea for a holiday quilt project!!! TY Maride.

This page has lots of them.

Have you checked out Bunny Hill Designs? She's posted a snowman block of the month. Maybe one of them will fill the bill. It's a free pattern.

Go to Amazon and check out the books by Pat Olson. She has adorable stuff and is very reasonable.

Does anyone have the link to the snowman on bunnyhill.com?
I can't seem to find it. Thanks.

not free, but great pattern, Snow Family. I have made it. then lost it. I also know the designer. scroll to the bottom of this page, on the right.

Someone awhile back said to google coloring sheets, like cat coloring sheets or snowman and that works great too.

Naughty naughty viciki, I did NOT need to see another new project that I love. Now I wanna do it!

Here is the Snowman BOM from Bunny Hill, called "Snowbound".

Hi go to fat cat designs, or fat cat quilting, i found some ther. good luck

sometimes i go to bing or google under images and look for an outline or something that's easy to applique. id just did this recently. good luck

You can also try www.fatcatpatterns.com. She has lots of free patterns on her website and they are all categorized. You might find something you like there. She has a great block of the month Christmas row quilt going on right now and it might be another one you would be interested in.

On the fat cat link ... unfortunately I missed the snowmen... I might have to purchase it tho ... it is just way too cute ...

I think I have a couple bookmarked on my laptop, unfortunately I have a virus on it and need to get that fixed; currently I am on my son's.

also check out FatCat Patterns. Sindy has some snowmen on this site for free.

I bet if you went to the library there would be a debbie mumm quilt book you could check out. She made some really cute ones.
