Is There a Better Deal?
 

I'm thinking someday (when I have money) I'd like to start buying the patterns for the Snowman Collector BOM. My sister has given me two, and they are so cute I'd like to do all twelve. I looked online and the best price I saw was $8.50 each.

Oh how cute. 8.50 is good deal. Because I just pulled them up for a site that is selling them $22.50.

Yes, I saw the $22.50 also. They come with fabric, but I want to use my own.

That seems to be the average price now a days for a pattern. Good luck.

Am I crazy or is this what you are looking for?

Yes, that's it. I think there is so much potential for them, because you have so many colors to choose from.

Isn't that site just a conglameration of pics of different snowmen quilts......I don't see any consistency of design...maybe I am missing something here

Why not just collect your own snowman patterns? I have seen so many different Snowman blocks in magazines, etc. I would just collect all of those and put them together into a quilt. Just like the houses, I have several magazines, etc. with patterns for quilt blocks with houses, I would just do each one and put them together into my own quilt. How much more unique it would be????? Just a thought from a newbie. :-)

Have u thought of making your own pattern...snowmen are so easy to make..all the trees and etc.are easy too..Try a few patterns ..if u need the pictures to look at..go to the sites ..get a few ideas..it can be fun..plus very rewarding to know u did it all..Just an idea.

Some of us do better with patterns.

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.

Even though looking at a picture and designing your own LOOKS SOOO EASY.

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
