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.

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.[/quote]


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

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.
