    Happy you are back to Quilting ...your projects are lovely. Do you have a name for the fabric you used for your snowmen?
    I love the sparkle and sheen it gives the snowmen. Thanks for the great pictures!

    The fabric I used for the bodies of the snowmen is a fleece with large clear glitter embedded on it. I've had it around for probably 10+ years and I assumed I bought it at JoAnne's before I moved up here 11 years ago so sorry. Just checked and there is no info on the selvage edge. Bought a couple yards with no idea what I would use it for but remembered I had it stuffed somewhere and it worked perfectly for this project. I also keep all the small scraps of this fabric in case I need it as I'm sure I'll never find more of it. I haven't bought fabric since Nov 2019 as I have a large stash on hand. Need to use what I've got before I even think of buying more.

    I know folks will say they don't have the right fabric for a project so what I do is make the project work for what fabrics I have.

    Wow!! Such vibrant colors and each piece comes alive with a life of its own. Even the snowmen are alive. You have done wonders with these projects.
