Crabapple Hill embroidery pattern
I’ve been trying to find a pattern for a Crabapple Hill pattern for a long time. It features snowmen in different quilting scenarios on each block.
I know nothing about Crabapple Hill patterns and cannot find information about them. Does anyone out there have information that would help me?

From what I understand, Meg Hawkey of Crabapple Hill retired and closed her business last year.
Google can be your friend here, as I see many Crabapple Hill patterns being offered via links to IRL and virtual shopping.
While I remember a lot of her patterns with snowmen in different scenarios, I don't recall one with the snowmen doing quilting!! Oh how FUN that would be to work on.
You have me totally intrigued. I would love to stitch along with you, if you find the pattern!
@Grammahunt Good Luck in your quest!

QuiltE: Thanks. I'll let you know if I ever find the pattern. I seen the quilt on Pinterest and have been searching ever since that day. I tried to load a photo here to no avail. I'm not as computer saavy as I used to be.

@Grammahunt ... Thanks! You could try loading the Pinterest Link, if you still have it. There's some pretty good sleuths here, that might have luck in finding it for us!
I did one embroidered snowman quilt. Not a CrabApple Hill pattern, but a mish-mash of patterns I found. Every block has the snowman/women doing something different. Two blocks have them with masks on, as I did most of the stitching during COVID, I figured, why not?

Oh that is an even better bunch of snowmen than I was hoping ... and now I really do hope that someone can find it for both of us.
I've been doing my own ISOs, but only find that original pinterest posting that you had found. And could not find a link from there to help us.

No that is not a Crabapple hill pattern. I made that pattern but no longer have it, let me look and see if by any chance I wrote the company on my label.
Yay! It is a Chickadee Hollow Pattern. It only came as blocks and you needed to make your own setting.

OMG! thimblebug6000 you are amazing. Thank you so very much. I've waited and searched a couple years for the perfect pattern to light my embroidery fire. I'm off and running. QuiltE, I hope you join this journey. I'm a happy camper today.
