Been so hot here, that I've been working on a project inside!
I had bought a 'kit' to make this adorable Holly Jolly Snowman quilt a few years back. Decided it was time to get it out and get the top done! :-) And I thought that looking at snowmen might just cool me off! LOLOL
The kit contained the pattern and all the fabrics needed to complete the top. This was my first ever kit. I was really disappointed to find that some of the prints had been swapped out (not all from the same line of fabric), so wouldn't look exactly like the picture on the pattern and that even some of the yardages had been changed to less than the pattern called for. I was a little miffed. I thought buying the kit was the easy way out, but would have all the holly jolly fabrics needed. This was a splurge-spur of the moment purchase, which I rarely do and was quite pricey. Some of the swapped fabrics I didn't like, so I took them out and used a few of my own!
This was also my first time ever using a purchased pattern. It actually went really well and I learned so much! So was a really awesome project in the end for me!
I have the batting and backing to complete, but will wait a bit before I tackle that! I have some projects for my website to complete (hint the title of the next set is Flashback!)
Have a great day everyone
