We Can Build A Snowman: Block 10

3/4/2019

 
I know I am not alone in saying that February has been an interesting month, especially in regards to the weather.  We started the month here in Southern Oregon with our snowpack at 60% of normal and ended it with those numbers jumping to 118%.  Most of our new snow came in the last week and closed down major highways, interstates and even the passenger trains.  We have quite a few deer that wander through our backyard and I snapped a photo of these two in the midst of one of our very snowy days.

We do not live far from Crater Lake National Park, normally we take a trip up there to photograph our beautiful blue lake after a good snowfall but that is not possible right now.  Crater Lake shared this photo from this weekend-those buildings are two stories high.  Last report I saw they got over 123 inches but that was before the snow event had ended.

I am sure all of this makes our snowmen very happy.  One of the reasons we like to go up to Crater Lake on a cold and snowy winter day is to stay and take in the stars at night.  The air is so clear at that elevation and the sky affords amazing views-at least for those brave few who bundle up for the very cold nighttime temps.

I knew I needed a stargazing snowman in my quilt and titled this month's block
​"Ain't it Thrilling."

My testers had fun with this block and made some creative changes with their fabric choices.

I have made a video tutorial to help you with making the Quarter-square triangles.
I used a new embroidery stitch for the star and made a little video tutorial for it as well.
I hope you enjoy making this month's block as much as I did.  And I hope that wherever you are you are safe and loved no matter what is happening outside your door.

​Happy Quilting!

Cute snowman. Bee live in Central Oregon and our snow event still seems to be happening to a lesser degree. I’m really looking forward to spring.
