Golden Quilts
From McCall's Quick Quilts January 2005


Br-r-ringing 'em comfort and sew much joy!

Warm 'em Up!
Designed by Pat Sloan

Finished Snowman Appliqué Size 4 1/2" x 11 1/4"

Plan It Up!
Pat's fanciful snowman will perk up your purchased hooded sweatshirt in no time! You may need to reduce the size of the pattern if you plan to use it on a child's shirt. It would also look great on the end of a wool scarf. Pat added a strip of ribbon as a zipper pull, with buttons on the ends. Do likewise if you wish.
