Does anyone remember the forum BOM where people signed up to design a quilt block and the theme was the Snowmen??

I found the Strolling The Block BOM, Isabella's Garden BOM, Every Birdies Home Tweet Home BOM but could not find the snowmen.

Can anyone help with the name of the BOM?

I must have forgotten about the Snow Cottages.

The snowmen were designed by various board members... I believe one of the designers went by a nickname of "Calico"

Can you post a photo of the blocks to jog our memories?

uhhh.. that is what I need ya'lls help for.. I know there was one done... and can see a few of the blocks in my mind...

One had a large snowman pulling a small snowman on a sleigh across the iced pond...

Oh! LOL I guess someone posting a photo would help then. I don't think I did that swap, but can't think why! I love snowmen!

I remember that.....if I were home I could look...
You might ask Holee...she was connected to that group...I remember seeing her post pics of hers on yahoo site...

were they red work? B/c I am doing the Camelot snowmen red work blocks from that time.I love snowmen too, so I can figure out why I didn't do this one too!

They were all applique... The designer for the month would post her block and then everyone else would make their rendition of the block...

I remember Holee being a member too but I cannot contact her... Can anyone else contact her maybe?

That sounds like fun but I don't remember it. I hope you get your answer, you have me wondering now too!

FOUND it!

I looked through Holee's photo albums and found the blocks she made during the BOM... It was in 2007

The reason I wanted to show you all this is I was wondering if you would be up to a Snowman BOM for 2013? I have a plan in the works right now and will give the info in a week or so...

Great...I thought it was about the same time...Has anyone heard from Holee lately??? Hoping she is well...

Yes I would love to make a snowman quilt! I will wait for your plan

Sounds like fun Q.

Hmmmmm.... Interesting idea. I should probably not even be considering this but.......:

Wonder where I was back in 2007 - not paying attention here - obviously! Those blocks they did were great.

Um, depending on how it all works out, might like to join.

TcMay, the one from DonnasDayCare was a block swap. I don't know about anyone else, but I sent my blocks in and never received any back.

I was not in the swap but remember it well.

These snowmen weren't a swap... It was a BOM and everyone kept their own. That will be the way I host the one I am planning too.

Q, didn't you have a snowman swap? I remember making a snowman-cow for Marie, I think. Question is, where did I put my blocks?

We had a swap, I did a snowman with a suitcase. These are the ones I got back. I have 2006 on mine.

The one I hosted was a Christmas Round Robin done in blocks.

Mine was Pigs In Boxers. lol

Your blocks are here in my house waiting for the finishing touches on the quilting! Yours was a Nativity Scene.

Marie did the Western Snowmen theme.

Suzanne did a beautiful floral theme on black background...

I think we had 2 or 3 groups going on that one but these are the ones I clearly remember...

I believe coffee tea or me was in the swap.. and dhmayfield (maybe)... I wish I had kept files and photos on all of the swaps that I have hosted....

the ones I made

I don't think I hosted that one... or maybe I am losing my mind.. lol

You are correct...it happened to a lot of folks and turned into a huge disappointment for many. She left during or shortly afterward...sorry I brought it up. I just remembered I loved the cottages and the Snow people exchanges.

Sounds like I might want to join the snowman BOM. Will wait for details.

Mary

Ely said she was game too... This is looking like it is going to be a fantastic BOM sew-along!

I am waiting on something to come in the mail before I make the official announcement so hang tight.

Oh my get all things done then I can join sounds like fun!

I made 2 quilts from the blocks in the link. One I gave to Talia for her son and one to Cindy..I don't remember her board name..IthinkIcan..or something like that..she loved snowmen. I also made the January block into totes and walker bags for the Christmas Party at the local nursing home. The blocks were fun to make. Of all the quilts I've made I only kept one for myself and it's not layered yet but I should make another sets of the snowman blocks and keep them this time!

Holee...good to see you on the board...will you stay awile? How is your son? I do love the snowmen

Thanks TMay, actually I'll be shutting down my computer in a few days. Don't know when I'll be back. I have some major surgery coming up. Everyone have a safe and wonderful holiday!

Holee.. The BOM won't be using those blocks again.. I will be hopefully using some by a designer. She is sending me a set of her patterns now for me to look over and then if I decide to use them, she and I will discuss how to go about it for the forum.

If you are interested in doing the BOM with us I would need for you to send me your phone number so I could contact you should you go offline for an extended time period. Then I could get you the patterns easily.

I'm going to keep an eye on this BOM. It sounds like fun. I like the snow topped cottages too.

I love snowmen, I'm interested also. Once the chickens are done, I'll need something else to keep me busy! (Like I need another project but always room for snowmen!)

The BOM Chicks will most likely continue what they are doing..

This is something different and not associated with what they are doing.

This sounds like something I'd like to do T, as long as its after Christmas. I'm so busy right now.

Sounds like a fun group. I don't do handwork so I won't be joining, but I'll follow your posts. Looking forward to seeing some flakes

I didn't read anywhere it's going to be handwork. I might have missed something? If it's applique, I'm going to fuse it No handwork for me either!

No, I realize the BOM Chicks s something else, but after 12 chickens, I'm ready to move on to another block!

Am interested in the snowmen.

You can do the blocks ever how you wish because we will not be swapping them. You will keep your own so you can do them any way you wish... even think outside the box if you wish...

Can anyone tell me where I can find the patterns for the snow cottages and the red work snowmen? I love snowmen.

which ones are you referring to?

I don't have the patterns anymore, but someone here will have them, I believe it was called camelot redwork snowman patterns. I googled it and saw where someone blogged about it, you might ask her where to find the pattern!
