Snowglobes and More

I had purchased this cute snowman fabric a few years ago on a trip and thought it was time to chop into it.   What better way to use it up than to make snowglobes!!   Who doesn't feel like a kid when they look at a snowglobe.  Don't know if I'll use them or save them for gifts for next year.  I have enough fabric left of this collection to make 4 more.



Also used up all my leftover Let It Snow fabric and made a few placemats for my table.


Then I found my mini curved blocks that I didn't use in my Beach quilt so made a small wall hanging for my bathroom.


Now I just finished piecing this top from a Bali Pop I purchases a few years ago.  The sashing is left over strips of hand dyed backing I used on my boys Scrappy Star quilts.  Now I have to dye backing for this one.
I have decided that my New Years Resolution this year will be to not buy Bali Pops, Jelly Rolls or any other precuts if I do not have a plan for them.  How long do you think that resolution will last?  :)

  2. I love the snowglobes. They look wonderful.
    I have to ask if you used a pattern and if so, its name and designer.
    I'd love to make some!!
    Good luck with your resolution.
