I usually don't participate in this hop because I don't bake cookies anymore (for various reasons, mainly I cannot eat them anymore), but I asked Carol if it was okay I didn't post any cookies and just a project and being the sweet Carol she is, she said of course you don't have to post about cookies. So thank you Carol of Just Let Me Quilt for hosting this blog hop. So while I don't have any cookies to share, I do have some other quilted delights!
I found these in a magazine and thought they were so cute that I had to make a set. They are a set of placemats, but could just as easily be used as wall quilts or a small table topper. Since all that white snow would become stained too quickly as a placemat. I used scraps of white and off white to create the backgrounds for the Penguins & Snowmen appliqué quilts.

Those are just too cute and scream winter fun! Wishing you a Merry "cookieless" Christmas. I'm right there with you this year. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable! I love them, in what magazine did you find the pattern?
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute-you had to have known I would be in love with the snowmen! But the penguins are super cute too, especially the one with the hat! Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love the penguin in the hat, but they all make me smile!

ReplyDeleteAdorable, Daryl. You did a great job creating them; what a happy way to eat. Real snow - aren't you the best!

ReplyDeleteYour placemats are darling! I like the backgrounds you made for them, too. I just may have to make a few of these for my table.
ReplyDeleteThose placemats are so cute. I'm such a sucker for snowmen...no wonder when I was born in Canada. My family then moved to LA, so I suppose I am always thinking about the joys of snow (not the shoveling).
ReplyDeleteSew cute! I love all of them!
ReplyDeleteThese snowmen and penguin placemats are just sooo adorable! If you hadn't written about it, I probably wouldn't have noticed the missing cookies. We don't do much with Christmas cookies in our house either anymore. Thanks for the delightful post! Happy quilting! -Andrea
ReplyDeleteLove the theme, Daryl! Can't get much better than penguins and you always have the perfect fabrics and materials to make them shine. (Having real snow is a bit of a plus for you folks down there. I, on the other hand, can put everything I make out into the snow for the foreseeable future!)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Daryl! I love both of them, and have a friend who loves penguins. I just might have to make some for her ... after Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Daryl, those are really cute mug rugs!
ReplyDeleteThose snowmen placemats are truly darling!
ReplyDeleteThe penguins and snowmen are both really cute! They should be easy enough to make--and fun too!
ReplyDeleteCarol really is a sweetie, no pressure, no "rules" - I love this hop! Your penguin and snowman placemats are adorable!! How smart to use white and off-white, and how fun that you were able to take photos in the snow!
ReplyDeleteThese are just too cute, Daryl! I love both the snowmen and the penguins, and would like just a little of that snow for the kiddos. It's in the 70s here today!
ReplyDeleteWonderful placemats, I love all of them!! Fun, fun, fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour penguin and snowman placemats are adorable! Merry Christmas!
