2 Penguins & 2 Snowmen Quilted Placemats


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.

This Penguin is sporting a pair of earmuffs. That is real snow this quilt is lying on too. I took these photos early in 2022 when it had snowed and never shared these little quilts before until now.


This cute Penguin has on a hat and scarf. I love the pompom on the hat!


Both Penguins together on the snow.

This fun snowman is wearing a tall hat that flops over and also has a pompom on the hat.


This snowy guy is wearing a stovepipe hat and has button eyes and button smile instead of charcoal.

Here is the full schedule for the blog hop:

  13. Those 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).

  15. These 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

  16. Love 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!)
