Another UFO bites the dust....
This is a Jan Patek Pattern called...'Snow Guys'...and these 'Guys' have wanted their freedom for a few years now...
I know these two snowmen are a bit scary but they grow on you...they really do!
The backing is a soft blue and mottled, grey, striped homespun....(...wish I had more of this fabric...)
What can I say...these snowmen grow on you...a face only a mother could love! This is Blake...
...and this is Jake..and both are flakes. I figured if I gave them names maybe they wouldn't look so sinister...
And yes their eyes follow you around the house... wherever you go...
Jake and Blake may end up getting rolled and put into a basket...or not...they are kind'a cute...in a sick kind'a way...
Speaking of which, it's Election day down in the States...and I am nervous! I have never been nervous about any election before...EVER....and it isn't even my country! ( The border is just across the water...I can practically see Seattle from my kitchen window...:o) ...insert a nervous laugh here... haha) I won't lie...it's been an entertain year and a half, with more twists and turns than 'House of Cards'...BUT...it's serious business this year, so I want to reminder all those quilters 'out there' to put your needle and thread down and take time to go and VOTE...it's an important one! The world is watching...or at least I am...as I sit by my kitchen window...
Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Stitching!~P
Very cute ♥
ReplyDeleteI don't think they are scarey at all. They make a change from the usual faces , hope you hang them up and enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI have seen MUCH scarier snowmen. I think some of the Buttermilk Basin ones that have Frankenstein-looking mouths and candy canes spouting from their heads are creepy, IMHO. : )
ReplyDeleteBut I love the names you gave them--and maybe I wouldn't like it if their eyes were following me around the house.
I am way beyond nervous--I am scared out of my wits! I voted yesterday. In out valley ALL of the voting is by mail (or dropbox), and we "dropped" our ballots at the county courthouse.
I love Jake and Blake! Not scary at all!❤️
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for being scared of the results of the election today, I think the whole world is very nervous about it.
ReplyDeleteWhen something turns out this cute, don't you wonder why it got tucked away for so long?
ReplyDeleteOh, voting...after work today. Thanks for the reminder. I'm not even going to look at the TV until morning.
Great finish on your snowmen, I remember the struggles you had making it fit together, it was worth your frustrations!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed all goes well with our American neighbours day.
Your snowmen are sort of cute. I agree they will grow on you. Good for you for another UFO, wish I could say that. We vote by mail or drop box in OR so we did ours on Sunday at the drop box at the courthouse. We even have some issues in our state--scary.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful quilt, wish I had your motivation, I need to come over and kick my rear into gear;)

I love your snowmen, at least they have character. The fabrics are lovely too, especially that red inner border. And you did finish something, that's important. Now on to the next one, I think you're on a roll.
ReplyDeleteYour snowmen are so cute! Congrats on another beautiful finish!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they are scary. Maybe it is just the election results they are worried about. Not to worry Jake and Blake, it will all work out. Keep your starry eyes crossed for us!
ReplyDeletePaulette me encantan tus muñecos de nieve
ReplyDeletey me encantan los patrones de Ene patek
buenas noches desde Gijon
I think I'm in love! Love those snowmen! Love those trees! Love the prints! Love that tomorrow is a new day. The sun will come up!
ReplyDeletePS-Jake & Blake can come live with us!
DeleteYou're nervous? Try living here in all this craziness. My stomach is in knots....
ReplyDeleteJake and Flake??? Hysterical. That is a wonderful little quilt. I LOVE it!!! Perfect for the winter. Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! I think it's the stars around their eyes that make them look a bit "carnival"... lol!
ReplyDeleteI voted! :-)
Do you watch Dr. Who? Now those are Scary Snowmen! They make yours look like pussycats.
ReplyDeleteJake and Blake do look great. You're on a roll.
ReplyDeleteYes, those eyes are why it's been a UFO so long. But, someone else may be thrilled with it, so let's hope it finds a good home!
ReplyDeleteIn the news today someone pointed out that Toronto survived Rob Ford, so maybe Trump will be survivable too!
