The snowman door hanger turned out so cute. This is a Riley Blake kit, about 20 x 36". I finished the binding in the car on Saturday. Sunday morning I added the hanging loops and hung it on the front door.
The quilting is awesome - snowflakes and windy swirls. The gals at the Pin Cushion quilted this one for me. In addition to binding, I stitched on 2 black buttons for his eyes.
All the pieces were cut for the Valentine door hanger yesterday afternoon, then I began sewing it together after supper. I don't usually end up in my sewing room in the evening, but my husband had a couple of friends over to play golf on the simulator, so I escaped downstairs. This little project should easily reach the flimsy stage today as there aren't many small pieces to deal with. I may have to buy something for backing as I didn't find anything appropriate in the stash when I searched.
The other binding project that happened in the car over the weekend is this doll quilt. I had made this one from one of those fat quarters I won last winter, but it only got to the flimsy stage at the time. Last week I sandwiched it with leftover batting, and a piece of leftover backing - and spent about a half hour quilting a grid about 3" apart. Leftover binding was added. This one needs a cute stuffed animal to go with it.

The wall hanging is really cute. Congrats on all the finishes from the weekend. Happy stitching this week.
What a cheerful Mr. Frosty! It's good that you can sew while the car is in motion (no bumping and no motion sickness). Stay warm!
Super cute snowman door quilt. I am anxious to see your Valentine one.
What a cute snowman!
