Eye Spy

I became very enchanted with the eye spy theme quilts this past year with the Nancy Drew blog hop. There are so many different types of "spy" quilts you can do.

I stumbled on this pattern awhile back on the Hoffman Fabric web site...

It's Snow Globes by Denise M Russart
 
Here is the link for the free PDF file


 
With all the Christmas fabrics that I have collected, I knew these snow globes would be perfect!
 
 
I took it a couple of steps further and made mine into a lap size quilt


                                             And personalized each globe.

 
My quilt is longer than most.

 
I like a little extra so my toes don't stick out

 
on these cold winter nights

 
So my quilt is 73" long

 
It's such a fun way

 
to make a commemorative Holiday quilt!

 
Bet you have someone on your list who could use one too!
It is a fast and easy pattern to do.
I have to share. I used a gold Glide thread by Fil-Tec, for the first time, to quilt this.
 My HQ16  has always been an easy machine to stitch with, but this thread ran thru it like a dream. Not one thread break in the entire quilt. Oh it was a great quilting day! 
 
:-)
Happy quilting.
 
A big thanks to Hoffman Fabrics and Denise for sharing such a fun and easy pattern with us!

  5. It is beautiful! I always get a chuckle when someone says they made it a little long. My Honeyman insists that any I make for him are long enough to wrap up under his feet! I have 3 in the living room...but only 1 is 'his' LOL!
