This hand embroidered quilt is a Meg Hawkey, Crabapple Hill Studio pattern, Snowmen A to Zzzz.  It was a delight to work on.  Scalloped borders seemed like the perfect idea for this quilt; I am glad I took the extra time to try it.  I will definitely use scalloped borders again.  

Our 4-year-old granddaughter took her first stitches on this quilt.  When she saw me working on the B for Bell block she asked if she could try.  I enthusiastically let her take a few stitches and she's been hooked ever since.  With scraps of fabric, a large needle and heavy thread she enjoys making blankets for her dolls.  My fondest memory of working on this quilt is when she was sitting in her rocking chair with needle and thread, looked up at me and exclaimed, "it's a beautiful day for threading!"  A future quilter in the making, I hope.
