As the last piece of my Christmas sewing project for this year, I transformed a quilt panel into 3 throw pillow covers. I cut up the “Share The Joy Snowman” (from Moda) quilt panel, and split it into 5 parts in order to get 3 snowman panels and 2 strips of text banners. With them and additional matching fabrics, I sewed and trapunto quilted 3 throw pillow covers that has 3 different snowman prints on each. In order to make all 3 pillows a little different, I changed the side panels with quilt blocks: Christmas Tree and Pinwheel.
Oh my, I deeply fell in love with this quilting style and technique, not only that it gives the 3 dimension effect on the print, it makes the quilt so soft and nice to touch. My kids can never stop stroking their face and hands on the snowman, squeeze and cuddle them all the time. I bet if the weather can get any cooler, they will sure love to hug them to sleep…. Kids, blankets are on the way… please be patient š
Remember the Whale baby trapunto quilt blanket I sewed for my friend’s newborn son, where I mentioned that I have lost all the step by step tutorial photos and only can write the tutorial with some “done” photos to explain. If you landed here from that blanket post, you will be able to see some photos that could help you to understand better, especially the 3D trapunto quilting part. Click page 2 for details.
Christmas greeting from Craft Passion, together with the kids here to create a little hoax that spice up my already-challenging crafting world, and not forgetting Mr.CraftPassion that helps up the household core while free my time to craft and create………………
We wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS, let’s share the joy to the world!!!!
Wish you all have a wonderful time at this special holy season of the year with friends and families!
I found your darling snowmen pillows and wanted to buy the fabric to make them, but cannot find them anywhere. I know its been many years since you posted them, but they are so popular, can you direct me to where I can buy this snowman fabric. I tried Moda, but to no avail.
Thank You

Hi Yolanda, I bought it from a local quilt supply shop and yes, they have sold it out, otherwise, I could buy it and send to you. I will keep this in mind and will inform you when I found it somewhere else.

Hi, love your pillows love all your work.
Could you tell me why some trapunto tell you to get washable thread, I have a panel and going to do trapunto on it but I am in two minds why I need washable thread.
