Today I’m offering up a block tutorial as a guest blogger in QuiltJane‘s Desperate Housewife’s Quilt project. Jane asked me many months ago to join her in making a 8″ quilt block to share with you. When I signed up I told her I would would take sometime in December knowing that I would have 3 plus months to get this done, but now remember how hectic the holidays are working retail. You would think I would have remembered this working 10 plus years in retail, but lo and behold I did not.
I was trying to think what on earth I could make for Jane and I knew I wanted it to have a holiday theme. I put my thinking cap on and remembered that Jane is from Australia, I thought they don’t see many snowflakes there. Off to work I went to make a quick and easy quilt block revolving around snowflakes.

I used my embroidery software to create the above cutwork design to make the pillow below. You may download the 8″ (200mm x 200mm) embroidery cutwork snowflake here or 6″ (150mm x150mm) here. They are both in VP3 format. If you require another format you will have to convert it yourself. Sorry…
