I was doing a bit of hand quilting the last few days and since I don't wear thimbles of any kind, my fingers are a little sore. I have 6 of the 12 frosty's quilted.
Here are the six that are done in the middle of the quilt. I need to mark the next 3 so it is ready when I want to pick this up again Sunday night. I am marking them using the 45 degree angle line on my ruler. These Frosty McChill's were a free sew along with Melisa at Pinkernpunkin blog.
Linking up with the Slow Sunday Stitchers.

Your "Frosty's" are really looking good. Lovely quilting--[I cannot stitch without a thimble...;))) ] Looking forward to today's F1 Race...fingers crossed for Saintz...hugs, Julierose
What a fun quilt!
Frosty's are lovely! I really love blue and white quilts!
The Frosties are coming right along! I really like the look of your 45 degree angle grids. Happy stitching today!
I discovered early on-that I had to have a thimble of some kind -- my firs one was a leather style one--but they only lasted just so long and then a new quilter teacher came to the quilt store to teach and she used a metal thimble from TJ Lane--that I love--(I have long hard nails-always have had them so regular thimbles just don't work for me) these thimbles let my nails be outside of the thimble--I have 2 of them I use-they are a metal that when you finally do wear a hole in them after a year or two--I can just send them into the company and they fix them for free and send them back to me--in the 10 years I have had them--I think I have sent them in 3 times--but I do do alot of hand quilting--all my quilts are hand quilted--plus I use them for embroidery work and applique work--now I am sure this is far more information that you wanted to read--sorry!! hugs, di
Ps--we only got 2 very small rain storms from the hurricane--one the day before and one late on the day of the storm--both lasted less that 10 minutes!
Cute embroideries and lovely quilting on the snow people quilt!
I have to use a thimble when I hand sew…hurts too much without one. Your cross hatch quilting looks great! Love those snowmen ⛄️! Gail at the Cozy Quilter
I like the simple straight line quilting on those pretty Frostys.
I dont use a thimble either and I'm currently doing big stitch quilting, so can only do it every few days. Your Frosties are looking great.
Your Frosties look amazing, Deb. You are moving right along on this quilt. It is a joy to see the update. Thank you so much for stitching him and for the sweetest shout out. Happy quilting. hugs.
