Holly Jolly Snowmen « modafabrics

I know ! No groaning out there.
I can hear you! LOL
Yes I’ve made a Christmas Project.
Peoples it’s June already! Only 205 days until Christmas!

I said I was going to make one Christmas Gift each month this year.
Starting in January. {It hasn’t happened} Until this month! I just finished my first Christmas Gift! A Super Fun and Pretty Simple Table Runner And the Holly Jolly Snowmen Fabric by Kathy Schmitz is PERFECT for this pattern.
