I'm looking at my fall calendar of things to do, and I know I have to start getting back in my sewing room. It's been a mess, and just not nice to go into. I know if I spend 30 minutes just sorting and and putting things away, it would go a long way to getting back into the swing of things.
It didn't take me long to clear off most of my sewing table. I have several partly finished projects. So I thought, let's just finish them rather than move them. 
Here's the first one finished. This little snowflake snowman didn't take very long to finish. I only had to machine quilt the border, then apply the binding. A total of 45 minutes. For a while I had a bit of a problem with the old question "Do you think it's ok to mix hand stitching, with machine quilting?" But I'm over it and I think it's just darling.
If you want to know the pattern, it's the "S" from Crab Apple Hill Designs, Snowmen, A to Zzzz.
And the good thing is, I have something for show and tell at my September Quilt Guild Meetings. Ahh, I'm starting to feel good!

You did a lovely job, the design is great.
Great job..I've had this project on the to do list for a long time, but all I've completed so far is cutting the fabric out...great to see that you finished yours. Thanks for the incentive to get back to work on mine! :)
It looks great. Craftsy has a class called stupedous stitching that combines decorative stitch on your machine, couching and hand stitching. The projects are beautiful. So I think you can definitely combine machine stitching and hand stitching.
Love it! What a cute quilt.
Love your snowman quilt! Great job!!
