A Free Pumpkin Project today!

Please Note  the Last block will be on Sat Aug 31 due to my travel.. For today I have a fun little project that you might not have seen yet and it will get you ready for fall!

And also note:

I designed this a few years ago for the Button club, i hope you enjoy my tips and the pattern!

1. To use patchwork for an applique shape my big tip is to press the seams open like step (1) above.
2. Then when placing the shape, try to avoid a major seam at the edge of the shape. I'm using my favorite  scissors  for the applique, you really need a pair!
3. Stitch using the blanket stitch like in my applique book.
4. Or use a straight stitch like I show you in my newest 'Teach Me' book with the basics. A straight stitch is the best way to learn fusible applique and my pumpkin is a nice easy shape.
5. Quilt with straight lines and then audition button placement. 

Find more applique tips in my Learn to Applique book. 

I am ONLY using the layer cake and this time I used Jen Kingwell's behind the Scenes & the Grunge Dot in Black

And if you are looking for batting..the New Happy Cloud batting is DIVINE! you NEED some! 

I LOVED hanging this in my yard! Now I need some bigger Boo pumpkins, right?
