Design Wall Monday, November 11, 2024

Prepared several more acorn blocks.  These applique quite fast.  Mixing and matching, trying not to duplicate as I go.  You may wonder about my applique method.  Learned it a few years back at a Sunshine Guild meeting.  This method uses Avery Label sheets.  You trace the shape onto the sheet, cut on the line, adhere the shape onto the right side of the fabric, and cut the fabric 1/4 inch or less (preferably 1/8 inch).  You are all set to roll under the fabric around your shape to the background and stitch.  Trust me the adhesive shape stays put until you are ready to remove it.  No residue is left behind and you may be able to get a second use from the adhesive shape.

These are done as of today with six more prepared for stitching.  I can see a finish coming in the next couple of week for this 2024 UFO.

Witchy Manor from the 2024 Spooky Box from Fat Quarter Shop is in progress and sharing space with Kork on my Design Wall.  Aren't the bats just the cutest?  These units make up the top part of the project.

I am ready to sew the bottom section of the project after making all these spooky HSTs.  They were all trimmed down to 6 1/2 inches.  Trimming is necessary and the Bloc Lock rulers come in handy for the job.

Here is the top section ready to sew together.  Bats, Autumn and Evening Stars, Witch Hat, Manor, and Spooky Star.  This project needs a Hallowed name.  It finishes at 40 x 43.  Anxious to finish yet another Halloween project =^.^= 

Have a wonderful week everyone.
