Midweek Makers #404

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Recovery from lumbar fusion is going well, especially after a second round of steroids to relieve nighttime sciatic pain on the other side. Most of my days are spent reading or streaming Suits - lots of resting. Maybe in a few weeks I can do more.

With Halloween soon upon us, this week I'm sharing a new Halloween themed block. Who's up for an applique Spider Web block?

Feeling in the mood for Halloween back in August, I designed this block for fun and applique ease. And it can be printed in 3 block sizes - 8, 10, 12 - with instructions on how to enlarge and print.

Find the Spider Web block in my Etsy Shop along with other runners and quilts to make for Halloween.

Now join us for this week's party!

Midweek Makers #403

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

I'm two weeks post surgery and taking it very easy. Lots of walking and laying around, as I'm only allowed to sit for 20 minutes at a time. My days are a bit boring, so I'll share one of my happy fall patterns, the Jack O'Lantern runner, just in time to make for Halloween.

This runner is not only happy and cute, it's super easy! One just needs to know how to do fusible applique. The pattern also comes with 2 more faces to choose from. Heck, it could even make individual blocks for an entire quilt!

With features on hiatus again this week due to surgery, I'm offering a coupon for 20% off of the Jack O'Lantern table runner pattern. Just enter the coupon code 'JACKO' at checkout in my Etsy shop. Happy stitching!

Now for this week's party!

Baby Feet for October Quilt Block Mania

This month, it's all about babies! Yes, the Quilt Block Mania theme is 'baby', and I've designed a block that's hard to resist - Baby Feet!

I've chosen to make mine in pink cause I'm quite partial to that color. Here's the Baby Feet quilt block in a quilt, looking totally adorable!

Of course, anything to do with a baby is adorable, as shown by all these other baby themed quilt blocks from some very talented designers.

Visit them all for this month's free block and don't forget to thank them.

Hugs & Kisses Quilt Block

My Baby Feet block requires just a bit of piecing to make the background block, then fusible applique for feet. Use your favorite thread and applique stitch to secure the feet to the background. You can see above that I did a satin stitch on mine.

As far as materials, two fat quarters and fusible web are all that are needed, which will make two blocks. The applique template does need enlargement to 200%, but don't worry, the pattern includes an explanation how to set the printer settings to achieve that.

 

Times up - sorry, but the Baby Feet block is currently unavailable. I'll keep you posted on it's status.
