It's time to have a wicked good time! A huge Thank you to Madame Samm for another awesome hop and to
Wendy at Why Knot Kwilt! I worked on a few original designs. The first one being a haunted house! Imagine the little ghouls and goblins that go trick or treating here! I enjoy to embroider and this was a fun project to work on in front of the TV.
After I got the center embroidered then I decided to make a no-waste flying geese border all the way around it.... so here's how I did it.... it's not a new technique, and I certainly can't take credit for it. But it sure made making tiny flying geese blocks easy and accurate to do! I used 3 fat quarters from Thimbleberries to do my block.
 |
| I began by cutting 32 ~ 1 7/8" black squares and 8 ~ 3 1/4" orange squares |
 |
| Lay two black squares on one orange square right sides together and draw a diagonal line from corner to corner, you will sew a 1/4" scant seam on each side of the diagonal line. (I have the diagonal marked here) |
 |
| Sewing on the lines.... |
 |
| Then cut apart.... |
 |
| Iron... to the dark side.... |
 |
| Then lay a black square on your triangle section, again mark 1/4" seam on each side of the diagonal. |
 |
| I have a stack of them to do to make a border! |
 |
| Sew on the 1/4" seam line.... |
 |
| Cut apart.... |
 |
| iron... iron to the dark side....this will make 1" x 2" flying geese (1 1/2" x 2 1/2") |
 |
| Then I trim my embroidery piece down .... |
 |
| 8 flying geese blocks will form the border on each side.... |
 |
| I fussy cut the corner blocks for the border. |
 |
| Border is all pieced and the block is now ready to quilt. |
 |
| All quilted |
 |
| Sewing on the binding.... |
 |
| It's time to welcome the Trick or Treaters!!! |
 |
| I didn't just stop there, I also made this cute mug rug. 'Frankie' |
 |
| I also made a skeleton mug rug. I call this fellow 'Mr. Bones'. I love his candy corn nose. I love candy corn! |
I was planning on giving a copy of Halloween house as a prize, but I'm still trying to write it! But I do have directions for both 'Mr. Bones' and 'Frankie'. So Wilson and I will pick two lucky winners for both patterns. To win... leave me a comment on your favorite Halloween treat. I love candy corn mixed with peanuts. For a second chance to win, be a happy follower and let me know that you are. Wilson and I will draw our lucky winners on Halloween! Yep Halloween!

ReplyDeleteI love Frankie and Mr Bones!!! And that is one WICKED, wicked house stitch pattern!!! ALL Very WICKED Halloween quilty things here and a wonderful Flying Geese tutorial too!! Is a great one, because although not new like you said, many still have not seen them done like that, GOOD JOB!! you'll have more people in love with no waste flying geese. Not positive but think the first time I saw it, Billie Lauder did it on Alex Anderson's show YEARS ago. But have no idea who came up with it, Billie or someone else. Have seen Eleanor Burns do it that way too, before she invented a ruler. :) Love all Your WICKED stitching!!!! on to the next Haunting!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry - I didn't know my deleting would leave a gap. I realized that I did answer your question - I would say candy corn is my favorite halloween candy. And I just love Frankie - my granddaugher would be thrilled if I made either one for her. Thank you
