NO SEW SNOWFLAKE TUTORIAL USING THE ACCUQUILT GO CUTTER

                                                               Snowflake ornament

MATERIALS NEEDED:

1. Accuquilt Go Die #55043  Holiday Medley
2. Heat N Bond Ultra firm
3. Assorted Christmas fabrics 5" squares
4. 5" square of  card stock paper ( I used the end of the roll in my Christmas wrapping paper..it is no longer a tube, it is just heavy paper in a roll which works out great for projects)
5. Ribbon
6. Hole punch

INSTRUCTIONS:

• As you see here, this is just a scrap of fabric that is about the size needed but you will need either a 10" x 5" strip or two 5" squares of fabric the same for your heat n bond.
• Iron your heat n bond ultra firm onto the back of your fabrics as shown here

•  Then place your 5" square of card stock in between the squares.  This card stock gives it the strength you need to have a nice firm ornament not a flymsy one.

•  fold over and iron

• Take to your trusty Accuquilt Go Cutter and cut out the shape you desire because you can even do the Christmas Tree.
• Use a hole punch to punch in a hole for the ribbon.                                                                                                     

Tie your ribbon in and there you have a super fast, fun ornament!

FREE PUMPKIN CANDLE MAT OR POT HOLDER PATTERN Using your Accuquilt Go die or your own pumpkin cut out

 

 

MATERIALS:

• 10" x 10" orange fabric for pumpkins
• 11" x 11" background fabric
• Heat N Bond or fabric adhesive of choice
•   11" x 11" Insul-brite or batting. 
• 11" x 11" backing
• Accuquilt Go cutter and fall medley die
• Binding fabric 2 1/2" X 46" strip

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Take your orange fabric and fold in half

 

2.  Fold in half again like you see here.  You have it in fourths.

3.  Place on the die as you see here with the corner fold at the top lined with the stem and leaving a little peek of the die pumpkin uncovered as you see in the right side of the fabric.

Look closely.  You do not want to cut the pumpkins out all of the way, you want to leave a little sliver showing.

 

 4.  Here you have your pumpkins.  You can draw you a pumpkin and do the same thing with scissors.

 

 5.  Center your pumpkins on your background fabric and iron on.
6.  Sandwich your candle mat by having the background fabric, batting or insul-brite, and then your backing fabric.
7.  Blanket stitch or just take a running stitch around the pumpkins.
8.. Cut your project down to 10" x 10". 
9.  Bind and you are done.


EASY  EASY!!!!  Now you have a fun pumpkin decoration.

 

SCRAPPY KINDA DAY!!

Saturday I didn't feel like doing much sewing so I got my Go cutter out and started tackling my scraps.

  Using the 2 1/2" strip die I started hammering down on my mound of scraps.


I am happy to report that I did get enough scraps cut to make 57 of these blocks (made yesterday).

 

More scraps to cut up....tons more. I didn't even make a dent....(head is hanging low).....

 

I am sure most of you have seen my yellow Tree of Life...it has a gazillon leaves.

 

 I must be insane to do another one of these...

 

.so...

 

I have decided that every day I will do at least 21 leaves....why 21 you ask?

 

Because as I am stitching them down...I say just one more...one more....so I couldn't stop with just twenty...had to do one more.

 

So far I have 65 stitched down and that is not even scratching the surface...poor me.... (head hanging low again)

So the winner of the pattern is Sherry Von Fumetti.......  I will send the pattern right over.

 

Now back to the Tree of Life
