GHASTLIE BLOG HOP STARTS TOMORROW - FEW FINISHES

Yesterday when I got up my husband goes...."Let's go to JoAnn's"

Say what???? JoAnn's!!!

I was ready in ten minutes.

He even went in with me instead of sitting in the car. It is so funny to see these men sitting in the car waiting for their wives or tagging behind them in JoAnn's. What awesome husbands or significants.

He couldn't find me at one point and headed right to the clearance....he found me. He said he knew that is where I would be....HA!!!!

Well...I don't know if you can see the cobblestone (quilted with Guetermann thread) on this wall hanging but I finally decided on quilting that in the white area. Sometimes you just have to let it sit and eventually it will come to you. I will admit, deciding on how to quilt something is my weak point. I need to study up.

This wall hanging uses 4 Accuquilt dies, tumbler, flower, heart, and Sunbonnet Sue, the directions are in the post below, incase you missed it.



I would like to say that I know a lot of you do not have a the Accuquilt Go cutter but if you are interested, I can cut you the shapes out on card stock and send it to you for either one of the projects.

Then I blanket stitched this. This is from the Fall Medley die.



Started a fun new design with one of the accuquilt dies.

Put the bindings together for eight projects....yes...you heard me...eight. Tomorrow I will iron them and attack that.

TWIST TO THE SUNBONNET SUE DIE.

One day while looking at the Sunbonnet Sue die this thought came to my mind on how to use the bonnet.

So I pulled out my batiks (actually they are on my baker's rack begging to be used).

White fabric - 14" by 18"
Border is 4" wide (2 eighteen inches for the sides, 22" for the top and bottom, of course, you need to measure your block to get your correct measurements.
Flower is the Sunbonnet Sue hat
Inner Flower - bottom of the hat, I place the fabric just enough to where it covered the bottom part of the hat, then I cut a curve on the one half trying to match the curve on the hat bottom.
Stems - Flower Die stems...the longest one, I just cut until I felt I had a piece long enough and
thin enough.
Pot - Tumbler die.
Heart - largest heart on the heart die
Quilt as desired.

I still have the white to quilt.
