Compass block
This is the block I want to make so instead of piecing it I thought I should try to applique it. |
I'm going to use this brown check shirt and applique it on pink fabric |
trace all the shapes onto freezer paper |
Iron them onto the fabric, the plastic on the freezer paper sticks to the fabric |
now I am going to cut out each shape with enough seams allowance to glue the fabric to the paper side of the freezer paper |
here is the center circle already to glue down |
the shape is all glued and ready to applique |
turn the point up then fold the sides down and glue in place |
sides glue in place now to do the other end |
all ready for applique |
got all the shapes ready to go |
One is pieced, one appliqued. the pieced one was much easier. | Now I know :0) Happy Sewing, Kim I'm linking up with Judy over at Design wall Monday too. |

WIP Wednesday
In an effort to individualize this pattern I have made a few blocks differently. the challenge will be to now make them fit in the pattern layout suggested by "Just Takes 2" |
Are you making your own "Just takes 2" ? |
This feathered star is my favorite. Why not show us what you are working on over at WIP Wednesday ? | Happy Sewing, Kim |

BASICS....what's it all about?
"White baskets" |
Quilted by Jackie |
I didn't either until my friend Victoria
( Bumble Beans Inc) told me about it. Look at all the good that has come from Victoria's efforts :0). This top was recused from a friends flooded basement, I finished it, and Jackie (Canton Village Quilt Works) donated her quilting.
Now the quilt is on it's way to a new home in the Bronx.
I hope you you have a quilt you can donate to families starting over too.
Happy Sewing, Kim
