Polar Bear with a Twist...

It's winter critters week this week, over on the Thermoweb blog.

What says cold cold cold more than polar bears?

While this little guy may look like he is freezing, he will warm you up in no time.

This flannel pillow has a secret pocket that holds a rice bag you can pop into your microwave, for that burst of heat we are all looking for on those cold winter nights.

Using these Thermoweb products helps make any quilty projects so easy.

HeatNBond EZ Print Lite is a no trace way to applique. Just pop a sheet into your printer and hit the print button. The free pattern is printer friendly.

HeatNBond®Fusible Fleece gives that extra support and shape to your projects.

SprayNBond®Basting Adhesive keeps the backing fabric from bunching up as you quilt.

You can download the free pattern on the Thermoweb Blog

What's my favorite way to use this warm little guy????

I love sliding my freezing toes into the pocket with the rice bag.

LOL!!

Enjoy and stay warm my friends!

Tis the Season Garden Flag

I love the holidays!

"Tis the Season" 

This garden flag brings lots of joy to my heart and my yard.

With a few fabrics and these Thermoweb products

HeatNBond EZ Print Lite sheets are so easy. No more tracing, just pop a sheet in your printer and hit the print button. or HeatNBond®Lite fusible web, if you love tracing.

HeatNBond®Light-Weight Fusible Interfacing fused to the back side of your fabric, gives that added support for a distort free finish.

ThermOWeb Pressing Paper or parchment paper not only protects your iron work surface, but is a must when pressing and setting the liquid vinyl.

HeatNBond Liquid Vinyl protects and waterproofs your fabrics for outdoor use.

You choose the number of coats you need.

1 coat - water and stain-resistant

2 coats - waterproof and stain-resistant

3 coats - water proof and stain-resistant with a semi-gloss oilcloth finish

It paints on easily and your brush cleans up with water.

I have a tip to share...

Acrylic paint and a stylus, makes eyes so easy to do. Just dot it on and let it dry, 

before you apply the liquid vinyl. 

This flag is designed to fit the 51" X 15" "Gray Bunny Garden Flag Stand" found on Amazon HERE.

The top arm swings open to allow you to easily load your flag.

No place to put a flag???

How about a door hanger? What a great way to welcome your holiday guests.

The free pattern can be found on the Thermoweb blog HERE.

May your season be filled with JOY!

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

Oh what a week it's been...

My computer crashed last week and had to go in to be repaired. 

I now know,  if I was stranded on a desert island and had to make a decision between food, water, chocolate or a computer, I would likely sell my soul for the computer and a generator!

LOL!!!

It was the worst week of my life I swear. I had no idea just how connected to it I had become.

anyway...back to "Pumpkin Spice" here...

This little mini published last week of the Thermoweb blog.

Using these Thermoweb products, makes this sweet little 12"x12" mini fast and easy to make.

HeatNBond®Fusible Fleece

We are just a couple of weeks away from Carla's "Music" blog hop!

Oh yeah baby...I've be rehearsing my song for weeks. :-)

On second thought... maybe I'll just save you the pain and just keep on singing in the shower to myself!

But I will see you at the hop!
