In the Woods with Thermoweb and Paintbrush Studios

Have you ever heard of a "Flat Stack"?

Paintbrush Studio Fabrics, has put a new spin on a fat quarter set.

All these beautiful fabrics are printed in one long run.

The packages take up much less space, that way.

That means I have room for way more fabrics in my studio.

LOL!!!!

This  fun set of fabrics is "Forest Fables".

I love the bright colors and cheery prints.

Just look at the selvage, it's as adorable as the fabric!

The center panel is done using a fusible applique method. 

Thermoweb has made fusible applique so easy.

 HeatNBond®Light-Weight Fusible Interfacing fused on the reverse side of my background fabric supports my appliques and causes much less shrinking and distortion.

 HeatNBond EZ Print Lite  fusible web allows you to print from you computer. No more tracing!

You may have noticed many of the fabrics are directional.

Are you scared of working with directional fabrics? 

I used to be, until I stumbled on the secret.  I've included my "No-Cry" 

method of dealing with directional fabrics in the pattern.

Check it out for yourself. You can find the "free" pattern over on the Thermoweb blog

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

 Happy Halloween!

With all the partying, I almost forgot my giveaway! But never fear Random Generator was here and has chosen the winner of my giveaway during the 

Number 21 is you Ms Kathleen.

I have sent you and email for your mailing info, and it will be whisking itself your way!

I hope you all had a fun filled Halloween. Our quilt club and personal chef had such a good time celebrating the day!

We kicked it off with Bloody Mary's or Cranberry Cocktails in blood bags.

Did you know you could order them on Amazon?

LOL!!

It was a "hoot" that would have only been better if we would have had stands to hang them from, so we could drink right out of the bag!

There were tricks...

There were treats...

There was a table full of sweets...

But nothing beats the laughs with friends.

I hope you all had a Ghastly great day as well!

Give Thanks

 

With November rapidly approaching, our thoughts are turning on being thankful.

This new garden flag, expresses just that.

These flags are so easy, when using "Crafter's Edge" Alphabet dies and 

Rounded Dresden dies.

I love their Crossover II cutting machine, with the multiple pressure settings on it, 

but did you know...

these dies can be used in an Accuquilt GO cutter with a conversion plate.

Oh...and all their dies are on sale until the end of the month for 20% off.

Once you add your dies to the shopping cart and go to the checkout, 

you will see the discount.

Better hurry if you are interested, there are only a few days left!

Thermoweb products make the construction of the flag a breeze...

get it flag, breeze. OK, I'll keep my day job!

But seriously...using HeatNBond projects make it so easy.

The pattern is printer friendly. If you hate tracing you will love 

HeatNBond EZ Print Lite

You just pop a sheet into your printer and print all your applique designs.

Then to keep your flag weather and waterproof, just paint 

 HeatNBond Liquid Vinyl on your project.

This series of flags are designed using the "Gray Bunny Garden Flag Stand". It's a nice tall 51" x 15' wide stand, you can find on Amazon HERE for under $20.

You can find the free pattern on the Thermoweb blog

Ghastly Ghouls Blog Hop

If it's "creepy" and it's "spooky", it has to be Carol's "Ghastly Ghouls" blog hop time.

You likely know that Carol, Carla and I, are all Halloween crazy and lets just say...

this time of the year...well you know!

Thanks Carol, for bringing out the kid, in all of us.

Did that scare the "bejeebers" out of you?

Possibly this "Ghost"...

or "Bat" would do the trick!

When they are combined they are all together 'ooky, don't you agree?

This is one of Angie's patterns from her "Applique Garden " website.

 There are always 6 or 7 quilts going on at a time and new blocks

 are released weekly.

She has such fun patterns, that I have subscribed to it for years. 

You can check it out for yourself  HERE.

With it being the "Ghastly Ghouls" blog hop, I do have a little giveaway.

You may remember that I went "Java Jacket" crazy last month over on the 

"Thermoweb" blog.

This one, done in my favorite "Ghastly" fabric, just begged to be given

 away during this hop. Leave me a comment, telling me your most "Ghastly" Halloween  delight, and I will pick one winner,

Sunday Oct 31st.

I'm just sending the "jacket", because it fits in an envelope, so this time even if your international you can participate in the drawing. 

You can find my post with a free pattern for these jackets HERE

Now be off with you, to visit my fellow "Ghastly Ghouls" bloggers and see what trouble they are stirring up today!
