It is new project tutorial day - time to share my March project created for <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web</a> with you! I always enjoy putting on my <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/designers/" target="_blank">Fabric Education Designer</a> hat and creating new projects/tutorials to share with you on the Therm O Web blog. Each month, I share a new project and you give you my tips and tricks for using their wonderful line of fabric, craft, and sewing products. For the month of March, the blog is focused on early-start gifts (baby, kids, grads), scrappy solutions, projects with dimension, and springtime makes. I created a brand new project that was posted yesterday - it is a <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/bitty-goody-basket-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">complete project tutorial for my "Bitty Goody Basket."</a> My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with template, and step-by-step directions with color photos. This is a fast and easy project, perfect for using up scraps and great for beginners. I chose to use some cheerful fabrics from the Garden Party collection by <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/garden-party-ships-september" target="_blank">Sheri McCulley for Poppie Cotton</a>. I hope you will stop by the Therm O Web blog and <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/bitty-goody-basket-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">check out my project and tutorial</a>...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegmO6i4_FtJhW9eG60oeL-1NTsGAIPB4-l59NvMqK7Te7WFJRgPrsc4sMmhYWvyYromdLJ0T-p23rgJoYeaSzOG5yfFVdWy9wVbfmxVsJN253TOYqIui3yYbzQGHZGTFyJhSt5COTbbg_Xk-xfJzu9loqML4Pm7TggaWdHwlSQYKUouu4HoqDmaTYSllV/s600/Blog%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bitty Goody Basket ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegmO6i4_FtJhW9eG60oeL-1NTsGAIPB4-l59NvMqK7Te7WFJRgPrsc4sMmhYWvyYromdLJ0T-p23rgJoYeaSzOG5yfFVdWy9wVbfmxVsJN253TOYqIui3yYbzQGHZGTFyJhSt5COTbbg_Xk-xfJzu9loqML4Pm7TggaWdHwlSQYKUouu4HoqDmaTYSllV/w400-h400/Blog%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_uYf5GOylJEPl6xBipJVHR4j0jramufNluSYBYX7upKHiJxSNTVdgoFBY5NZy6n-vLm2yB_17H89XWUjFeCy7I_uJCd1MjTcS_A0uLZNuCcQpip05J3anOZVrm5B34UESzjOLhcMMY1riRpX3ifEBkAWKmQ1BpqyjGjTUXtfvWwhbkWcBhoDcJj3gicR6/s600/Blog%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bitty Goody Basket ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_uYf5GOylJEPl6xBipJVHR4j0jramufNluSYBYX7upKHiJxSNTVdgoFBY5NZy6n-vLm2yB_17H89XWUjFeCy7I_uJCd1MjTcS_A0uLZNuCcQpip05J3anOZVrm5B34UESzjOLhcMMY1riRpX3ifEBkAWKmQ1BpqyjGjTUXtfvWwhbkWcBhoDcJj3gicR6/w400-h400/Blog%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>This is an easy, springtime project that can definitely be a scrap buster! It uses minimal supplies and is perfect for Easter, May Day, or a special gift. Fill it with treats and/or treasures...I can even see this as a little mending basket filled with needles, tiny scissors, and spools of thread. For this post, I used <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fphl" target="_blank">HeatnBond Craft Extra Firm Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/4anb9" target="_blank">HeatnBond Medium Weight Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing</a>, and <a href="https://shrsl.com/42ijh" target="_blank">SpraynBond Pattern & Stencil Spray</a>...plus, I give you tips for using each of these items. I also used two 8.5" squares of fabric and one 2" x 9" strip of fabric and a couple buttons.

I am thrilled to be sharing such bright and happy fabrics from <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/" target="_blank">Poppie Cotton</a> today! I have some very special projects lined up...all created with the new <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/collections/finding-wonder-fabric" target="_blank">Finding Wonder fabric collection</a> designed by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sheri.mcculley/" target="_blank">Sheri McCulley</a> for <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/" target="_blank">Poppie Cotton</a>. I enjoyed putting on my quilt designer hat and playing with these songbird prints. This brand new fabric collection (shipping to quilt shops this month) has truly wonderful focal fabrics with the cutest, sunshiny birds....plus butterflies, bugs, blossoms, hearts, twinkles, stripes, and florals…all done in a soft, muted color palette. These pretty pastel prints make my heart smile!<p></p><p>I recently designed a new large tote bag pattern that I will be releasing later this year and I thought it would be fun to test it out with this fabric collection and give you a little peek! I already have an oversized tote bag pattern (<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/941372669" target="_blank">Forty-Five Tote Bag</a>) and a medium-sized tote bag pattern (<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1478737849" target="_blank">Mini-Medi Tote Bag</a>) in my current catalog...and this one fits in-between as a large tote. It has a fun shaped pocket on the front and on the back...and has large pockets inside. I had fun creating the patchwork and putting this extremely useful bag together.

It is new project tutorial day - time to share my February project created for <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web</a> with you! I always enjoy putting on my <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/designers/" target="_blank">Fabric Education Designer</a> hat and creating new projects/tutorials to share with you on the Therm O Web blog. Each month, I share a new project and you give you my tips and tricks for using their wonderful line of fabric, craft, and sewing products. For the month of February, the blog is focused on quick scrappy projects, kitchen sewing, paper-piecing, and sewing for kids. I created a brand new project that was posted yesterday - it is a c<a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/scrappy-shamrocks-small-quilt-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">omplete project tutorial for my "Scrappy Shamrocks" small quilt</a>. My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with templates, and step-by-step directions with color photos. This is a fast and easy project, perfect for using up scraps and great for beginners. I chose to use green and white fabric scraps from my stash. You can make this quilt as small or as large as you like - simply adjust the number of 6" finished blocks you use. My finished quilt is 24" x 24" - a great size for a wall hanging or a table topper. I hope you will stop by the Therm O Web blog and <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/scrappy-shamrocks-small-quilt-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">check out my project and tutorial</a>...<p></p><p>This is an easy, St. Patrick's Day project that can definitely be a scrap buster...make it as planned or as scrappy as you like! It combines easy appliqué blocks and a simple nine-patch blocks. For this post, I used <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x0ek" target="_blank">HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zk" target="_blank">HeatnBond Fusible Fleece</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/40iqg" target="_blank">SpraynBond Basting Adhesive Fabric Spray</a>, and <a href="https://shrsl.com/47xiy" target="_blank">StitchnSew EZ Print Quilt Block Sheets</a> (optional)...plus, I give you tips for using each of these items!

The templates I provide for each of my projects are printed on 8.5" x 11" paper, so you can print the templates directly on the <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x0ek" target="_blank">HeatnBond Lite Adhesive Sheets</a> and skip the tracing step.

It has been a super busy week, but I had to stop by and visit with you again today - I wanted to share photos from my second cookie decorating class over the weekend...</p><p>You may remember reading about my dear friend <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com/2023/12/christmas-cookies-and-holiday-hearts.html" target="_blank">Leslie and I taking a Christmas cookie decorating class in December</a>. This past Saturday (the day before the Super Bowl), we took a second class and invited two more friends along for the fun! Living in Kansas City, of course this class was a Chiefs cookie decorating class. We visited the same local small business owner that teaches cookie decorating classes in her home. <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Fclkunze%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0Mn1JoANb97BgotZsvxNpUf94E0io2XdKoQVwy1_M49-3fdTMqPq7bZNE&h=AT3fc3qPe-BoTblczhwGfJYD-y3OoSkSasGbLBLFvD_naUOOfDpcjmuy0OTIf60pkK6NMFde56-r0C5xtpw-TqCYQKgu5BIS1yySjnxbcpfEf5ZPEtAtqducbjdTBc8stQo" target="_blank">Cindy's Cookie Co.</a> is located in Olathe, KS...and if you are in the area, you should check her out! We arrived at 10:00 AM on Saturday morning for the 2-hour sold-out class. We each had our own workstations with six fresh baked sugar cookies, several bags of royal icing and all the tools needed to complete our decorating. This time we were able to be a little more creative and pick how we wanted to decorate a couple of the cookies. I opted to put #95 on my jersey (popular numbers were 15, 87 and 10, but I opted for a defensive player) and I decided to put TRAVIS on my friendship bracelet (it worked for my husband - his name is Travis...and for Travis Kelce). I felt more comfortable working with royal icing this time and I did a pretty good job - in fact, everyone did...we had a great teacher. She gave us more tips and tricks regarding tools and supplies and where to purchase materials...we had a practice sheet to work with the icing before starting our cookies...plus she had a bottle of water and a snack at each workstation. We had such a great time! Plus, Leslie embroidered matching Chiefs aprons for the four of us, which made the day even more special and memorable!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUMVLiJp20D9k-hh1PhA41lYIpzIDgy7PxjmbBn_1vvnvbmT2XbNTBn2acVEt73oiZ1iXoq_mV1r0RKTZdeNf0MutmzBSXEM8wTio2TGLV6WYunqUBt6gKab0qdEnjjDAN0innso_E4VAqScKYMHaRO-lfLQ8NfI9onbR4fwPjE3vq0viS9dR_L_lFbWz/s600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZUMVLiJp20D9k-hh1PhA41lYIpzIDgy7PxjmbBn_1vvnvbmT2XbNTBn2acVEt73oiZ1iXoq_mV1r0RKTZdeNf0MutmzBSXEM8wTio2TGLV6WYunqUBt6gKab0qdEnjjDAN0innso_E4VAqScKYMHaRO-lfLQ8NfI9onbR4fwPjE3vq0viS9dR_L_lFbWz/w400-h400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The teacher's assortment of cookies...</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitjGYu2h5g0-4Nu_5pVy9HO3fHz79XYu_av5EGb8E8Xa9deAwAS_W4mJgV_pZbgORQV07m8yaekciWMBKfAmKDI_zr8KsHYw6vFz4a8FTtzuKAkJFIMbfm0JXghRB24gCb5P_k1bK6rFS3sSqyZ1oWmFgyPTMNwT3Hdfo8g3Y-cpoiPoRH6JizHxVoZFNV/s600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitjGYu2h5g0-4Nu_5pVy9HO3fHz79XYu_av5EGb8E8Xa9deAwAS_W4mJgV_pZbgORQV07m8yaekciWMBKfAmKDI_zr8KsHYw6vFz4a8FTtzuKAkJFIMbfm0JXghRB24gCb5P_k1bK6rFS3sSqyZ1oWmFgyPTMNwT3Hdfo8g3Y-cpoiPoRH6JizHxVoZFNV/w400-h400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCcHh28c2U-ggMg3np_M4mQGpxN1d4cj1M5SlceNKZeO6rC67zRDs5btrNOzPVQeJj7yf0BS6RBzQ-mXhOyiFcdj7PjNL0qJnv7fHUrbBPfyARZBMqOuIvoabN5O0skBcbYALeMmY1pX55SRD7xkez0MjqHb-pNIIaO3c7qXA5DSjbXs4jOmJOM0bhS8yb/s600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCcHh28c2U-ggMg3np_M4mQGpxN1d4cj1M5SlceNKZeO6rC67zRDs5btrNOzPVQeJj7yf0BS6RBzQ-mXhOyiFcdj7PjNL0qJnv7fHUrbBPfyARZBMqOuIvoabN5O0skBcbYALeMmY1pX55SRD7xkez0MjqHb-pNIIaO3c7qXA5DSjbXs4jOmJOM0bhS8yb/w400-h400/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4zeSBLRHPupiNQH_RSwG1Rd3nduTrChbb5mbpcBmYKqX6yMBdycC3TuTH3kPqhFnOQ6szYrKjGQiRKJ26VhOnoxB9KJuJNVy2B2DbUcTqrBTDEkVRpGqX6uGystHYUHLcnG5Nk6zKTXbhnVnGSTQ0MK4574kIDG7tUnzvYWxHdxTwe9-kRwx1usxsiBDO/s600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4zeSBLRHPupiNQH_RSwG1Rd3nduTrChbb5mbpcBmYKqX6yMBdycC3TuTH3kPqhFnOQ6szYrKjGQiRKJ26VhOnoxB9KJuJNVy2B2DbUcTqrBTDEkVRpGqX6uGystHYUHLcnG5Nk6zKTXbhnVnGSTQ0MK4574kIDG7tUnzvYWxHdxTwe9-kRwx1usxsiBDO/w400-h400/5.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPC8UdXHk2o3wi1Sqkzu5-vt8hKiJ6IqP2TYsDckgZv2p19iWMOkTbfZsYccY4thlAReih6g_xmzCFJtQkDSizhMnQGjTy090rK9E1IQQFxP-2r-ARLmxYiLKu5TWBCdozHlTlBRB7IG3CPGNTdsdvXO9uMIa4-1ndF2jsF4MYfQQsrZhR0xk4NWZZVZ8h/s600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPC8UdXHk2o3wi1Sqkzu5-vt8hKiJ6IqP2TYsDckgZv2p19iWMOkTbfZsYccY4thlAReih6g_xmzCFJtQkDSizhMnQGjTy090rK9E1IQQFxP-2r-ARLmxYiLKu5TWBCdozHlTlBRB7IG3CPGNTdsdvXO9uMIa4-1ndF2jsF4MYfQQsrZhR0xk4NWZZVZ8h/w400-h400/6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>I also have some photos from Union Station in KC with all the Chiefs decor - the entire city has been RED for a few weeks!

Today, I am sharing my brand new complimentary design, titled "<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank">Sweet Sips Mug Rug</a>." This snack mat is the perfect afternoon project and can be used all year long...and bonus, it also makes the sweetest heartfelt gift.<p></p><p>This 10.5" x 7" mug rug has a simple foundation pieced heart, combined with traditional patchwork. It is a great project for beginners and those wanting to try out a simple foundation-pieced project (basic foundation piecing knowledge is required). I used scraps/small pieces of fabric (the largest piece is the 11" x 7.5" backing) and lovely <a href="https://creatoriq.cc/3up6CzU" target="_blank">hand-dyed rick rack from Lady Dot Creates</a> to embellish this small quilting project. The fabric snippets I used are from the <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/promise-me" target="_blank">Promise Me fabric collection</a> by Michal Marko for Poppie Cotton (and a wee bit of <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/products/marshmallow-new-white-country-confetti" target="_blank">Country Confetti</a> for the heart background), but this love-filled design would work well with just about any fabric you have on hand! I used a <a href="https://shrsl.com/47xiy" target="_blank">StitchnSew EZ Print Quilt Block Sheet</a> (my favorite foundation "paper" for piecing) and <a href="https://shrsl.com/4cpi7" target="_blank">HeatnBond Fusible Fleece</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR7iNDSr5ttWKwLP8koOPmnhDfBdITzOkxh50SOOlmGQTOX8M3gGzxwPwUsgMuhelH32I_3WOeSwGaTpwPfnCWsA41sbZNI22FUgTZt-jib_eugt3JkE9oHG4C7SZpmsRozBmY6tYJKpYLdkPuZGCLzXnKsBQIKXDPN_gFZoPkwo-00pPS11IZFtxNBWHW/s600/BLOG%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sweet Sips Mug Rug ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR7iNDSr5ttWKwLP8koOPmnhDfBdITzOkxh50SOOlmGQTOX8M3gGzxwPwUsgMuhelH32I_3WOeSwGaTpwPfnCWsA41sbZNI22FUgTZt-jib_eugt3JkE9oHG4C7SZpmsRozBmY6tYJKpYLdkPuZGCLzXnKsBQIKXDPN_gFZoPkwo-00pPS11IZFtxNBWHW/w400-h400/BLOG%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0R_oQbwkVaVABrpkYOTwHwDJ_IkcNC3aeBNm_J38ZPX68VhOVDo0rWjEPKXtiXKFOadf8Y-G1n_nhxHPWJt6ZuSgHlydMnjAMnfFA1DXVv0j2lAZOjoqJjJUAPRSmTehUmJfl5GBk8mKlnY9IwraUWGJrWxRGA6Q84cqWpbmR8_UMe65eSIF8j6cnPAf3/s600/BLOG%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sweet Sips Mug Rug ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0R_oQbwkVaVABrpkYOTwHwDJ_IkcNC3aeBNm_J38ZPX68VhOVDo0rWjEPKXtiXKFOadf8Y-G1n_nhxHPWJt6ZuSgHlydMnjAMnfFA1DXVv0j2lAZOjoqJjJUAPRSmTehUmJfl5GBk8mKlnY9IwraUWGJrWxRGA6Q84cqWpbmR8_UMe65eSIF8j6cnPAf3/w400-h400/BLOG%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;">You can find the free printable PDF pattern here:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/</a></div></h3><p>I kindly ask you do not post the actual pattern on the Internet/social media or on Pinterest - instead, post a photo of the finished piece and/or direct users to this post or my website.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfvNn5LdvtFrGizlSs2jr2nmM6yV1rWDv7qD9cDZDsbVx1O8AhpX1jWME6PoLTJ6ZwuwaoJqSoho-871PN9Zw_5STbYbe_7yxmXqe_dFRvM59OWfBKBA8DaoZ6xgJtwByEu8aVXjB4MNwrvX50rS3KU3lV0RN4W23Dm9drQSqlIRlHmzgnd1eTKRm2cG5/s600/BLOG%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sweet Sips Mug Rug ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfvNn5LdvtFrGizlSs2jr2nmM6yV1rWDv7qD9cDZDsbVx1O8AhpX1jWME6PoLTJ6ZwuwaoJqSoho-871PN9Zw_5STbYbe_7yxmXqe_dFRvM59OWfBKBA8DaoZ6xgJtwByEu8aVXjB4MNwrvX50rS3KU3lV0RN4W23Dm9drQSqlIRlHmzgnd1eTKRm2cG5/w400-h400/BLOG%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>I hope this <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank">free pattern</a> will entice you to take a look at <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/catalog/" target="_blank">my design catalog</a> and <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a> and check out <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/?section_id=31363418" target="_blank">my sewing and quilting patterns</a>.

I am back today with a brand <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1656427148" target="_blank">new quilt pattern release</a>. Truth be told, I had a completely different plan for this pattern, but sometimes things don't work out as envisioned. So, in true Belinda fashion, I quickly changed course and decided to finish this pattern and make it available in <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>.<p></p><p>“<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1656427148" target="_blank">Sweet Snacks Mug Rug</a>" is machine appliqué, along with traditional piecing and assembly. It measures 10" x 7" and works perfectly for a snack mat. The pattern contains basic machine appliqué instructions, appliqué templates, and comprehensive/detailed instructions with color diagrams...<span> and is super quick and easy to create</span>. This 8-page pattern is designed to use scraps and small pieces of fabric...or would work great with your favorite fabric collection. The largest piece of fabric needed is for the backing (10.5" x 7.5"). This project is great for beginners or those wanting to dabble in appliqué....and is perfect for seasonal sewing and gift giving!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSrnh1YJBE7ilz2mZgS-0GYpgD4s4CWtR31pxYvkhcUyFrO5BugBSNHeaz0pORsWE5CoPcP6aoKi2Ac0UmwmL2gzIESE9ek24473pHQG5rGUblHcQ4pkrp-LWACWpdKeYCOcImVNBHZG_TQN8N6UbN59VGdphZJm40YoBcGaPCfm6XXlwh_h47w6OF292D/s777/BLOG%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sweet Snacks Mug Rug ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSrnh1YJBE7ilz2mZgS-0GYpgD4s4CWtR31pxYvkhcUyFrO5BugBSNHeaz0pORsWE5CoPcP6aoKi2Ac0UmwmL2gzIESE9ek24473pHQG5rGUblHcQ4pkrp-LWACWpdKeYCOcImVNBHZG_TQN8N6UbN59VGdphZJm40YoBcGaPCfm6XXlwh_h47w6OF292D/w494-h640/BLOG%202.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><p>The cover model was created with scraps from the <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/prairie-sisters-homestead" target="_blank">Prairie Sisters Homestead collection by Lori Woods for Poppie Cotton</a> along with a small piece of <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/products/marshmallow-new-white-country-confetti" target="_blank">Country Confetti</a> (also from Poppie Cotton) for the appliqué background.

It is new project tutorial day - time to share my January project created for <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web</a> with you! I always enjoy putting on my <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/designers/" target="_blank">Fabric Education Designer</a> hat and creating new projects/tutorials to share with you on the Therm O Web blog. Each month, I share a new project and you give you my tips and tricks for using their wonderful line of fabric, craft, and sewing products. For the month of January, the blog is focused on sewing for yourself, organizational projects, quick sew quilt blocks, and using up scraps. I created a brand new project that was posted yesterday - it is a <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/love-on-point-small-quilt-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">complete project tutorial for my "Love on Point" small quilt</a>. My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with templates, and step-by-step directions with color photos. This is a fast and easy project, perfect for using up scraps and great for beginners. I chose to use up some Valentine fabric scraps from last year. You can make this quilt as small or as large as you like - simply adjust the number of 5" finished blocks you use. My finished quilt is 25" x 25" - a great size for a wall hanging or a table topper. I hope you will stop by the Therm O Web blog and <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/love-on-point-small-quilt-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">check out my project and tutorial</a>...<p></p><p>This is an easy, Valentine project that can definitely be a scrap buster...make it as planned or as scrappy as you like! It combines easy appliqué blocks and simple foundation pieced blocks. For this post, I used <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zi" target="_blank">HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/4cpi7" target="_blank">HeatnBond Fusible Fleece</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/47xiy" target="_blank">StitchnSew EZ Print Quilt Block Sheets</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/40iqg" target="_blank">SpraynBond Basting Adhesive Fabric Spray</a>, and <a href="https://shrsl.com/4anb9" target="_blank">HeatnBond Medium Weight Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing</a>...plus, I give you tips for using each of these items!

I know I have shared these before, but they are so wonderful, I just had to share them again! We all know, I love the foundation piecing method (I have taught several classes on this technique and I have several patterns that use this technique). <a href="https://shrsl.com/47xiy" target="_blank">StitchnSew EZ Quilt Block Sheets</a> provide great stabilization/support and are easily removed by tearing away, up to the stitches, without distorting stitches/embroidery. These sheets are super soft and tear easily....and they are made to fit your inkjet printer, so you can print directly on the material! I can't tell you how much I love these sheets compared to regular foundation piecing paper - they are a favorite in my studio!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G67n5T4_-70?si=9tqPEu9kxzgO6dWV" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: left;">If you have questions on any <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web or HeatnBond/SpraynBond products</a> or would like to see a specific type of product in one of my projects, drop me a comment or email.</p><p>You will have to <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/love-on-point-small-quilt-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">visit the ThermOWeb blog for my complete tutorial and pattern</a>, but I am posting a few photos here...</p><p>Here is a direct link to the project tutorial:<br /><a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/love-on-point-small-quilt-featuring-heatnbond" target="_blank">https://blog.thermoweb.com/love-on-point-small-quilt-featuring-heatnbond</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTXvbhxnYcsguYrZ9VrHXbRsjzNES6ljOyCbs5SzvHC5jRMekM75t2vRMYHdNR3pz1msE4SDXZG-13ftbOfzSScJ-59HU6Nw4XjKn954gF4Lsr7-gRA4yCiOQuWxxGJN83Xc617ScHumjTQDLcZs7j9tKO0b7NwJp3EKR5sp9m5NSs0VbYpdCAomZBjPOl/s600/BLOG%204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Love on Point Small Quilt ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTXvbhxnYcsguYrZ9VrHXbRsjzNES6ljOyCbs5SzvHC5jRMekM75t2vRMYHdNR3pz1msE4SDXZG-13ftbOfzSScJ-59HU6Nw4XjKn954gF4Lsr7-gRA4yCiOQuWxxGJN83Xc617ScHumjTQDLcZs7j9tKO0b7NwJp3EKR5sp9m5NSs0VbYpdCAomZBjPOl/w400-h400/BLOG%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnoEt4P6c-dp_SthmF2GYZcgL7vauq25KBSe5KrqBfwWvdag_BsEw4yRnI_iEULLmEMGzP9rqQXBdckPpSX-ysTJAJqSJSEQwRuWrSCJtyNxLRlQa6_9sc0xNg1zwhyphenhyphenD1dgJo44mrdNeZZoSeaIcGf05KmOdlFkJiKGOVi60HKeK05yOm6cWw0hY-jnE7-/s600/BLOG%205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Love on Point Small Quilt ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnoEt4P6c-dp_SthmF2GYZcgL7vauq25KBSe5KrqBfwWvdag_BsEw4yRnI_iEULLmEMGzP9rqQXBdckPpSX-ysTJAJqSJSEQwRuWrSCJtyNxLRlQa6_9sc0xNg1zwhyphenhyphenD1dgJo44mrdNeZZoSeaIcGf05KmOdlFkJiKGOVi60HKeK05yOm6cWw0hY-jnE7-/w400-h400/BLOG%205.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>I hope this project gets you excited to create something special and unique...</p><p>I am creating monthly projects for the <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/" target="_blank">ThermOWeb Blog</a> and I will be sure to post here when I have a new tutorial available.

I have some very special projects lined up...all created with the new <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/promise-me" target="_blank">Promise Me fabric collection</a> designed by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/micush.co" target="_blank">Michal Marco</a> for <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/" target="_blank">Poppie Cotton</a>. I enjoyed putting on my quilt designer hat and playing with these gorgeous prints. This brand new fabric collection (shipping to quilt shops this month) has a truly wonderful focal fabric with all sorts of gardening tools and accessories, lovely roses, pretty daisies and bees, strawberries, clover (with teeny tiny ladybugs), and florals…all done in a soft, cheerful color palette. These pretty prints make my heart sing!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs3uvll_0cKCxwHEJrz7U4WH7eqY4unI95P0G7QJu9QdluTxFjdjDql4kBYuAALTv7YUrtk8XSDjiBKLheOe0Qzwjq44JXGfzLK7wDU9rkz1YZ0RWzFILZ9Pp6Egqzh-tBJuwg280xwfzlOyJ3HgK783AzLxpjePv15Lcjl0JclOASmJ0a2Cxc59QBSEhU/s600/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Strawberry and Daisy Pillows ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs3uvll_0cKCxwHEJrz7U4WH7eqY4unI95P0G7QJu9QdluTxFjdjDql4kBYuAALTv7YUrtk8XSDjiBKLheOe0Qzwjq44JXGfzLK7wDU9rkz1YZ0RWzFILZ9Pp6Egqzh-tBJuwg280xwfzlOyJ3HgK783AzLxpjePv15Lcjl0JclOASmJ0a2Cxc59QBSEhU/w400-h400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2u5knZlcAp1GxZeWrB9uRFqT95j-kfm2fyRVu2KECIwfhWC0EKn2CFDFZlcXuxblVGJxtTJo8S2XnfSDLk6qndiQMlaQyU_QCy9uxr2LECJ1d9d6C3DLXltZDr59HQAIqdlzeamQnv-dZwaeYIIcSYcpZvV8NguHivRMSzPquDHElzkbEARJvRx2wUWKg/s600/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Projects Bags and Pincushion ©Copyright 2024 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2u5knZlcAp1GxZeWrB9uRFqT95j-kfm2fyRVu2KECIwfhWC0EKn2CFDFZlcXuxblVGJxtTJo8S2XnfSDLk6qndiQMlaQyU_QCy9uxr2LECJ1d9d6C3DLXltZDr59HQAIqdlzeamQnv-dZwaeYIIcSYcpZvV8NguHivRMSzPquDHElzkbEARJvRx2wUWKg/w400-h400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>I knew when I saw these prints (months ago) that they would be great for a pair of pillows, so that was my plan...and I decided to use a couple blocks from my <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1624014727/farmstead-finds-a-traditional-quilt" target="_blank">Farmstead Finds quilt pattern</a>.

It is new project tutorial day - time to share my December project created for <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web</a> with you! I always enjoy putting on my <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/designers/" target="_blank">Fabric Education Designer</a> hat and creating new projects/tutorials to share with you on the Therm O Web blog. Each month, I share a fun, new project and give you my tips and tricks for using their wonderful line of fabric, craft, and sewing products. For the month of December, the blog is focused on holiday gifts, star-themed projects, photo fabric projects and ornaments. I created a brand new project that was posted yesterday - it is a complete project tutorial for my "<a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/sugar-cookie-hoop-ornaments-featuring-spraynbond/" target="_blank">Sugar Cookie Hoop Ornaments</a>." My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with templates, and step-by-step directions with color photos. This is a quick and easy project, perfect for holiday decorating and gift giving. You can make them as simple or as complex as you like...and I provide templates for five different ornaments! These are the perfect size to tie on a package, hang on a tree, or decorate a holiday dining table.

I had to stop by and visit with you again today - I wanted to share how my holiday spirits were lifted over the weekend...<br /><br />My dear friend Leslie and I took a Christmas cookie decorating class and we had the best time. We had signed up for this class almost two months ago and had been anxiously awaiting the date. We took the class from a local small business owner that teaches cookie decorating classes in her home. <a href="https://linktr.ee/clkunze" target="_blank">Cindy's Cookie Co.</a> is located in Olathe, KS...and if you are in the area, you should check her out! We arrived at 1:00 PM on Saturday afternoon for the 2-hour class. There were ten total students and she had everything set-up so nicely! We each had our own workstation with six fresh baked sugar cookies, several bags of royal icing and all the tools needed to complete our decorating. This was my first time working with royal icing and I did pretty good for a first attempt - in fact, everyone did...we had a great teacher. She gave an educational lecture on each of the tools and supplies, her tips and tricks, and where to purchase materials...we had a practice sheet to work with the icing before starting our cookies...plus she had a bottle of water and a snack at each workstation. <br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

If you have been following along, then you know this is my fifth pattern release in the last two weeks - two cross stitch patterns and three quilting patterns!</p><p>My heart has been smiling while working on all sorts of creative projects - so let's talk about the latest one. Yes, it's another NEW cross stitch release alert! I just listed another winter/holiday cross stitch design called "Four Winter Wishes" and it is available in both <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1611661922" target="_blank">paper pattern</a> and <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1625845067" target="_blank">digital format</a> in my Etsy shop.

I finished these four designs as ornaments with a beaded edge, but they work perfectly as bowl fillers, finished with your favorite method...they would also look lovely as small framed designs. The fifteen-page pattern contains
charting for the <i>Four Winter Wishes </i>counted cross stitch designs (in
color and black and white), stitching instructions, stitch diagrams,
personalization page, enlarged Cross Stitch Over-One charts, and complete
finishing instructions (to finish as shown). Models are stitched with Weeks Dye Works Cotton Floss (DMC conversions included) on 32-count Examplar from Lakeside Linens, but most any neutral fabric will do...just make sure the white snowflakes will be visible. <br /><br />Digital Pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1625845067" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1625845067</a><br />Paper Pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1611661922" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1611661922</a><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVR61yw0dQHBQOjkDFIctsiuYpoXkzvxcrh1bDKrS6s8J02YH-dL7XMjfo1eYoSvOFknq7U37UVJgJjWqVfS5SIcdIUcM-77aC6z-iY-0duHkNC-ymI3Yn-5VTZmSCSq_2gGRt_GW6jNUiDaiiC_jC6IPsZpNECYRgd5sSkL9q37FMi7A9AhWv2dRJRcI/s600/BLOG%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Four Winter Wishes ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhVR61yw0dQHBQOjkDFIctsiuYpoXkzvxcrh1bDKrS6s8J02YH-dL7XMjfo1eYoSvOFknq7U37UVJgJjWqVfS5SIcdIUcM-77aC6z-iY-0duHkNC-ymI3Yn-5VTZmSCSq_2gGRt_GW6jNUiDaiiC_jC6IPsZpNECYRgd5sSkL9q37FMi7A9AhWv2dRJRcI/w400-h400/BLOG%205.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidiFE94F4WJoAiXz_wrzr6xfB5chlhAiM3J4LqUIXJFvQZsDFEYiIovWekICf4jQ2aqaI-e-PemtmfBWunltfQ0eUw7YJM0X7HdkTQOt6EyNM4U5IaEUBxYv3Rhh-C_TtcEMR92StGyNqWMtKisPlRWdcui-OLfniJOORCyHfE6x0x_ff0FuyRzfS-3vWc/s600/Blog%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Four Winter Wishes ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidiFE94F4WJoAiXz_wrzr6xfB5chlhAiM3J4LqUIXJFvQZsDFEYiIovWekICf4jQ2aqaI-e-PemtmfBWunltfQ0eUw7YJM0X7HdkTQOt6EyNM4U5IaEUBxYv3Rhh-C_TtcEMR92StGyNqWMtKisPlRWdcui-OLfniJOORCyHfE6x0x_ff0FuyRzfS-3vWc/w400-h400/Blog%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFPbzFtBBxShD5vtfrG87Zg9W7c3WAYSGq1ByjEEvP-dh1u8EyD2MfAjzXb-pYOu5HKPdyYB6OfFYNBe5YdDeqPuBlllct7TbNfwjDf1hEKU1DVnZayOmARNiDH_JigbiKpebzojoct-dssRwGyr4wht64GezOocxzm9XgVqFYEnP-_qLCSTGUwFVn-pO/s600/BLOG%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Four Winter Wishes ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLFPbzFtBBxShD5vtfrG87Zg9W7c3WAYSGq1ByjEEvP-dh1u8EyD2MfAjzXb-pYOu5HKPdyYB6OfFYNBe5YdDeqPuBlllct7TbNfwjDf1hEKU1DVnZayOmARNiDH_JigbiKpebzojoct-dssRwGyr4wht64GezOocxzm9XgVqFYEnP-_qLCSTGUwFVn-pO/w400-h400/BLOG%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8CXgH3kO1fxkRmXMDJL4u_3NGv3a19YmNRc2QpWUGmoNki3NukehyphenhyphenEHS3vCfOJpIvHfMQ1GsLXJk9RVHZAJhsLeR2f-uYfaZd_MC4BhXP74bLNdYYwy16HGXw9mPcZlsqpIGaairjZSba2Xv_Npb8zGVQ9CaRF1rsm92Aio0Bj2FFs0rET7CUvvhCgn_/s600/BLOG%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Four Winter Wishes ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy8CXgH3kO1fxkRmXMDJL4u_3NGv3a19YmNRc2QpWUGmoNki3NukehyphenhyphenEHS3vCfOJpIvHfMQ1GsLXJk9RVHZAJhsLeR2f-uYfaZd_MC4BhXP74bLNdYYwy16HGXw9mPcZlsqpIGaairjZSba2Xv_Npb8zGVQ9CaRF1rsm92Aio0Bj2FFs0rET7CUvvhCgn_/w400-h400/BLOG%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><div>I really hope you like this winter/holiday/Christmas design - I found my joy working on this special pattern!</div><div><br /></div><div>I have another new cross stitch model in the works and two more quilting/sewing patterns, as well...so stay tuned for those...</div><div><br /></div><div>...and, I have needlework finishing and custom work to complete for clients...piles of sewing to complete for my Etsy shop...and another project tutorial for the ThermOWeb blog that will be available December 20th, so I will be back to visit with you again before you know it!

I am back today with yet another <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1624014727" target="_blank">new quilt pattern</a> release...yes, my friends, I have been quite busy this week, getting more new patterns written. I want to thank you for your enthusiastic response to my latest cross stitch and quilting designs - the kind words have been very encouraging. <br /><br />This pattern has been a LONG time in the making. Those who know me well, know that I have wanted to convert many of my cross stitch designs and motifs to quilting patterns....this has been on my BRD bucket list for years! I have created a couple quilts from my cross stitch designs in the last year or two, but this is the first one I am releasing as a pattern for purchase. The special blocks in this quilt were created by converting four of my cross stitch motifs from some of my classic gameboard designs. I am calling this quilted wall hanging/throw quilt "<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1624014727" target="_blank">Farmstead Finds</a>." <br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUpmVwakYVQQUWRqfL0n5RMCQFNMIAESChznxr3nzNwz8SbfIV_nXRROG4v7gRSp5m8vPax-Q-mg8JMdN7djCILh7NDPUvROssUauTR8FEaO04U5sJ8YgxxLnUFY7lviMNmmjMMn7WUu2Wx7HF7M62JSz2nkCu8WN_K3mScEBvNfyBOOeqUybbYrnCfODT/s777/WEBSITE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Farmstead Finds ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUpmVwakYVQQUWRqfL0n5RMCQFNMIAESChznxr3nzNwz8SbfIV_nXRROG4v7gRSp5m8vPax-Q-mg8JMdN7djCILh7NDPUvROssUauTR8FEaO04U5sJ8YgxxLnUFY7lviMNmmjMMn7WUu2Wx7HF7M62JSz2nkCu8WN_K3mScEBvNfyBOOeqUybbYrnCfODT/w494-h640/WEBSITE.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><p>This quilt measures 42" x 42" and I added hanging pockets on the back to make it easy to display. I used a fat quarter stack of <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/prairie-sisters-homestead" target="_blank">Prairie Sisters Homestead</a> from Poppie Cotton, along with several Farmhouse Favorites (Country Confetti in Marshmallow White for the background and Country Confetti in Waffle Cone for sashing and binding...plus Gingham Picnic in Grass for the flower stems and strawberry hull)....but the pattern is written to use your favorite fabric collection. One of the reasons this pattern has been in the works for a few months is the amount of details and number of graphics I had to create - this pattern is 35-pages...yes, 35-pages of color images! Each block has step by step instructions and diagrams...and since it is all traditional quilting, I believe that even a beginner could tackle it. It is precut friendly and is great for fat quarters, charm packs and a small amount of yardage.<br /><br />Paper Pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1609839334" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1609839334</a><br />Digital Pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1624014727" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1624014727</a><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I look forward to sharing more patterns and tutorials with you in the coming months...</p><p>I have been crazy busy working on all sorts of creative projects, while fighting a yearly cold/flu that has moved to my chest with a bag cough - but enough of that - let's get to the happy news! Today, I am here to tell you all about one of those projects....yes, it's a NEW cross stitch design alert! I just released a brand new winter/holiday cross stitch design called "<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1602577212" target="_blank">All Spruced Up</a>" and it is available in both <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1616743073" target="_blank">paper pattern</a> and <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1602577212" target="_blank">digital format</a> in my <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>. Here are a few more details...</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">All Spruced Up (BRD-134)<br /></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;">Introducing the fifth set of Rick Rack Rounds!</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhftUZjfg0GIFLABZtsGSUMjiUQh_hh5f0ns_rDiwAV0mouxrWOE3torvT0smJmed-2lDxkiavc0O3l6PEXynUn0_aM2UfRqbl2aAsV4un2tRP2Qy2lfHHg5pz82vmyTNG4K94lBN577rEplglGua6y4RQyo_8-sX6K_-iWhm4YeltSYHA9XyaiC362QL28/s777/COVER%20WEBSITE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All Spruced Up ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhftUZjfg0GIFLABZtsGSUMjiUQh_hh5f0ns_rDiwAV0mouxrWOE3torvT0smJmed-2lDxkiavc0O3l6PEXynUn0_aM2UfRqbl2aAsV4un2tRP2Qy2lfHHg5pz82vmyTNG4K94lBN577rEplglGua6y4RQyo_8-sX6K_-iWhm4YeltSYHA9XyaiC362QL28/w494-h640/COVER%20WEBSITE.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><br /><div><div>Just like it's predecessors <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1028614966" target="_blank">Sweet Slice of Liberty</a>, <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1232417938" target="_blank">Hitchin' A Ride</a>, <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1117678715" target="_blank">Sunflower Delivery</a>, and <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1386931977" target="_blank">Perched on a Pincushion</a>, these have a stitch count of 48" x 48" and are stitched on 32-count fabric, measuring 3 1/4" round. I stitched "All Spruced Up" (named for the pine trees and the little details I added on these three) on 32-count Sand Dune by Lakeside Linens with Sulky 12 Wt. Cotton Petites (DMC equivalents are also provided). You can use almost any neutral fabric color for these winter beauties (just make sure your white floss will show) and pick your favorite cheerful floss colors. The pattern includes complete finishing instructions for my Rick Rack Rounds - and you can insert pins as I did...or they look great with just the rick rack (or trim of your choice) - I used hand-dyed rick rack from <a href="https://creatoriq.cc/3up6CzU" target="_blank">Lady Dot Creates</a>. For a little added detail, I added a few fun, optional embellishments: a mini pom-pom to the bird's hat (you could use wool or wool roving), red and white baker's twine to the reindeer's tree, and a floss bow to the wreath on on the gingerbread house...these tiny details make me HAPPY! Rick Rack Rounds make great bowl fillers or could be finished as seasonal ornaments. The pattern comes with a plethora of creative ideas! I filmed a comprehensive FlossTube video showing how to do the finishing on these, you can find it here: <a href="https://youtu.be/YkBe77naAZI" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/YkBe77naAZI</a>. These winter/holiday-themed rounds are quick to stitch and easy to finish...and more seasonal/holiday Rick Rack Rounds are on the way!</div><div><br /></div><div>Paper pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1616743073" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1616743073</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Digital pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1602577212" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1602577212</a></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl08KqZVhOM9c9BGXs0sAUhDo248vk93KcGqpnefEQBCRF-dgIBOkzcBlr5yWvvmWiZdFaTPSfWVYTgrvwc4VUT6-1J66hqPXPoCTDqubLL8p3JW1Dc-hvqqv1ylcWudbVTG_iBM6cHZHNAJXIpEfDfJdVWhhp5hPgwAvjyB6hhCqGk5DO0rCzxO8nnTYZ/s600/Blog%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All Spruced Up ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl08KqZVhOM9c9BGXs0sAUhDo248vk93KcGqpnefEQBCRF-dgIBOkzcBlr5yWvvmWiZdFaTPSfWVYTgrvwc4VUT6-1J66hqPXPoCTDqubLL8p3JW1Dc-hvqqv1ylcWudbVTG_iBM6cHZHNAJXIpEfDfJdVWhhp5hPgwAvjyB6hhCqGk5DO0rCzxO8nnTYZ/w400-h400/Blog%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNyiRTpzgnWbu03_Uu6g3ySr9YfTfpfuy0-ajMf11vAfuI8cCb6mpqJdqER6UNa917lc2nEjGAL6uBKjU0hUWV6AmFT9_g8NG4a9N8__pYXYPt-10imv59qt2M1iBnVQj-FU3OS3DQAs7ONEebqOROJq1hhBfbRRWWTXk52_WrnPcdamhXODFpaqKuYQv/s600/Blog%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All Spruced Up ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNyiRTpzgnWbu03_Uu6g3ySr9YfTfpfuy0-ajMf11vAfuI8cCb6mpqJdqER6UNa917lc2nEjGAL6uBKjU0hUWV6AmFT9_g8NG4a9N8__pYXYPt-10imv59qt2M1iBnVQj-FU3OS3DQAs7ONEebqOROJq1hhBfbRRWWTXk52_WrnPcdamhXODFpaqKuYQv/w400-h400/Blog%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAfVGlVpDEnjIEjOFakiqjuPcPf_WhNJA1B-CDMRgpp27yqQGwc1q55hFfEfnGqSmMq5bRIDpDCGdW9rztptpPwb8B_1AtMFIh04CAvXL1r_cqRxqF-V9VHktn9YlIucEsskUKoBzqUy1xVItDkL9zZdubIsF9iWxGUbTX_VKgWDu732TILpMxPxJBASzw/s600/Blog%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All Spruced Up ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAfVGlVpDEnjIEjOFakiqjuPcPf_WhNJA1B-CDMRgpp27yqQGwc1q55hFfEfnGqSmMq5bRIDpDCGdW9rztptpPwb8B_1AtMFIh04CAvXL1r_cqRxqF-V9VHktn9YlIucEsskUKoBzqUy1xVItDkL9zZdubIsF9iWxGUbTX_VKgWDu732TILpMxPxJBASzw/w400-h400/Blog%205.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZgNycTMtlz4AvsXve53LEsV4CGHloVZkQ_JDUnc_lrLyBmpDMm1oHyABUdJrUJ54PLHugqUNgc1I7xgAKgJLwSxWyxoEsVAcXY3ueEgd2jjTQz0wXnhiQ016euR1ZHdC4ofqzZBSODs80qpJ9lmJQMzbyhOaGLaY00vj7Mxtnu700LxfRrgndGjgU4ID/s2000/Blog%206.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="All Spruced Up ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZgNycTMtlz4AvsXve53LEsV4CGHloVZkQ_JDUnc_lrLyBmpDMm1oHyABUdJrUJ54PLHugqUNgc1I7xgAKgJLwSxWyxoEsVAcXY3ueEgd2jjTQz0wXnhiQ016euR1ZHdC4ofqzZBSODs80qpJ9lmJQMzbyhOaGLaY00vj7Mxtnu700LxfRrgndGjgU4ID/w400-h400/Blog%206.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><div>I really hope you like this new winter/holiday/Christmas inspired design - I found my joy working on this special set!</div><div><br /></div><div>I have another new cross stitch design in the works and three more quilting/sewing patterns, as well...so stay tuned for those...</div><div><br /></div><div>...and, I have needlework finishing and custom work to complete for clients...piles of sewing to complete for my Etsy shop...and another project tutorial for the ThermOWeb blog that will be available in December, so I will be back to visit with you again before you know it!

It is new project tutorial day - time to share my <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/sweet-treat-mini-stocking-featuring-heatnbond-draft/" target="_blank">November post</a> for the Therm O Web Blog with you! I always enjoy putting on my Fabric Education Designer hat and creating new projects/tutorials to share with you on their popular blog (Therm O Web are the makers of all those wonderful <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">HeatnBond and SpraynBond</a> products). Each month, I share a fun, new project and give you my tips and tricks for using their products. For the month of November, the blog is focused on holiday gifts, along with Christmas and winter ideas. I created a brand new project that was posted yesterday - it is a complete project tutorial for my "<a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/sweet-treat-mini-stocking-featuring-heatnbond-draft/" target="_blank">Sweet Treat Mini Stocking</a>." My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with templates, and step-by-step directions with color photos. This is a quick and easy project, perfect for holiday decorating and gift giving. If you think sewing a stocking may be a bit complex, then this is the project for you; these simple, step-by-step instructions will have you making your own stocking(s) in no time! These are the perfect size to tie on a package, hang on a tree, or hold a gift card and/or holiday treats. I hope you will stop by the <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/sweet-treat-mini-stocking-featuring-heatnbond-draft/" target="_blank">Therm O Web blog and check out my project and tutorial</a>...<p></p><p>This is a joy-filled sewing project that is perfect for fat quarters or fat eighths or scraps. For this post, I used <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x0em" target="_blank">HeatnBond Fusible Fleece</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/4anb9" target="_blank">HeatnBond Medium Weight Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/42ijh" target="_blank">SpraynBond Pattern & Stencil Spray</a>, and a <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x0ej" target="_blank">Pressing Paper Fabric and Craft Shee</a>t...plus, I give you tips for using these items!

I know I have talked about this product before, but it is so impressive, I am sharing it again. I use this for <u>every</u> project I create with paper templates - I even keep an extra bottle on hand, as it makes working with paper templates so much easier! <a href="https://shrsl.com/42ijh" target="_blank">SpraynBond Pattern & Stencil Spray</a> is a temporary, light-tack adhesive for fabric that will hold patterns down, keep stencils in place and can be used on rulers to keep the cutting guide straight. Pattern & Stencil Adhesive is repositionable, re-usable and does not leave that icky residue on fabrics. The templates I provide for today's tutorial can be printed on regular printer paper and used with SpraynBond Pattern & Stencil Spray to easily cut out your stockings (no tracing the templates or using pins or tape to hold the templates in place).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbxxTRyfVo8TJM1U9CWffdJf9p6Mw7QaepZgfs2WX_WwZTNcru20dnXye1n3vyIp7cS579KEPLvqaGzlWbPJNda7R5liXMhmmFMUCTeV8eJRwyGFUpG05VettbprRsiqA-5DfYsYcyl5lPR3WNjbHlKTbEFTvHiV1y1TxUVpD3PTZmshnPLQKoKzoCQvc/s600/SpraynBond%20Stencil.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sweet Treat Mini Stocking ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfbxxTRyfVo8TJM1U9CWffdJf9p6Mw7QaepZgfs2WX_WwZTNcru20dnXye1n3vyIp7cS579KEPLvqaGzlWbPJNda7R5liXMhmmFMUCTeV8eJRwyGFUpG05VettbprRsiqA-5DfYsYcyl5lPR3WNjbHlKTbEFTvHiV1y1TxUVpD3PTZmshnPLQKoKzoCQvc/w400-h400/SpraynBond%20Stencil.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>If you have questions on any <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">ThermOWeb HeatnBond products</a> or would like to see a specific type of product in one of my projects, drop me a comment or email.</p><p>You will have to <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/sweet-treat-mini-stocking-featuring-heatnbond-draft/" target="_blank">visit the ThermOWeb blog for my complete tutorial</a> and pattern, but I am posting a few photos here...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXJ1F5G4MeeOBFeWQQiZpV_zJHb1e6-JJ47uJRRh2kze-bd7yhHPOPBMJfv0LiKEfFQCj1-PCF9aUJ2hsmxYyeg_UH0GC4MlUmib4OuKbG1eR8UQcqbYAP_WkkEAc-7pCxmILDLyslbF_V2l-QOuuut_F1-k0yU2tXpVqqbU4gceWmnhehJwnGdHfRKog/s600/Blog%204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sweet Treat Mini Stocking ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXJ1F5G4MeeOBFeWQQiZpV_zJHb1e6-JJ47uJRRh2kze-bd7yhHPOPBMJfv0LiKEfFQCj1-PCF9aUJ2hsmxYyeg_UH0GC4MlUmib4OuKbG1eR8UQcqbYAP_WkkEAc-7pCxmILDLyslbF_V2l-QOuuut_F1-k0yU2tXpVqqbU4gceWmnhehJwnGdHfRKog/w400-h400/Blog%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJu3Av1NmbjP5qaT1HFhtFYc23mZ3jWqoRLFqJmYnrD2QiYUNhb1c_J7WA4JCYW3H85dADeBFQGMVZgezWZRykosa98qAC4DDVLRjZniRNKSCzyA70qCZ0-mnUH9qnbG_haKb2yqw5Pg7PwCmf2MpOmKx-OI7rY-ALL6KOYO0exOLFuSV3g8k5imS29Xi1/s600/Blog%205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sweet Treat Mini Stocking ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJu3Av1NmbjP5qaT1HFhtFYc23mZ3jWqoRLFqJmYnrD2QiYUNhb1c_J7WA4JCYW3H85dADeBFQGMVZgezWZRykosa98qAC4DDVLRjZniRNKSCzyA70qCZ0-mnUH9qnbG_haKb2yqw5Pg7PwCmf2MpOmKx-OI7rY-ALL6KOYO0exOLFuSV3g8k5imS29Xi1/w400-h400/Blog%205.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Here is a direct link to the project tutorial:</p><div><div><a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/sweet-treat-mini-stocking-featuring-heatnbond-draft/" target="_blank">https://blog.thermoweb.com/sweet-treat-mini-stocking-featuring-heatnbond/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>I hope this project gets you excited to create something special and unique...</div><div><br /></div><div>I am creating monthly projects for the ThermOWeb blog and will be sure to post here, when I do...my project for December is scheduled to be posted on December 20th...and I am working on another very fun holiday idea!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you for stopping by for a visit today - I always enjoy sharing with you.

I am back today with yet another new quilt pattern release...and I still have three more new designs I am working on. I want to thank you for your enthusiastic response to my "Big Blooms" large table runner (or bed runner) design. To those who commented and contacted me with such kind and positive words, you made my heart happy (once again!). I have written a pattern and it is available in my Etsy Shop in both <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1611372045" target="_blank">paper</a> and <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1597211682" target="_blank">digital</a> format...<p></p><p>“Big Blooms" is machine appliqué with traditional piecing and assembly. It measures 24" x 64" and fits my large farmhouse table - it would also be a lovely bed runner or wall hanging. The pattern contains basic machine appliqué instructions, appliqué templates, and comprehensive/detailed instructions with all sorts of color diagrams. This 13-page pattern is designed to use your favorite fabric collection and works great with precuts.</p><p>The model was created with a fat quarter stack of <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/hide-and-seek-ships-october" target="_blank">Hide & Seek by Snippets of Whimsy for Poppie Cotton</a> (available at quilt shops now) and 1-1/4 yards Country Confetti (Heavy Cream Cream) from Poppie Cotton, plus <a href="https://shrsl.com/4b2ws" target="_blank">HeatnBond Lite Iron-On Adhesive</a>, backing fabric and batting. The pattern gives a nice breakdown of materials, should you want to use a charm pack or precuts...or change fabric collections.</p><p>Paper Pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1611372045" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1611372045</a><br />Digital Pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1597211682" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1597211682</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This 17-page pattern is designed to use your favorite fabric collection and fits machines up to 18” in width (and the size can be easily be adjusted, if needed). </p><p>The model was created with a fat quarter stack of <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/moonbeam-dreams" target="_blank">Moonbeam Dreams</a> from <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/" target="_blank">Poppie Cotton</a> and 1-1/2 yards Country Confetti (<a href="https://poppiecotton.com/products/heavy-cream-cream-country-confetti" target="_blank">Heavy Cream Cream</a>) from Poppie Cotton, plus HeatnBond Fusible Fleece, and 1/4" hand-dyed twill tape (Old Tutu) from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ladydotcreates?section_id=21420015" target="_blank">Lady Dot Creates</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCBSNsJ9kYO2GO3B2xFet7TFA2FjWKxZzmNa_ByfKsTyg1NJZGSgte9MhdaqKShyphenhyphenNN075CyK-5t9jTbrMu1pyxehb3_x6E62BrROujz9r3GI0o-15mDQyUKPQ7MYgpr99E8A9bKYlycoD3GU7XJb5TAdaFHj67lkkwcPXanFrhkt_Q-pZ9_erFVDjgyuF/s777/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flutter and Flower ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCBSNsJ9kYO2GO3B2xFet7TFA2FjWKxZzmNa_ByfKsTyg1NJZGSgte9MhdaqKShyphenhyphenNN075CyK-5t9jTbrMu1pyxehb3_x6E62BrROujz9r3GI0o-15mDQyUKPQ7MYgpr99E8A9bKYlycoD3GU7XJb5TAdaFHj67lkkwcPXanFrhkt_Q-pZ9_erFVDjgyuF/s16000/6.jpg" /></a></div><p>Digital pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1607789751" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1607789751</a></p><p>Paper pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1607784455" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1607784455</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic5opxUGWysx8KY6zMk2OVAJn7h_xKAtTRoj7EHk1Tl2r6_Cf4GnpKJI4VLaH5elBQ0j8MK9Bp2O4tZqgnEwUAtoC8myYF0c1QJQGAhrV4f0sawKgroL-IVz88g7-NEJF7U2u16MVUAAgND_Z0IwtselBrNnE6hDzb54vqKEt14ny1SEA-lz_Nbzslp3n5/s600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flutter and Flower ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic5opxUGWysx8KY6zMk2OVAJn7h_xKAtTRoj7EHk1Tl2r6_Cf4GnpKJI4VLaH5elBQ0j8MK9Bp2O4tZqgnEwUAtoC8myYF0c1QJQGAhrV4f0sawKgroL-IVz88g7-NEJF7U2u16MVUAAgND_Z0IwtselBrNnE6hDzb54vqKEt14ny1SEA-lz_Nbzslp3n5/w400-h400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuxQjKowso9KuGwJFfBU5F-5e3ufaTzK_K9NyoFAuGSGC8PlPUEmudTWmQGktuIbP_hSb2bIhwXXpup4mzmyjuFa5wxxmAG3XzbuEt-wP5NUPL-AvenBkPjaNi_a2akjANKiCVh7oaVwipz4IYRMjBTL-Wdcxj3pdXHrfNtOuC9qNbKLF-lmvicMM7MqGQ/s600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flutter and Flower ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuxQjKowso9KuGwJFfBU5F-5e3ufaTzK_K9NyoFAuGSGC8PlPUEmudTWmQGktuIbP_hSb2bIhwXXpup4mzmyjuFa5wxxmAG3XzbuEt-wP5NUPL-AvenBkPjaNi_a2akjANKiCVh7oaVwipz4IYRMjBTL-Wdcxj3pdXHrfNtOuC9qNbKLF-lmvicMM7MqGQ/w400-h400/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunuUsCOk8ik1GCG6D96PbLpCVb-ScQy36zyxjklwi7Oz3z4b82lSadkXVGRR-1Jj_9E-4mOklHQfPKf6KbZYbQFi4MGO_Jysjtp2BupZJYEXEY6VVc0a7m_BtXxMTFDfc0gq4YDPEPdfmpzO5nYaUBsX9YDGYalscM4adUhabubDnAyNHcGM4j-iQEMOV/s600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flutter and Flower ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiunuUsCOk8ik1GCG6D96PbLpCVb-ScQy36zyxjklwi7Oz3z4b82lSadkXVGRR-1Jj_9E-4mOklHQfPKf6KbZYbQFi4MGO_Jysjtp2BupZJYEXEY6VVc0a7m_BtXxMTFDfc0gq4YDPEPdfmpzO5nYaUBsX9YDGYalscM4adUhabubDnAyNHcGM4j-iQEMOV/w400-h400/5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>I can't tell you how much joy this sewing machine cover/mat brings me every time I walk into my sewing studio...it is so calming and it makes me smile immediately.

I am thrilled to be today's stop on the tour - thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I have a very special sewing machine dust cover to share (and a little pincushion too!), created with the new <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/moonbeam-dreams" target="_blank">Moonbeam Dreams Fabric Collection</a> designed by Amada Grace Design for Poppie Cotton. I was thrilled to put on my quilt designer hat and work with these magical prints. This brand new collection (shipping this month) has lovely moth, firefly, star, moon and floral prints...all done in a calming color palette.<p></p><p> Let's take a close-up look at my project...</p><p><a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1607789751" target="_blank">"Flutter and Flower"</a><br />A Sewing Machine Dust Cover & Sewing Machine Mat</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8wCsw0GJbqPOh9A_m18-vzrnzTp8o8GpWfHgXG4eOMBLEngI8oyoONA83VUiCJBTKJ-G_HgzGtkmW24BtYkhJRpgDDU5P-rvCt4pERL27aUHL45DeJPpo8ItjuYAws-HhOIkrir7GsYG1eI6HpDiKLzYNA40y1F2iBWJz6Gialz6BrLX8OLVGVidWidWw/s600/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flutter and Flower ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8wCsw0GJbqPOh9A_m18-vzrnzTp8o8GpWfHgXG4eOMBLEngI8oyoONA83VUiCJBTKJ-G_HgzGtkmW24BtYkhJRpgDDU5P-rvCt4pERL27aUHL45DeJPpo8ItjuYAws-HhOIkrir7GsYG1eI6HpDiKLzYNA40y1F2iBWJz6Gialz6BrLX8OLVGVidWidWw/w400-h400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used a <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/moonbeam-dreams" target="_blank">Moonbeam Dreams</a> Fat Quarter Bundle and 1 1/2 yards of <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/products/heavy-cream-cream-country-confetti?pr_prod_strat=use_description&pr_rec_id=01e262c69&pr_rec_pid=7806436507798&pr_ref_pid=7806436245654&pr_seq=uniform" target="_blank">Country Confetti in Heavy Cream Cream</a> (lining/backing/binding) to create my cover/mat.

I wanted to make the cover useable at all times, so when it is not acting as a dust cover, it can be placed under the sewing machine as a mat/pad and the pockets hang down with all my tools handy. I used HeatnBond Fusible Fleece to give my cover good padding and stability.

The moth blocks are foundation paper-pieced and everything else is traditional piecing. Together, the moth blocks create one large pocket on the front of the cover - perfect for the machine pedal, power cord, quilt patterns, and/or the machine manual. The smaller pockets on the reverse side are made for sewing/stitching tools - such as a seam ripper, scissors, rulers, marking utensils, tweezers - you know, all those tools you need close at hand. I wanted to make the cover useable at all times, so when it is not acting as a dust cover, it can be placed under the sewing machine as a mat/pad and the pockets hang down with all my tools handy. I used HeatnBond Fusible Fleece to give my cover good padding and stability. For the side ties, I used hand-dyed twill tape (1/4") in color Old Tutu from Lady Dot Creates.

Today is a very special day - it is my 2023 Christmas Ornament release day! I hope you will take a moment and actually read this post and about the sentiment behind this design...then follow the link to my website for the chart...<p></p><p>A quick history for those who are new to my blog and/or designs...<br />For fifteen years, I was one of the featured designers in
the Just CrossStitch Special Christmas Ornament Issue. This magazine is a fan
favorite and is highly anticipated every year. For fifteen years, I was invited and participated in this special issue <u>without</u> payment - the issue that Just
CrossStitch Magazine always boasts is their "best-selling" issue of the
year. In 2020, I received my 16th invitation to design an ornament for 2021 and I
decided to stand up for myself and my fellow designers by publicly calling out JCS
magazine on their outdated policy. I asked them start paying designers fair compensation for their work...for without designers, there would be no needlework industry. You can read about my thought process and the letter I submitted to
them (along with their response) here:<br /><a href="https://blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-end-of-era-finding-my-worth.html" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-end-of-era-finding-my-worth.html</a></p><p>Keeping with tradition, I still wanted to create a cross stitch Christmas ornament each year, but I wanted to do it on my own terms...and today I am excited to share my 2023 design with you!</p><p>For the past couple years, I have struggled with how to release my holiday ornament, as I have tried to put more value in myself and my artistry. I didn't want to provide my ornament design for free to a publication/corporation that was profiting from it, as I truly believe that artists should be compensated appropriately for their work. However, the last couple years, I found myself wanting to provide it directly to my fans and needleworkers for free...and this year, my feelings have not changed. In a year full of challenges, unrest and divide, I want to do something positive and share some joy - after all, sheer happiness comes from giving. These last couple years have been rough - many have needed love, hope, positivity and strength to overcome challenges, loss, and anger - and during this season of giving, even with my own challenges and struggles, I have an abundance of blessings. Today, I want to thank YOU for a multitude of things: for allowing me the opportunity to continue to pursue my passion - for your kind support of <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/" target="_blank">my needlework and quilting designs</a> - for making purchases in <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com" target="_blank">my Etsy Shop</a> - for inspiring me - for your uplifting comments, notes and <a href="mailto: designer@blueribbondesigns.com" target="_blank">e-mails</a> - and for sharing your enthusiasm of all things needle and thread with me. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDKJ41vhCTw4F9nmhrN9lBIRr0tPIdE9PWOABTMgn5bNBnBjtO0ZH7Ojs1kyVAUELMUpFe9YqwHDBj6lqX3nKRpcCnEeTga88m6OfYLb69ZHQ7Y89nsoz33NLJNN9rNd0IV5nhTtR-m1ISE3RnxeY6aeUopA9ZI_nbdSXllGEgozmUCCaluEpKHFMRtHtF/s600/5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Peppermint Pressie ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDKJ41vhCTw4F9nmhrN9lBIRr0tPIdE9PWOABTMgn5bNBnBjtO0ZH7Ojs1kyVAUELMUpFe9YqwHDBj6lqX3nKRpcCnEeTga88m6OfYLb69ZHQ7Y89nsoz33NLJNN9rNd0IV5nhTtR-m1ISE3RnxeY6aeUopA9ZI_nbdSXllGEgozmUCCaluEpKHFMRtHtF/w400-h400/5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>My 2023 Christmas ornament is called "<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank">Peppermint Pressie</a>" and is available as <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank">a complimentary pattern</a>. It complements my previous ornaments and is in the same style as my 2020, 2021, and 2022 ornaments (Rejoicing Reindeer, My Frosty Friend, and Bundled Up Birdie). I continued in my flat-finish tradition (if you stitch it on 32-count fabric, 3 1/4" circles work perfectly) and used DMC floss (321 and 505) to make two-tone twisted cord. I decided to attach a <a href="https://a.co/d/b4Ytdj9" target="_blank">3/8" red gingham ribbon</a> bow with a couple <a href="https://a.co/d/h9WetLq" target="_blank">1/2" red jingle bells</a>. I used hand-dyed 32-count fabric this year....search your stash for a darker neutral fabric...just make sure the white floss will stand out. I used Weeks Dye Works cotton floss for the model and provide DMC conversions with the chart, if you prefer. I truly hope this happy squirrel, wearing a scarf and gifting a candy cane will bring you joy - please stitch it with a happy heart. </p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">You can find the printable PDF chart here:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I kindly ask you do not post the actual chart on the Internet/social media or on Pinterest - instead, post a photo of the finished piece and/or direct users to this post or <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/" target="_blank">my website</a>.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For those who have kindly asked if they could purchase this ornament design in the spirit of valuing my work (your messages make my heart happy!), I ask you talk about my designs with your stitching friends (spread the word about <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/" target="_blank">Blue Ribbon Designs</a>) and/or visit <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com">my Etsy Shop</a> to make a purchase...or you can <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brdgirl" target="_blank">Buy Me a Coffee</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/brdgirl" target="_blank">shop at Amazon via my link</a>...it is definitely not required or necessary, but truly appreciated - thank you for supporting my creativity and valuing my artistry!💕</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHa2wl2J4Ek-xnwfSIVUt91l5NYQmwlOj2SR1zsO09Hgp4EJmoFh5kgjGyq6W2t9IftITR_QqDxu7V7DsPpvxZZ-FeFSjsLJHe3ztWj4_91ZbMFOBdGTF9usGTTUQCfuAvDDT-wRTaSlbHSj9ygzOT69R7YomdJNWif640ueYUofx289Q9cJpgDNFStWn3/s600/4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Peppermint Pressie ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHa2wl2J4Ek-xnwfSIVUt91l5NYQmwlOj2SR1zsO09Hgp4EJmoFh5kgjGyq6W2t9IftITR_QqDxu7V7DsPpvxZZ-FeFSjsLJHe3ztWj4_91ZbMFOBdGTF9usGTTUQCfuAvDDT-wRTaSlbHSj9ygzOT69R7YomdJNWif640ueYUofx289Q9cJpgDNFStWn3/w400-h400/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC4ooUqMd39cgo72Sly1ko1_QC8mX2qkLGbMiWBqh8tgoincpzFGRE3AGrVCERvD6p9YXiKWHlLcC31AYtpvWg36EIEjtodFu_O5gpy22w48UoWoG8qMK9RuA5f6O5ftCPKcOY7jpsN_Qf6BtvVlQvVz3nRhKr3K0zLmvL0wsKa35Qm9VqlbNzs4P2gmDM/s600/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Peppermint Pressie ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC4ooUqMd39cgo72Sly1ko1_QC8mX2qkLGbMiWBqh8tgoincpzFGRE3AGrVCERvD6p9YXiKWHlLcC31AYtpvWg36EIEjtodFu_O5gpy22w48UoWoG8qMK9RuA5f6O5ftCPKcOY7jpsN_Qf6BtvVlQvVz3nRhKr3K0zLmvL0wsKa35Qm9VqlbNzs4P2gmDM/w400-h400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>To be fair, I want to note, Just CrossStitch Magazine has since changed their policy going forward (starting with the 2022 Christmas Ornament Issue) - they are now compensating designers for submissions. I should also note - they have not invited me to design an ornament since I sent them the letter in December 2020 and posted about it publicly online. I want to thank each and every one of you who spread the word regarding my blog post and called out Just CrossStitch Magazine for their outdated non-compensation policy (my message truly went viral!). Thankfully, we did make a difference!..and while they did not reach out to me for the 2022 or 2023 publication, I am proud of myself and everyone who stood with me to make this change that benefits all cross stitch designers working with them in the future. Thank you for helping me find my voice and make a difference.</p><p>Finally - if you plan to stitch "<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/free-charts/" target="_blank">Peppermint Pressie</a>," I hope you will share an image of your progress or finished ornament on social media and <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.com/social-media/" target="_blank">tag me</a>, so I can see it.</p><p>Enjoy and stitch it with joy in your heart!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZDa5sqJd73w-qf_SS3kwIbJQn2wykVXLUo53ixvk7DZ5Mw5GIE6tRFaeGV-5gkRxi-Iw5SWe7-wtJdobtES7BQn9aDCe3cbK5cr-KQAY1H1PiJ4nGPjG9q7nmPF_fao8eBnDsdSeawNDhf6xsXj6prT9xu7xPJk6eaLxgE5CgPIsE-7sCCjRbBa7B11X/s600/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Peppermint Pressie ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZDa5sqJd73w-qf_SS3kwIbJQn2wykVXLUo53ixvk7DZ5Mw5GIE6tRFaeGV-5gkRxi-Iw5SWe7-wtJdobtES7BQn9aDCe3cbK5cr-KQAY1H1PiJ4nGPjG9q7nmPF_fao8eBnDsdSeawNDhf6xsXj6prT9xu7xPJk6eaLxgE5CgPIsE-7sCCjRbBa7B11X/w400-h400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>BRD Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16314290947253299337noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920668240196977458.post-87948720959892612002023-10-17T07:00:00.010-05:002023-10-17T07:00:00.153-05:00Pick of the Patch Kitchen Towels<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVQ86IM9qlQJMP4WHi5f2BBGr5Bu7KvviJRMWkwbO2sYe0q5bVq4Sw5N7cjBWw7AFq2N9Lp98Eq-U8l2FwCDM-KFz6mfmbwO5XRkozuDrlwxPz89hj-NlL4MaortWlmwaxmKowwC_n9r8HM4Ls7JbMSg5nzSPwHVWVPX9PFUUyBYMYr8j-o54lAxcTOqlU/s600/Blog%201.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Pick of the Patch Kitchen Towels ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVQ86IM9qlQJMP4WHi5f2BBGr5Bu7KvviJRMWkwbO2sYe0q5bVq4Sw5N7cjBWw7AFq2N9Lp98Eq-U8l2FwCDM-KFz6mfmbwO5XRkozuDrlwxPz89hj-NlL4MaortWlmwaxmKowwC_n9r8HM4Ls7JbMSg5nzSPwHVWVPX9PFUUyBYMYr8j-o54lAxcTOqlU/w400-h400/Blog%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Greetings friends - happy Tuesday! It is <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pick-of-the-patch-kitchen-towel-featuring-heatnbond/" target="_blank">new project tutorial</a> day - time to share my October post for the <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/" target="_blank">Therm O Web Blog</a> with you! As a Fabric Education Designer for <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web</a> (they are the makers of all those wonderful <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">HeatnBond</a> and <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">SpraynBond</a> products), I create projects and tutorials for their very popular blog each month. I share a fun, new project and give you my tips and tricks for using their products. For the month of October, the blog is focused on fall and Halloween designs. I created a <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pick-of-the-patch-kitchen-towel-featuring-heatnbond/" target="_blank">brand new project</a> that was posted yesterday - it is a complete project tutorial for my <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pick-of-the-patch-kitchen-towel-featuring-heatnbond/" target="_blank">"Pick of the Patch Kitchen Towel."</a> This quick and easy fall project contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with templates, and step-by-step directions with color photos. The model uses a <a href="https://amzn.to/48FQwl0" target="_blank">standard cotton dish/kitchen towel</a> found in home or discount department stores and cotton quilting fabric (autumn and solid prints); as always, I encourage you to use fabrics/scraps you have on hand, to make this kitchen towel your own. I hope you will stop by the Therm O Web blog and check out my project and tutorial...<p></p><p>About this design:<br />The base towel is a <a href="https://amzn.to/48FQwl0" target="_blank">standard cotton kitchen towel</a> found pretty much any place you can purchase home goods (mine measure approximately 20" W x 28" H, but directions work for the size you have on hand). It is embellished with a focal fabric print across the bottom and several autumn appliqué motifs. This project can easily be completed in an afternoon and is suitable for a beginner. It also makes the perfect hostess gift - simply use a pretty ribbon to tie it up with a cookie cutter and/or potholder and a wooden spoon - you can even add a favorite recipe card.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHJiN-c2fIpn3pQ7nytvlvMn2cuWSwE45SUeYzeGv3IKX7aGEOrOG03U1Mfp-Qs9hMXawN9OvDqRm_6AZzCz-pKQg5qOpfVlhCbhQafvHvoCb84JbJ5LO1xXdf6_g4WvpOBlhHpEfu3qWj_XLQ1ksmsQyMFNWy4J_11bifeXL-KXjC5SvjMOVd5xNGMSPf/s600/Blog%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pick of the Patch Kitchen Towels ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHJiN-c2fIpn3pQ7nytvlvMn2cuWSwE45SUeYzeGv3IKX7aGEOrOG03U1Mfp-Qs9hMXawN9OvDqRm_6AZzCz-pKQg5qOpfVlhCbhQafvHvoCb84JbJ5LO1xXdf6_g4WvpOBlhHpEfu3qWj_XLQ1ksmsQyMFNWy4J_11bifeXL-KXjC5SvjMOVd5xNGMSPf/w400-h400/Blog%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>This seasonal sewing project is perfect for fat quarters or scraps.

HeatnBond EZ Print FeatherLite is a paper backed, iron-on, sewable, double-sided adhesive for bonding fabric without extra weight or stiffness. This lightweight formula is great for this particular project, as it gets even softer after laundering. It comes in 8.5" x 11" paperbacked sheets that fit an inkjet printer - simply load a sheet into your printer to print the applique templates provided in my tutorial - no tracing necessary!! </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/np0RTc5OyAs?si=Sg18LlTP-XiiLEGV" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>If you have questions on any <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web products</a> or would like to see a specific type of product in one of my projects, drop me a comment or email.</div><div><br /></div><div>You will have to visit the <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/" target="_blank">Therm O Web blog</a> for <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pick-of-the-patch-kitchen-towel-featuring-heatnbond/" target="_blank">my complete tutorial and pattern</a>, but I am posting a few photos here...</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMEPENAS-Jg9lGO06IF4JFNDwJXpcMocC5j_w6K0pnKXEfCJZ4U8QK9DZPwOU150IqafbMsyAZgYIdXVU-5LjW4g0oMC266zKdRzgYZC3_Mw2DU87k3GUBsrs-PaEbjXLEiN0ZTfi8dB06e6xab9fqKf1dgn9YXHmXRgABD0usNtJ-k347jvD49V2CLuTh/s600/Blog%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pick of the Patch Kitchen Towels ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMEPENAS-Jg9lGO06IF4JFNDwJXpcMocC5j_w6K0pnKXEfCJZ4U8QK9DZPwOU150IqafbMsyAZgYIdXVU-5LjW4g0oMC266zKdRzgYZC3_Mw2DU87k3GUBsrs-PaEbjXLEiN0ZTfi8dB06e6xab9fqKf1dgn9YXHmXRgABD0usNtJ-k347jvD49V2CLuTh/w400-h400/Blog%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjlnn5Kc9qooDbC8AiGHucFfyBeSv16gSbqufDuN8VMmYeGNqtyfaYKxWgnnKkBHPEOzLabGjAW7BoomFrZOM1IxAKnAaoyus0EcGE9odTn07bvxTL8h3iC7pz4dKfOmYXlpj4WweaAfuD_ikbohI5LBLMWtX9Cncwzjgs6A16jo3valFJ92wCjewNx_HC/s600/Blog%204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pick of the Patch Kitchen Towels ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjlnn5Kc9qooDbC8AiGHucFfyBeSv16gSbqufDuN8VMmYeGNqtyfaYKxWgnnKkBHPEOzLabGjAW7BoomFrZOM1IxAKnAaoyus0EcGE9odTn07bvxTL8h3iC7pz4dKfOmYXlpj4WweaAfuD_ikbohI5LBLMWtX9Cncwzjgs6A16jo3valFJ92wCjewNx_HC/w400-h400/Blog%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwvFfSR6JCpuMCrpZoewb146Ftfe5Max3nHsv-_Nuviwy64f4kaRFIuoQB8KV1SP0CiDitneqkQbHxlXTTVRWPxKbCVck9C32qCFZy4TSZkZLFAyTdLOnme8jvjtXszwi_zA2_lqGryXkmOCIWv9PoM1Np3WFQJKMn37DX_2MwS6cdOVf5Rt5YUN2-QSP/s600/Blog%205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Pick of the Patch Kitchen Towels ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwvFfSR6JCpuMCrpZoewb146Ftfe5Max3nHsv-_Nuviwy64f4kaRFIuoQB8KV1SP0CiDitneqkQbHxlXTTVRWPxKbCVck9C32qCFZy4TSZkZLFAyTdLOnme8jvjtXszwi_zA2_lqGryXkmOCIWv9PoM1Np3WFQJKMn37DX_2MwS6cdOVf5Rt5YUN2-QSP/w400-h400/Blog%205.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div>Here is a direct link to the project tutorial:</div><div><a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pick-of-the-patch-kitchen-towel-featuring-heatnbond/" target="_blank">https://blog.thermoweb.com/pick-of-the-patch-kitchen-towel-featuring-heatnbond/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>I hope this project gets you excited to create something special and unique...</div><div><br /></div><div>I am creating monthly projects for the <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/" style="color: #000ff0; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Therm O Web blog</a> and will be sure to post here, when I do...my project for November is scheduled to be posted on November 16th...and, as always, I am working on a very fun, seasonal idea!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you for stopping by for a visit today - I always enjoy sharing with you.

I am so happy to be today's stop on the <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/hide-and-seek-ships-october" target="_blank">Hide and Seek</a> Fabric Tour; thank you so much visiting with me. I really enjoyed playing with this whimsical, colorful fabric collection and have three projects to share with you. These were all created with the new <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/hide-and-seek-ships-october" target="_blank">Hide and Seek Fabric Collection</a> designed by Kenzie Kae Elston (<a href="https://snippetsofwhimsy.com/" target="_blank">Snippets of Whimsy</a>) for <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/" target="_blank">Poppie Cotton</a>. I enjoyed putting on my creative hat and playing with these joyful prints. This brand new collection (shipping to shops this month) has the cutest bunnies, turtles, gnomes, butterflies and chickens playing "hide and seek" under a cheerful sun amongst fabulous florals…all done soft blues, corals, yellows and sage greens. <p></p><p>This Poppie Cotton collection brings me so much joy - it has a lovely Scandinavian feel to me! I knew a large table runner for my farmhouse table was going to be in the works, along with a couple smaller projects. This month, for the runner, I didn't use a pattern - in fact, as usual, I just started playing around in EQ8 and made it up as I went along. I also whipped up a patchwork project bag and pincushion scissor keep.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zGRlMOChNU1QWMu2IWQp24z2-7gETBBBnJFKFNx3vEfvXfpPCpd1Sirgbg5KFNZ959VgPnoGrBFjV42XtEGTyK3s9UEATUGbKMgQDx6HsMmz_H59QaMWqwj8fnt74yrbm2lf28QWR0GsYmJatCJVc5FjGOp_nRVMP-jE257kPBZqA0Yuij7S331U5PGm/s600/Blog%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6zGRlMOChNU1QWMu2IWQp24z2-7gETBBBnJFKFNx3vEfvXfpPCpd1Sirgbg5KFNZ959VgPnoGrBFjV42XtEGTyK3s9UEATUGbKMgQDx6HsMmz_H59QaMWqwj8fnt74yrbm2lf28QWR0GsYmJatCJVc5FjGOp_nRVMP-jE257kPBZqA0Yuij7S331U5PGm/w400-h400/Blog%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXw6zpgZwKlVz1M6ecbZglWcD0Dr0u0o_l5n4MpyY7NnvqkOoP_AYoHS9J0aF064aSbqFYrSSMhDeVVxLPEY8s0jH8tqF3Aop_psw7N5ZKJdc8xmHY8sUFEEKTWasFeFwByoC0e3xZ8oscqtVhKSOvld4WQmFZ8CBbnC4q2mKODFhjWwABF6JdOO6DgeEL/s600/Blog%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXw6zpgZwKlVz1M6ecbZglWcD0Dr0u0o_l5n4MpyY7NnvqkOoP_AYoHS9J0aF064aSbqFYrSSMhDeVVxLPEY8s0jH8tqF3Aop_psw7N5ZKJdc8xmHY8sUFEEKTWasFeFwByoC0e3xZ8oscqtVhKSOvld4WQmFZ8CBbnC4q2mKODFhjWwABF6JdOO6DgeEL/w400-h400/Blog%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>To start, I created a table runner with a large flowering bloom on either end. This runner is basic, traditional piecing with two focal blocks featuring machine appliqué. I am calling it "Big Blooms," which really says it all. It measures 64" H x 24" W and I specially placed the fussy cut blocks to be right side up, depending on your viewpoint from around the table. I also fussy cut the centers of the large blooms (see enlarged image below). I used a fat quarter stack of <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/pages/hide-and-seek-ships-october" target="_blank">Hide and Seek</a>, along with a Farmhouse Favorite (<a href="https://poppiecotton.com/products/heavy-cream-cream-country-confetti" target="_blank">Country Confetti in Heavy Cream Cream</a>) for the appliqué background. I quilted it myself on my domestic machine and it turned out even better than I envisioned. My "Big Blooms" table runner is currently adorning my dining room table and is making the room happy and inviting.

I look forward to sharing more patterns and tutorials with you in the coming months.</p><p>My overnight schedule has me pretty much upside-down (and truthfully, a bit cranky), but it means less interruptions, so I have been working on all sorts of creative projects...and today, I am here to tell you all about one of those projects....yes, it's a new cross stitch design alert! I just released a brand new cross stitch pattern called "<a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575851785" target="_blank">Six Bats and a Black Cat</a>" and it is available in both <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575848945" target="_blank">paper pattern</a> and <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575851785" target="_blank">digital format</a> in my Etsy shop. This "merry not scary" Halloween design contains charting for the framed design (in both color and black & white), stitching instructions, and stitch diagrams. </p><p>Long time fans may recall a similar design I allowed Just Cross Stitch to publish over ten years ago. I always maintain all my design rights and I have wanted to release this pattern in my print/digital catalog for quite some time...with my own branding, in my own style, with my specifics and details. Magazines always make changes for space and adjust wording, finishing, photography, and even provided details - this drives me a bit crazy, as I am very particular about my brand and my artwork. I have a pile of classic designs that were published in magazines, that will be added to my design catalog, where they belong...with my personal vision and attention to detail!</p><p>Here are a few more details...</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575851785" target="_blank">Six Bats and a Black Cat (BRD-133)</a></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimAYgzbbZbhdV1iSSO_TDd12snc5PgNYzALu_u4GDmsRpKOqCAd_e0MZ3Ld341EC0c53htz8edq4Rrv7MVskUtNGBrhn-QYFdLDFYztybh6Zv0cGO6rpqndtOlDQpsKTKjoDDsRof0ZEYiAXc_iPqfevRIBQxkEd5OuEful9LuAUY8phHh8oaXBj4tsx5k/s777/Wwebsite%20and%20Blog%20600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Six Bats and a Black Cat ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="777" data-original-width="600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimAYgzbbZbhdV1iSSO_TDd12snc5PgNYzALu_u4GDmsRpKOqCAd_e0MZ3Ld341EC0c53htz8edq4Rrv7MVskUtNGBrhn-QYFdLDFYztybh6Zv0cGO6rpqndtOlDQpsKTKjoDDsRof0ZEYiAXc_iPqfevRIBQxkEd5OuEful9LuAUY8phHh8oaXBj4tsx5k/w494-h640/Wwebsite%20and%20Blog%20600.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><p>When I created this design, I planned it square, so it could not only be put in a frame, but it would look good in a tray, or on a box top, or as a pillow. The motifs around the border and throughout the design were created to work well for Halloween feather tree ornaments. It is in my usual Halloween style, which means it is more classic and happy, versus scary and gory....I am definitely a "Merry Halloween" girl!</p><p>The model was stitched with The Gentle Art Sampler Threads and DMC conversions are included.</p><p>I stitched it on 32-count Sand Dune (Standard) from Lakeside Linens, but it would look great on any orange, brown, gold or natural linen - any linen dark enough to show the white ghosts. On 32-count fabric, the design measures 7.5" x 7.5".</p><p>Stitches include: Cross Stitch over two linen threads, Back Stitch, French or Colonial Knots, Satin Stitch, and Smyrna Cross...diagrams are provided...and the specialty stitches can easily be converted to cross stitch for those who are working on Aida or shy away from specialty stitches.</p><p>Paper pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575848945" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575848945</a></p><p>Digital pattern: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575851785" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1575851785</a></p><p>I truly hope you find the new design a great addition to my catalog and my vast array of Halloween designs!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhADuAvzvHsSaSwo5Y60zwX6nydhR8SvSPSmbCW4UZdiCHN_IUvXpNZlLq_QYEJNRdqsDhuHv1HoNDaVHvEhoPN5hR1AbDP0jVQJqZD8Jwon_IJgTEW-u6H-IHN3RXS8PCezYhHON-oVTo9TRh_nRgR5IFLdw5kKo0X8_o49-Op5kYhSZQPK0_EfzG_zUvy/s600/Blog%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Six Bats and a Black Cat ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhADuAvzvHsSaSwo5Y60zwX6nydhR8SvSPSmbCW4UZdiCHN_IUvXpNZlLq_QYEJNRdqsDhuHv1HoNDaVHvEhoPN5hR1AbDP0jVQJqZD8Jwon_IJgTEW-u6H-IHN3RXS8PCezYhHON-oVTo9TRh_nRgR5IFLdw5kKo0X8_o49-Op5kYhSZQPK0_EfzG_zUvy/s16000/Blog%201.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>Next up, I will be adding a couple new sewing/quilting patterns to my catalog, so stay tuned for that...</p><p>...and, I have needlework finishing and custom work to complete for clients...piles of sewing to complete for my Etsy shop...another project tutorial for the <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web</a> Blog that will be available in October...plus my blog will be a stop on the <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/product-category/fabric/hide-and-seek/" target="_blank">Hide and Seek</a> Fabric Tour for <a href="https://poppiecotton.com/" target="_blank">Poppie Cotton</a> in a few weeks, so I will be back to visit with you again before you know it!

If you keep up with my blog, then you know I recently returned from northern Illinois, where I visited my momma and second dad - they have a lovely lakeside property with quite a few oak trees. While I was visiting, I helped clean up piles and piles of acorns...and I had the idea to collect and bring home some of the caps. I brought home three large Ziploc bags full. I had a master plan to make wool felted acorns for my Etsy shop. I explained the idea to my parents, who I am pretty sure thought I was a bit crazy...but after seeing the final product, I think they were impressed. I washed and roasted all the caps, to clean and preserve them...then added 100% New Zealand wool for the "nuts". Aren't they just the cutest?! You can find them here: <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com" target="_blank">https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com</a><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVa2e0dDQqgdBH8AeQYz4w-GLnaMPjURRejfrjE90Qm1PS0zUuR-ZtxSQ0CUcKfxyqzT6juHAScvFO5Cx7xyvXZ-rrHfBlgyDNVMuxjM5VFfT2fRFrDPWEaJVW2JB-tbe0-pkWcvZbmproOXBL5_OMBZXAZzLw9OmHxUWTtwHmY13v0-v3g0ZKfc6O1UXK/s600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wool Felted Acorns ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVa2e0dDQqgdBH8AeQYz4w-GLnaMPjURRejfrjE90Qm1PS0zUuR-ZtxSQ0CUcKfxyqzT6juHAScvFO5Cx7xyvXZ-rrHfBlgyDNVMuxjM5VFfT2fRFrDPWEaJVW2JB-tbe0-pkWcvZbmproOXBL5_OMBZXAZzLw9OmHxUWTtwHmY13v0-v3g0ZKfc6O1UXK/w400-h400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>I have started listing them in <a href="https://blueribbondesigns.etsy.com" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a> in sets of ten.

Can be used as a special pin or needle keep (my favorite use!). Perfect for seasonal decor through fall and winter… even year round.

It is new project tutorial day - time to share <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pumpkin-patch-wall-hanging-featuring-stitchnsew/" target="_blank">my September post for the Therm O Web Blog</a> with you! As a Fabric Education Designer for <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web</a> (they are the makers of all those wonderful <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">HeatnBond and SpraynBond products</a>), I create projects and tutorials for their very popular blog each month. I share a fun, new project and give you my tips and tricks for using their products. For the month of September, the blog is focused on fall and Halloween designs (and we got bonus points for creating a project that can be used for Halloween AND transition into fall). I created a brand new project that was posted yesterday - it is a complete project tutorial for my "<a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pumpkin-patch-wall-hanging-featuring-stitchnsew/" target="_blank">2-in-1 Pumpkin Patch Wall Hanging</a>." This seasonal quilted wall hanging contains a complete supply list, printable pattern with templates, a layout diagram, and step-by-step directions with color photos. The model uses cotton quilting fabric (autumn prints) and <a href="https://shrsl.com/47ym2" target="_blank">wool blend felt from Benzie Design</a> (my favorite), but I encourage you to use fabrics you have on hand, to make this small quilt your own. I hope you will stop by the Therm O Web blog and check out <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pumpkin-patch-wall-hanging-featuring-stitchnsew/" target="_blank">my project and tutorial</a>...</div><div><br /></div><div>About this design and what makes it a special "2-in-1" project:</div><div>The base quilt is traditional quilt blocks - created using the foundation piecing method. The wool felt pumpkins are appliquéd in place, but the wool felt jack-o-lantern faces naturally adhere to the pumpkins for a little Halloween charm (wool felt naturally adheres to itself)! This makes this project perfect for decorating all autumn season…and a great project for kids, as the facial pieces are interchangeable and can be moved around…then, simply remove the jack-o-lantern faces for fall decorating…</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1A_EwC9N7CI-oHkP4m0uamKCnby2E9yd-2PjtdSffusXLqFUeiXph2vW0EmznlWOP2D5iOkUjehoyue__S-6Sp-AvS0mQZtaHKIflel3byxBXbjSue2Qi8T9OrT0wuM9lpmEQS_ZKGa1ofAxrt9AXWm3d3VXVMm6qCXjOXQFvX5-wquP-FbEiwLP6YVM/s600/Blog%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="2-in-1 Pumpkin Patch Wall Hanging ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1A_EwC9N7CI-oHkP4m0uamKCnby2E9yd-2PjtdSffusXLqFUeiXph2vW0EmznlWOP2D5iOkUjehoyue__S-6Sp-AvS0mQZtaHKIflel3byxBXbjSue2Qi8T9OrT0wuM9lpmEQS_ZKGa1ofAxrt9AXWm3d3VXVMm6qCXjOXQFvX5-wquP-FbEiwLP6YVM/w400-h400/Blog%202.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>This is seasonal sewing project that is perfect for fat quarters or a jelly roll or scraps. I foundation pieced the quilt, using <a href="https://shrsl.com/47xiy" target="_blank">StitchnSew EZ Print Quilt Block Sheets</a> (oh how I love these sheets for foundation piecing!!). For this post, I also used <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zi" target="_blank">HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets</a>, <a href="https://shrsl.com/3wp0k" target="_blank">HeatnBond Fusible Fleece</a>, and <a href="https://shrsl.com/42ijh" target="_blank">SpraynBond Pattern & Stencil Spray</a>...plus, I give you tips for using each item! Visit the tutorial post for a complete and detailed supply list.</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's talk about the <a href="https://shrsl.com/47xiy" target="_blank">StitchnSew EZ Print Quilt Block Sheets</a>. We all know, I love the foundation piecing method (I have taught several classes on this technique and I have several patterns that use this technique). <a href="https://shrsl.com/47xiy" target="_blank">StitchnSew EZ Quilt Block Sheets</a> provide great stabilization/support and are easily removed by tearing away, up to the stitches, without distorting stitches/embroidery. These sheets are super soft and tear easily....and they are made to fit your inkjet printer, so you can print directly on the material! I can't tell you how much I love these sheets compared to regular foundation piecing paper - they are my new favorite thing!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G67n5T4_-70?si=MWbNjkEx9bySGI5y" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>If you have questions on any <a href="https://shrsl.com/3x2zr" target="_blank">Therm O Web products</a> or would like to see a specific type of product in one of my projects, drop me a comment or email.</div><div><br /></div><div>You will have to <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pumpkin-patch-wall-hanging-featuring-stitchnsew/" target="_blank">visit the Therm O Web blog for my complete tutorial and pattern</a>, but I am posting a few photos here...</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnnfQHThisUHMh7YGw6hMWLD7Eo0aTJfqVRO8v3OJzB_SfYggUeh_8YvRqiFB0g0heUZ9sGKIrzsQ9DArcAneuh0qRc9D6EeQIyQeVgOBdZSYGul9T-f7se9Y8r5wLdWvDjDn_QqwteNr07OHYlgpld_GaYgIjvIKWOF2xgcQBP7Yi4Kd6KszsWBVG7F-/s600/Blog%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="2-in-1 Pumpkin Patch Wall Hanging ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnnfQHThisUHMh7YGw6hMWLD7Eo0aTJfqVRO8v3OJzB_SfYggUeh_8YvRqiFB0g0heUZ9sGKIrzsQ9DArcAneuh0qRc9D6EeQIyQeVgOBdZSYGul9T-f7se9Y8r5wLdWvDjDn_QqwteNr07OHYlgpld_GaYgIjvIKWOF2xgcQBP7Yi4Kd6KszsWBVG7F-/w400-h400/Blog%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYXqcIac5dAMFL2WBOIHFEf7P0ttKGR6YYifa0t-NoF2YkcnkGizAOoMnfPS6AjN_2FT5Bpx299FsbN7PgdbmpvGMa-E_mY97oQjuHOFDjeXL2QThf1waa_JY2Vsa53hifRRHLrAlJGrkmCkTkeA7XBK37xirGueKDWFDn61gxZK4yTh_S7-Pl3tSnbD3/s600/Blog%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="2-in-1 Pumpkin Patch Wall Hanging ©Copyright 2023 Belinda Karls-Nace/Blue Ribbon Designs, LLC http://www.blueribbondesigns.blogspot.com" border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYXqcIac5dAMFL2WBOIHFEf7P0ttKGR6YYifa0t-NoF2YkcnkGizAOoMnfPS6AjN_2FT5Bpx299FsbN7PgdbmpvGMa-E_mY97oQjuHOFDjeXL2QThf1waa_JY2Vsa53hifRRHLrAlJGrkmCkTkeA7XBK37xirGueKDWFDn61gxZK4yTh_S7-Pl3tSnbD3/w400-h400/Blog%204.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div>Here is a direct link to the project tutorial:</div><div><a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/pumpkin-patch-wall-hanging-featuring-stitchnsew/" target="_blank">https://blog.thermoweb.com/pumpkin-patch-wall-hanging-featuring-stitchnsew/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>I hope this project gets you excited to create something special and unique...</div><div><br /></div><div>I am creating monthly projects for the <a href="https://blog.thermoweb.com/" target="_blank">Therm O Web blog</a> and will be sure to post here, when I do...my project for October is scheduled to be posted on October 17th...and, as always, I am working on a very fun, seasonal idea!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you for stopping by for a visit today - I always enjoy sharing with you.

I am back from my quick trip up to northern Illinois to visit my momma and second dad...and I thought I would quickly drop in to share some photos of my journey. It was a good trip, minus the standard (extensive) train delays. They live in a lovely lakeside home with incredible wildlife, birds and gardens. We spent most of our time at the house, working/playing outside...but we did make a trip up to Wisconsin to a favorite apple orchard (<a href="http://www.teneyckorchard.com/" target="_blank">Ten Eyck Orchard</a>). We also took the pontoon boat out for a trip all around the lake....and I did a little painting at my mom's artist easel. It was a good, quiet, artistic week...and here are a plethora of photos I took...<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0F4dw6FgmNk6B7gmxlw2ZhmSgAAlkDEqXWKFMYjBmt-izQixE4IKPznEY-0wtIYvodOv5C0XObgT-iyDE1cvs22Gnb-dzQDZF7OtGon54ylP8VRZdpFYzgLo76vUyirYPl_8tsg00F4WTx24Bis9FA9fR0KbkXpTZbujy4JKyuNg5sAGydDtJ_c8x0VHJ/s600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
