It’s time for block 3 in the I Love Home Quilt series. This quilt along with Jacquelynne from The Art of Home, has been so much fun! Each month I am sharing a few pictures of my block and hosting a giveaway. I hope that you will join the fun and stitch along with us.
Each block is designed to be hand appliqued but I just had to infuse my style and layer on some free motion quilting.
Supplies:
- I love home pattern
- Assorted fabrics
- Double sided fusible
- Sewing machine
- Iron
- Open toe free motion foot
- Frixion marking pen
- Basic Sewing Supplies
*Fabrics used in block include Patrick Loose Christmas Cheer and a few batiks.
It’s always so much fun to watch those small bits of fabric turn into a design right on your ironing board!
This month’s I Love Home quilt block has two chimneys and I could not resist adding some smoke to each of those stacks. For anyone wanting to give it a try but nervous about sewing freehand can draw it first with heat erasing pen. I like to use a Frixion but always give it a quick test before just diving in.
To help make my thread lines pop, I reached for a spool of Aurifil thread. The Medium Delft Blue jumps off the colorful prints and really outlines the design.
Each layer of the applique design gave me an opportunity to add my version of character and I love the way it turned out.
