Sweet Summertime Door Hanger

Are you ready for summer?

I am a summertime girl and love it so much I'm ready to break out the summer decor.

Be “ice cream social” this summer with this fun door hanger.

I'm over on the Thermoweb Blog today

with the full free tutorial to make your own.

The writing is so easy to stitch with  StitchnSew EZ Quilt Block Sheets • 8.5 in x 11 in

Let sweet summertime begin!

This door hanger finishes at 9 1/2" x 15" without the ribbon hanger.

Speaking of ribbon, this was the first time I used the 

Gina K. Designs Gingham Fancy Ribbon

and I never want to use another ribbon.

It's so different and easy to use.

I made a bow so easily.

This little applique door hanger is fun to make with HeatnBond EZ Print Lite and it's very dimensional with HeatnBond Fleece Fusible High Loft.

Go to Thermoweb and see.

Woof Woof Meow Pet Stockings

At Christmas time, are you like us and give your pets presents too?

This year Santa will have stockings to fill for our furry family members.
Mollie is ready!

Today I am over at Thermoweb with a tutorial to make quick patchwork stockings for your favorite 4 legged friends. 
 Those tails will be wagging with excitement when you combine
 HeatNBond fusible fleece
 with Moda's new fabric,
 Woof Woof Meow by Stacy Iest Hsu
 to make some super sweet pet stockings.

These fabrics are so fun and Aurifil 50 wt. in #2310 is a great match for stitching around those appliques.

I didn't forget the kitties or our shop cat, Corn Flake.
Braid a mouse tail with Aurifil 12 wt. #2479 to make your kitty purr.
The cuffs are cozy fleece just like Santa would make.

The full tutorial and free pattern is on the Thermoweb blog today.  

This is a great time of year (National Sewing Month) to start Christmas projects
and 
this is super beginner friendly!

While you are at Thermoweb,
 check out this sale and stock up on everything you need to make
these super sweet stockings.

Happy National Sewing Month!!

Ruger is excited too.

WATERMELON POTHOLDERS - OVEN MITTS

This watermelon shaped potholder doubles as an oven mitt.

 There is a pocket between the red watermelon and the green rind. 

This quick project celebrates the end of summer and would make a great hostess gift for your Labor Day gatherings.  

 The watermelon slice finishes at 13" x 13" to fit any size hand.

 The double layers of HeatNBond fusible fleece will keep the heat away.
