With the sparkle fabric facing up, carefully align the fabric to cover the bee’s wings. Carefully trim the top of the bee so the back is smooth and curved.Carefully align the pieced fabric FACE UP so the seam of the wide black strip is along the neck of the bee. Press a 2 ½” x 3 ½” piece of fusible web to the back of the sparkle white fabric which will be used for the wings. Press a 2 ½’ x 5 ½” piece of fusible web to the back of each pieced bee.Start with the black 2 ½” strip and alternate with the 1” gold and black strips.
Sew the black and gold strips together. But today, we are going to focus on the busy little bee.īy getting creative and with a little bit of piecing, you can create a super cute Bee applique. The GO! Critters die actually contains 3 different Critters, a Butterfly, a Bee and a Dragonfly. The Accuquilt GO! Die cutting system allows you to cut accurate shapes very quickly out of fabric which is perfect for applique. Isn’t this the most adorable little bee applique? As an Accuquilt GO! Getter, I get to play with some fun dies and this little guy comes from the GO! Critters Die (55030). Your first silverware roll is completed, now just make three more! These really do stitch up fast, sew them assembly line style! To store, just roll them up and tie with the ribbon. Top stitch close to the edge of the roll all the way around being sure to catch the edges of the opening and sew them shut. Turn the roll right side out and tuck in the raw edges on the opening. With a 1/4″ seam, stitch all the way around the roll leaving an opening for turning on the bottom. Layer the rectangle from the print fabric over the pocket, right sides together and pin in place. Tuck the ends out of the way so that you do not catch them in the side seams. Make sure that you will catch the ribbon when you stitch the side seam. Pin the ribbon flat on the right side of the pocket about halfway down the side of the roll. Next, take your 22 inch ribbon and fold almost in half leaving one end about one inch longer than the other. Do a couple of back stitches at the top to secure the channels. Stitch down from the markings on the pocket to make the silverware channels. These will mark the stitch lines to make the channels for the silverware. From the left side of the pocket, measure 2 inches, 3 1/2″ and 5″ at the top and bottom of the pocket. Layer the batting, the lining and the pocket all facing up as shown. Top stitch the top of the pocket at the fold stitching two lines, 1/8″ and 3/8″ away from the fold. Place the strip of interfacing inside and press. Take the 10″ x 10″ pocket and fold in half and press flat. 1 – 4 1/2″ x 10″ rectangle of interfacing. 1 - 10″ x 10″ rectangle of red print fabric for pocket. 1 - 9″ x 10″ rectangle of blue print fabric for lining. 1 - 9″ x 10″ rectangle of red print fabric for outside. 1/4 yd Medium Weight iron-on interfacing. 5/8 yd red print fabric for outside and pocket. I love that you can just wash them up, refill and use again and again. My quilt guild used to hold holiday potlucks and these made perfect gifts for my quilty friends for those dinners. These stitch up so fast that you will want to make several and give some away. Make one or tuck in a paper napkin, they all work well. They are sized perfectly to fit plastic or regular silverware and a napkin. They are still great for picnics, family reunions and bbq’s, or just throw them in the car when you grab some take out and go to the park. They are such a great project that I have revisited the pattern and updated the design. I first introduced these handy little silverware rolls back in 2015. Pick up a copy of Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting September/October issue for my pattern and more information. This is my favorite batting as the loft really shows off the quilting. The batting is Tuscany Cotton/Wool batting 80/20 generously provided by Hobbs. I used an allover edge to edge maple leaf design. Photo courtesy of Fons & Porter Love of Quilting Magazine, Copyright 2021 This quilt uses only four colors and you only make multiples of these two blocks for the design. It made it so easy to try different colors and draw up the blocks. I designed this quilt with EQ8 Quilt Design Software. The blenders are perfect for creating the maple leaf pattern in the blocks. I used blender cottons called Canvas by Deborah Edwards for Northcott. #ELECTRIC QUILT COUPON FULL#
Featured in the September/ October 2021 issue of Fons and Porter’s Love of Quilting magazine, this issue is full of delightful fall, leafy projects… including my Autumn Aglow quilt.
