Being a little ahead of the
Christmas sewing rush is always a great feeling…I love it!
I'm over at on the Therm O Web blog today sharing Christmas Snow Puppy...check it out!
While you're there, look around at all the other amazing creations in fabric and paper.
Christmas Snow Puppy
Finished size: 40" x 40"
I loved using Blend Fabrics Snowlandia designs by Maude Asbury for Christmas Snow Puppy.
The fabrics will look adorable in any sewing project!
Lots of dogs AND cats having some winter fun.
Stitch
n Sew Fleece Sew-in High Loft is
just the right weight keep those fur babies
warm and comfortable, and using Therm
O Web Spray n Bond Basting Adhesive to
layer the fabric and batting
together made it so easy to quilt.
I like to use this method for assembling small quilts: Protect the area where
you will be
working by placing an old sheet or paper under and around the area
you’ll be spraying.
Place the fleece/batting on your working surface. Using the
Spray N Bond Adhesive,
spray about 6-8 inches across the top portion of the fleece/batting
from one edge to the
other. Place the wrong side of quilt backing face
down over the sprayed surface of batting.
Smooth fabric to ensure it
adheres to the sprayed fabric. Continue this method of spraying
and smoothing just
6-8 inches at a time until you reach the bottom of the quilt back. Check
for
creases or folds. Turn over to have fleece/batting facing up. Add quilt front,
wrong side
down, to fleece/batting using the same spray and smooth method as
the backing.
Trim edges and square-up quilt. Quilt as desired.
Here's a tip for appliqueing white fabrics over dark fabrics:
When applying white applique
designs over a darker printed fabric, sometimes the bottom
fabric will show
through. To avoid this, here’s what I do to keep it from happening:
Take two pieces of
white fabric.
Spray one side of
one piece with Therm
O Web Spray n Bond Basting Adhesive;
lay second piece of fabric over
the sprayed area matching edges.
Trace design on
smooth side of Heat
n Bond Lite, Iron-on Adhesive.
Iron applique,
rough side down, on either side of the two sprayed sections of fabric.
Cut out
applique designs.
Peel off paper
liner from the backs of applique pieces...it is so easy to peel off!
Place applique, adhesive side down, on
right side of fabric. Press each section
following manufacturer’s directions until
entire piece is bonded. Let cool.

Hello Carol Dear. This is very cute and I can hardly believe Christmas is coming fast. Your tutorials are alway so easy to follow and understand...Thank You. <3
ReplyDeleteAww, this is so precious. That puppy is just too cool.
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas puppy is adorable! Thanks for sharing your pattern, Carol!
ReplyDeleteCute Christmas project! I recently heard of putting a fusible interfacing on the fabric and then the fusible onto it. Haven't tried yet though. I have also used white felt instead of fabric.
ReplyDeleteAwwww....I'm thinking about changing this puppy into a St Bernard. That would be perfect for my kids! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteCute Christmas quilt. I love spray basting, and maybe this will help me do it better without a second pair of hands, which I rarely have available. =) Snow Puppy is cute!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute pattern. The puppy is adorable. I always double my white fabric but never thought to bond them together with my spray. DUH! Thanks for a great tip.
