One More Month Until The Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop

A whole month seems forever away, but I still have some sewing to do on my
Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop project. I'm so excited...I love Halloween!


I can squeeze in a few more blog hoppers if anyone is interested and I could even host
one or two more if you don't have a blog. Let me know! You know you want to play along!

Riley Blake Designs Basics Stripes Blog Tour

One thing (among many) that I love about Riley Blake Designs fabrics is the versatility of
their basics. I use a lot of Confetti and Crayola fabrics in my quilts, but they also have
many other basics to create projects or add accents to them. Stripes are the focus of the
Basics blog tour this month at Riley Blake and they come in so many gorgeous colors.
I used the black and white stripes for a border in "The Little Apple Thief."

"The Little Apple Thief"
55" x 66"




That duck thinks he's clever snatching the apple!


It looks like the cow is definitely not amused with the duck's behavior.



Look at all these sweet stripes!


I also used the basics, Shades" in my quilt. The fabrics have a shabby look that makes
 them so easy to blend into any project. "Shades" worked perfectly in my quilt.


You can find a PDF downloadable pattern of "The Little Apple Thief" in my Etsy Shop HERE.


RBD Stripes Blog Tour:


I used my favorite iron-on adhesive for the applique...love it!
Heat n Bond's EZ Print Lite Sheets can be run through an inkjet printer...no tracing!
Heat n Bond Lite comes in sheets, too.
