Crazy Busy Couple Of Weeks In My Sewing World Recap

It's been such a crazy busy couple of weeks in my sewing world, but it has been so fun!

There was a lot of overlapping of posts with same day posting...it was totally crazy.

I thought I'd do a little recap with links.

I'm so lucky to work with Therm O Web (love their products, really I do!) and this week

was no exception. I got to design four blocks for their Halloween Chills and Thrills sew along.

So exciting! The patterns are free so be sure to grab them and get busy sewing. There

will be instructions for a table runner at Therm O Web September 24th to put them all together.

“The Count”

“Wanda Witch”

“Frankie”

“Peter Pumpkin”

Creatin' in the Sticks had the "My Favorite Block" blog hop happening...so much inspiration!

Carla is the best blog hop partner! We alternate months, which makes it easy on both of us.

I'm lucky to have her and all those amazing bloggers who jump in to share projects...love it!

I'm a huge fan of the Dresden block, so I shared my project and a few other Dresden's I've made.

You can find my post and the list of other blog hoppers HERE.

Marian at Seams To Be Sew has her fifth row along happening and I've been a part of all five.

This time it was called "Once Upon A Story" and we all shared a block of a favorite nursery

rhyme, story, or song. I picked "Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed" for my block.

I think it had something to do with the Monkey Boys in my life that made me pick that one!

You can find my block and links to the other blocks in my post HERE.

Those Monkey Boys have so much energy and keep me smiling. 

They had fun at the park during some project photo taking. The loved that water!

Sewing for Riley Blake is another of my favorite things to do. I'm really lucky and I know it.

They make it so easy and let me sew whatever pops into my head using their fabric.

Since there's a lot of crazy ideas in my head, it's a ton of fun!

This week was "Caught Red Handed" with "Cops and Robbers" fabric.

You can find that post HERE.

Sewing is definitely an uplifting and inspiring hobby that makes me feel blessed to be a part of.

I'm grateful to all of you who teach me new things and inspire me with what you make.

You rock my world!

I'm also grateful for Heat n Bond EZ Print Sheets and Aurifil Thread. 

They truly make my applique projects easier!

Heat n Bond EZ Print Lite Sheets – You’ll love these for applique because they are so easy. 
Just run the sheets through your inkjet printer and they are ready for ironing on your fabric.

Aurifil Thread – This thread is amazing for sewing. The applique blocks in these projects were 
sewn using 28 wt thread, but 40wt or 50wt works, too. Use the 50wt thread for sewing seams.

Block Four Of Therm O Web's Halloween Sew Along

Today is the last day of Therm O Web's Halloween Chills and Thrills Sew Along.

They're releasing four blocks in four days and they are all free. On September 24th

there will be a project released to use the blocks. You can still get "Frankie", "The Count",

and "Wanda Witch" by visiting the Therm O Web blog HERE.

This guy is being released today and he looks a little excited and crazy about Halloween.

Meet "Peter Pumpkin" the last block in this sew along.

You can find him at the Therm O Web blog HERE.

Supplies I used:

Heat n Bond EZ Print Lite Sheets – You’ll love these for applique because they are so easy. 
Just run the sheets through your inkjet printer and they are ready for ironing on your fabric.

Aurifil Thread – This thread is amazing for sewing. The applique blocks in these projects were 
sewn using 28 wt thread, but 40wt or 50wt works, too. Use the 50wt thread for sewing seams.

  Oliso Iron – The newest iron by Oliso is their Mini Project Iron. 

It’s perfect for any ironing project!
