Moda Blockheads Block #29- Juneau

By Lisa Bongean

To get the pattern for her awesome block click here.

Wow Lisa, Wow!

And since some people need more than 48 blocks and there

have been requests for more appliqué I designed

this timely little acorn block.

To get the pattern for it click here. 

I'll give you a few simple directions in a minute but first I want to tell you

about this amazing appliqué tool I found at Spring Market.

It's called a Lap App and I love mine.

It comes with a cover as well as a pattern for the cover so you can make your own.

Since mine sits on the table next to my chair, I picked a rather quiet fabric.

It has places for 3 spools of thread and a little magnet for your needles - or pins - or small scissors

And adjusts to tilt to the angle just right for what you're working on.

Underneath the cover is a sandpaper section for marking around your 

freezer paper patterns.

Once I've done that I basted down the top edges of the acorn body

and basted under the edges of the stem.

Then I basted under the top edge of the acorn top

and stitched the bottom of the stem in place.

I also trimmed back the edges of the top 

to make it easier to turn under

and appliqued it to the acorn body.

Then I appliqued my little acorn to the background

and we're ready for Fall.

If you want a Lap App you can order one by clicking here.  

Sometime you have to click on the word "store" at the top right to get the page to load.

I didn't have time to make a little quilt this time but do need to announce the 

winner of the drawing for the little pumpkin quilt and hanger.

And the winner is..........

Such a cute pattern. It would be fun to win!

Barb, please  Email Tammie at janpatekquilts@centurylink.net 
and give her your snail mail address 
so we can ship your little kit and hanger.

And we can't forget September Fest this weekend - Friday and Saturday from 10:00 - 4:00.

I mistakenly said Thursday and Friday in the blog last week so if that's the only time you can come, come anyway.  We'll be in the middle of preparations but what the hey!

We're having door prizes and fabric.  Kits and fabric.  Patterns and fabric.  Scrap bags and fabric.  I think you get the idea.

And we'll have tours of the house and the antiques and quilts in it.

So come to

September Fest September 22-23rd at 10170 NW Last Dr. 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Directions. If you're coming from North or South on 1-35 go East on Highway 36 for 1 1/2 miles to Sale Barn Road. Turn right on Sale Barn. If you're coming from Hamilton on 36 it's about 10 1/2 miles from Hamilton to Sale Barn Road and you turn left on Sale Barn. Take Sale Barn south for approximately 6 miles until you come to a T - which is Last Dr. Turn right & we're the first house on the left- (look for the balloons) 
Come up the drive to the barn.  

:)
And for those of you who live too far away to come, just order something (a package of needles, anything - and we'll send you a free pattern. Wish you could all be here.

Now lets visit the other designers and see what they did with Lisa's block Juneau.
