Do you think she looks nice with the Hexagon Tree? I do. My little rainbow Mosaic Tree is decidedly different, but I hope they'll be friends.
Can I just say that I love applique? Gosh, it makes sewing so easy! I just cut the scraps to size, making them fit together a little like a puzzle, and then glued them on the fabric with a simple glue stick.
Thus stabilized, attaching them with a zig-zag stitch was a cinch. And, with the zig-zag stitch you don't even have to stitch straight - it doesn't show!
The mosaic concept was inspired by this beeeautiful pin cushion made by Corey of Little Miss Shabby. Thanks, Corey! Such a fun way to use up those little bitty scraps =)
By the way, if you're interested in joining us, do. Good Stitches is always welcoming new members to our wait list. We have a few waiting, so I expect a new group will form around the end of the year. Just go over to our Flickr group and request membership.
Really love how that turned out! I haven't tried applique yet! Mostly because I think most people use a special stabilizer, but a glue stick, great idea! I already have one of those! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great tip! I think I will try this with the children.
ReplyDeleteBoth blocks are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love that block! The mosaic look is so cute, and I have bags and bags of little bitty scraps - - - now to just get the time to try it! And I love your glass jars with color-sorted scraps - so pretty! Thanks for sharing the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteThey both turned out wonderfully! I can't wait to see that quilt come together.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the little mosaic tree turned out! And thanks so much for the glue stick tip--I hadn't thought about using one and that sounds so slick! =)
ReplyDeleteI love that! SO CUTE--what a great use of the inspiration pin cushion--it's perfect with a tree!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I just found your blog via flickr and LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! I've just used the same technique to make a mosaic heart that I made into a pot holder, it turned out perfect! Thanks for the inspiraation!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the great blocks...of all time!!! And a great starting point for that QAL which is calling out to me!
