Number 9

Number Nine block is done. On to the next block.
I have been busy prepping some pieces for the Wreath of Cherries from Vicksburg BOM. Lots of cherries and leaves. Using the Templar plastic is one of my favorite applique techniques. If you are new to my blog check my sidebar for tutorials.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

I love that doggie. He "makes" the block...atleast for me.

Hope you're fairing well.

Not only are these blocks so cute, but your applique is just beautiful. Absolutely perfect, I'd love to be able to applique like this one day.

Jocelyn said...

Super cute! I'm ashamed that I haven't gotten these ones done.

I am not new but never noticed the tutorials--shame on me. Your block is perfectly wonderful.

Perfect fabric for the dog!

Allie said...

Ah I love that little doggy block - I think it's my favorite - love the fabric you used for him!

Carrie, I love the white basket on September's block! Good job!

Deb said...

Carrie..I love to drop by your blog you always have such wonderful applique!! and your workmanship is fabulous..but I do hope you are taking care of that elbow and not doing to much.. hey when do you start your applique club meetings again?? HOpe you are keeping warm

I use a very similar method for my applique. I use freezer paper instead of the templar. I cut the shape, iron it on and then use a bit of spray starch with a cup and paint brush. Ironing the freezer paper on gives me a stable surface on which to iron. I think you have inspired me to get out one of my unfinished projects! I enjoyed coming upon your site and will be sure and follow it. Thanks, Sarah

Really cute! Can't wait to see the cherries!

Janet said...

Another sweet block, I think your applique technique works beautifully for you as seen in the results.

Beth Karese said...

Cute block, Carrie! Just a few left?

I also like the technique you describe, although I've never used the Templar plastic... not enough pieces the same shape. I'm curious about the red mat in the pic... if it's what I think it is, that's genius!

Kaaren said...

I'm happy to see that you're back to stitching, Carrie. Love your September T-A-T block.

Your block is so cute! I have been out of the loop and assume that this is a new Bunny Hill BOM? Also, the Vicksburg BOM is going to be a real beauty too! Can't wait to see your version.

Crispy said...

Love the Tisket block and that you used a lighter grey for the scotty instead of black. I also love the white basket, it makes all the other parts just pop.

Dorothy said...

Glad to hear you're feeling better Carrie. Your Tisket, Tasket block looks wonderful. I hope you aren't overworking that elbow!

Too cute! I love the fabric you used for the dog. BUT go slow.....

Diane said...

Love that little dog! This block is so cute. Can't wait to see your cherries done!

Sherri said...

Love number 9! I'm working on 12 right now...the snowman's scarf is giving me a little grief...but looking back at block 1...I've come so far...a big thanks to your great tips..and of course to Anne for providing the patterns!

Robin said...

Wonderful basket! It looks like you have a really nice set-up for prepping your pieces. Very cool!

Janet said...

Very cute block! Cherries and leaves sound like the makings of another lovely block. I hope all this applique means your elbow is getting better :0)

Carrie I've read your tutorial on templar plastic a couple of times now and have bought some to try. I usually do needle turn but spray starch always looks so much neater I think. blessings, marlene

Carol said...

I love your version of the scottie dog.

Nanette Merrill said...

This block has such character. The scottie is so fun.

Karen said...

Hi Carrie,
Your # 9 block looks great! I guess I'm going to have to ask you where you get the templar plastic from. I've tried google without success. It looks like something worth trying. Did you use it with the # 9 block also?

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

Very cute block Carrie! I might still go back and do all of those someday!

Your Scotty dog is so adorable.
