So this week I worked on a block for the Glorious Autumn Block Party. (See post above). And I tried something new with it. I made detachable stuffed 2 sided appliques. (or at least that is what I am calling them, I am sure there is an actual name for them :) I have used the whole sew around the edge, turn through the hole, stuff, and close technique before but never with adding a buttonhole to the center to allow you the ability to attach and detach.
Here's the block. Cute huh!! It goes along with the story 5 Little Pumpkins.
So now, when we read the story, we can remove each pumpkin as the roll away :) I just have to turn it into a pillow now so it is a little durable for the kids :) Here's hoping I get to that before Halloween!!
So that's what I have been doing . . . How about you???
Link on up :)
Awww this reminds me of a book my Mom made for us YEARS ago with shoes to tie and buttons to be buttoned and snaps and man I wonder if my sister (Helga LOL) has that one!
ReplyDeleteI love that book. When I read to a class in October, I always include it. Cute rendition of the book, Melissa.
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable!! Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on all the posts since SS, sorry you didn't get away at all last weekend, love what you've been working on though (although 5 little pumpkins hasn't made it to either the UK or Australia, the straw poll in our camper van reveals ;o) )
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes! That is just adorable!!!
