Vintage Blessings Wall Hanging

Date: Monday, October 9th, 2017 and Monday, October 16th, 2017
Time: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

Class Description

Decorate your home this fall with this pretty wall hanging. Simple piecing of pinwheels and fun and easy applique are blended together to make a “little bitty” wall hanging for your autumn season! I used a beautiful pack of earth toned fabrics that ended working out very nicely. I love making fall decorations and this project is a real pleaser. The applique is done with double sided fusible web for an incredibly easy edge-stitching method. The piecing is just half-square triangles made into little pinwheels. The entire quilt is only 12 1/2” x 18”!! A beautiful and seasonal wall hanging for even the smallest space! This will be a two day class for Monday October 9th and 16th so we will be charging $20. We will also be offering a one day full class on Saturday October 14th so the charge will be $25.00. We have the pattern here at the store already for you and the price is $9.50. Wishing you all a peaceful autumnal season, and we hope to see you in class!!

Materials and Preparation

Materials:

Vintage Blessings Wall Hanging Pattern
Scraps of fabric in various colors for the applique and pinwheels
(1) piece of fabric cut 14” x 14” for the background (cream colored)
(1) fat quarter for the backing
¼ yard fabric for the binding and tabs
Fusible web for applique’s (I prefer Lite Steam a Seam II)
Micron pen or embroidery floss for the birdies eye
12” dowel or other display hanger

Prep:

From your pinwheel fabrics, cut (6) light squares each measuring 3” x 3”, and (6) dark squares each measuring 3” x 3”.
From the background fabric, cut (1) 13” x 13” square. After applique is complete, this will be trimmed to 12 ½” x 12 ½”.
From the binding fabric, cut enough 2 ½” strips so that when pieced, the binding measures at least 70” in length.
For the tabs, cut (3) 2 ½” x 5 ½” strips
