I finished the first project just a little bit ago...I love candy corn, so couldn't wait to get started!
I have another halloween project that I want to do that has a stencil like pumpkin, so to make this match I did the candy corn as a raw edge applique and put a tiny space between the pieces (don't know if you can see that in the pics) to make it look more like a stencil.
I also used fleece as my triangles rather than the prairie points, just because I wanted them to pop and I had this BRIGHT orange fleece left from another project. My son thinks I should make another and add fingers to either side and triangles all along the top and bottom so it looks like a monster is trying to eat the candy corn. Perhaps I will make another when this hop is done....
For now, Day 1 project is finished and already on the table ready for supper. Can't wait to see what we will have tomorrow! I have co-op tomorrow, so will check early in the morning to see if there is anything I can cut and take with me to hand sew in the morning when I have a few free minutes here and there. If not, I will take my hexies as usual and start the hop project after supper when we get home.
Great job! You are already finished with a project I just read about - way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just pulled my fabric for blog #2's project. Hopefully I can get that together tonight as it is already claimed by a friend! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have been reading some of your posts. How cool that you are doing the projects from the hop. Well done. I am collecting patterns:D
ReplyDeleteLove your hexie flowers especially the plaid one. thanks for coming by to see my red one.
Thanks Carrie! The orange is actualy flames from an oriental dragon print fabric. :-) I was glad I could fussy cut it for the corn!
