Welcome to Step 7 of making your Candy Corn Sampler!

Thanks for sharing pics on our FB group, Sewing With Susan!

Step 7 is the Mummy Block.

No need for these today!

Refer to page 12, for the complete instructions.

By now you should be pretty skilled at making nice & round circles, but if not, here’s more practice!

It’s fun tearing the fabric strips for this block. I used some strips right side up and some right side down to add more variety to the block.

Do your best to stitch down the strips. I only worried about the top layers that were visible.

After stitching all the strips & finishing the appliqué don’t forget to trim the block.

After Tamara quilted this for me I removed more threads for more fraying. I wanted mummy to look real! Lol

Welcome to Step 6 of making your Candy Corn Sampler!

Thanks for sharing pics on our FB group, Sewing With Susan!

Step 6 is Dresden Pumpkin Blocks.

No need to make the flying geese blocks today,

but you’re going to need to make them sooner or later, lol.

I borrowed these blocks from my new-ish Dresden Pumpkins table runner pattern.

2 Tiny Dresden plates for today & tomorrow.

You’ll need these…

Refer to page 11, for the complete instructions.

A couple more leaves for this block.

If you remember the leaf making video I showed you, use the small bar w beveled end for the straight parts of the leaf then use the pointed end for the round parts.

If you don’t already have Apliquick Bars & Bohin glue you can find them & all the tools that I use for my appliqué on my website by clicking here.

More tiny blind hem stitch for the circle & leaf appliqué.

Can’t wait to see your pumpkins!
