3 Party with Patrick/March 2015 Easter Buddy An optional machine embroidery appliqué design to help in making this project is available at under Party with Patrick embroideries! Instructions 1. Refer to the cutting and piecing page for cutting instructions. 2. Trace the templates onto the paper side of your fusible adhesive leaving approximately ½ between tracings. Trace the dashed stitching and placement lines also, if desired. 3. Roughly cut the templates from the adhesive just outside of the traced line. 4. Place the adhesive templates onto the wrong side of their corresponding appliqué fabrics and fuse in place according to manufacturer s instructions. 5. Neatly cut the appliqués from the fabrics on the traced template lines. 6. Transfer the dashed stitching lines to the right side of the fabric with a non-permanent pen or pencil, if desired. You can use a light table or daylit window. 7. Peel the paper backing from the appliqués and arrange them on the background piece. Fuse appliqués into place. 8. Place the Sulky Tear-Easy stabilizer behind the block and satin stitch the raw edges of the appliqués, using Sulky Premium 40 wt rayon thread. Satin stitch arms, eyes and mouth on marked line. Using a straight stitch or triple stitch, stitch whiskers on marked line. Remove the stabilizer after stitching. 9. Piece the block, as shown on the cutting and piecing page. 10. Sandwich batting between block and backing with wrong sides of finished block and backing against batting. 11. Quilt as desired. I used a straight stitch, in matching thread, around each appliqué s satin stitching and in the ditch of all seams. I quilted a meandering path on the background area. 12. Bind as usual, using 2¼ strips cut from the binding fabric. Visit

4 All seams are stitched at ¼. Cutting 1. From the light green fabric, cut one 12½ x 14½ " piece for applique background. 2. From the teal fabric, cut four 2½ x 6½ pieces for accent block. 3. From the blue fabric, cut three 2½ x 6½" pieces for accent block. 4. From the green binding fabric, cut two 2¼ x 40" strips for binding. 5. Cut the pink rickrack into four 6½ length strips and cut the blue rickrack into three 6½ length strips. The remaining fabrics will be used for appliqués and backing. Piecing 1. Find center of one 2½ x 6½" teal fabric piece and sew one 6½" pink rickrack strip to piece. Make four. 2. Find center of one 2½ x 6½" blue fabric piece and sew one 6½" blue rickrack strip to piece. Make three. 3. Using ¼"-wide seams, sew units from step 1 and 2 together as shown below to make accent block. Press. 4. Sew the accent block from step 3 to the bunny appliqué block as shown. Press.

5 Trace Line Placement Line Stitching Line To make a whole bunny template, trace head and body sections aligning placement lines. Trace and cut one of each appliqué template.
