Trace the templates onto the paper side of your fusible adhesive leaving approximately ½ between tracings. The number of each template to trace is indicated on the templates. Trace the dashed stitching and placement lines also, if desired. Visit www.patricklose.com 5. Roughly cut the templates from the adhesive just outside of the traced line. 6. Place the adhesive templates onto the wrong side of their corresponding fabrics and fuse in place according to manufacturer s instructions. 7. Neatly cut the appliques from the fabrics on the traced template lines. 8. Transfer the dashed stitching lines to the right side of the fabric, if desired. You can use a light table or daylit window. 9. Peel the paper backing from the appliques and arrange them to create a snowman on each of their respective blue backgrounfd squares as pictured. Fuse appliques into place. 0. Place a Sulky Tear-Easy stabilizer square behind each snowman block and satin stitch the raw edges of the appliques, using Sulky Premium 40 wt rayon thread. To stitch the eyes, use free motion quilting to stitch a spiral outward from the center of each eye. The glint in each eye can also be stitched with white thread in a free motion fill stitch. Black ¼ buttons work well for the eyes if you want to avoid stitching, altogether. Remove the stabilizer after stitching.. Piece the quilt top as shown in the piecing diagram. 2. Sandwich top, batting and backing and quilt as desired. I like to quilt around each applique to lift it from the background. 3. Bind as usual, using the orange binding strips created in step 3, above. 4. Add a hanging sleeve, if desired. Instructions are available at: http://www.patricklose.net/instructiondownloads.htm
