Santa in the Pines Wall Hanging Part 1

The Santa in the Pines Pattern giveaway will begin with the top right block in the wallhaning setting.  As you may be able to tell this block has been glued but not sewn.  I hope to keep up with this sewing by the time I need to complete the setting.   Just click on the picture of the Santa to be taken to the free PDF.  This file will also contain a picture of the setting along with the fabric requirements to complete the wallhanging top.

I don't have a mock up of the finish quilt with the Santa's but I do have it without. Each Santa will hang over into the borders to add interest.  If this is something that you don't like you will need to make the center block bigger and you have to redraft the pine trees or adjust the other block inner borders.
I will be flying out to Memphis for Thanksgiving with my son and his family next week so I won't be back for at least two weeks for Part 2.  Hopefully I will have all the blocks ready for applique before I leave and will be able to sew a little while gone.  If you don't hear from me until after I come back:

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    I LOVE this Santa. I have tried to pring it but am having trouble. It will print the small pictures on the left but not the large picture. Any hints on what I am doing wrong. I'm not real great with this computer stuff. Thanks, Betty

      I am sorry, Betty. It's always a pain when these things happen. I would have to be with you to really know what is wrong. I will try. Click on the picture and it will take you to the PDF file. Click "file" and then "download". After the file is downloaded, click "file" on the downloaded file. Either click on "save a copy" or "print". "Save a copy" will allow you to store the PDF on your hard drive to print any time you want. I personally prefer to save the file so that I don't have scads of paper floating around to get lost. If this doesn't help, I would as a help from a computer savvy friend.

    Reprinted it and it is fine now. For the person having trouble printing it out you have to right click on the printer symbol and it works then. At least that worked for me when it was only printing part of the page.

    Hello Marjory! This is such a cute pattern - Thank You! But I have a question for you... Do you hand stitch your appliques? It looks like you have turned under on the pieces in the picture, and I am just wondering how you did that? As you can tell, I have not done much when it comes to applique but I do love the look.

      Carol, You are right the edges are turned under in the picture but not sew yet. I hand applique using freezer paper templates to help turn the edges under. Go to this blog: http://erinrussek.typepad.com/one-piece-at-a-time/ She has wonder tutorials on how to use this method. She uses template plastic when I use Layered preshrunk freezer paper. Go to Sharon Shambers website she teaches how to make templates in this way. Hope this helps. Of course there are other methods, just experiment and find the right one for you. There are a lot of tutorials for free on the web. Marjory
