Let's Bake Sew Along - Week Seven!!

Tie on your aprons cute people

 because it's baking day!

Also known as 

Let's Bake Sew Along:)

CLICK HERE

if you are just joining us 

and need more information

We are making a lot of
 progress on the 

Let's Bake Quilt

and today we are adding even more blocks:)

First up are the 3 Spatula Blocks.

You will need 

E-20 Sew Simple Shape

and will need to trace one in reverse.

Run your strips through the 

1/2" bias tape maker for the handles.

Sew your traced shapes to the fabric...

take note that it's the 

green one that is reverse:)

After trimming and turning...

shape and press!

Press one end of each handle strip under.

Now cut off the other end 

so that they each measure about 5" long.

The unpressed end will 

tuck under the spatula top.

Center each spatula onto the 

background fabric and 

prepare for appliqué.

The top of the spatula should be 

3/4" down from the top edge 

and the bottom of the handle 

should be 3/4"up 

from the bottom edge.

Each spatula block should measure 

2 1/2" x 8 1/2" BEFORE 

you sew them into your quilt.

Easy peasy  and cute!

Now it's time for the Oven Mitts:)

You will need 

E-25 Sew Simple Shape

 for this block.

Run your strips through the 

1/4" bias tape maker.

You will need 2 pieces of the 

small red Vintage Trim...

about 3" for each one.

Trace and sew...

but take note that I did NOT sew 

on the top traced line...

but backstitched where I 

started and stopped 

on each side like this.

Then I cut across directly on

 the top traced line.

Now trim like usual but 

instead of cutting an X 

in the back for turning...

you can just turn it 

through the top opening.

But before turning...

 you will need to make one clip

 in the cleavage area like this.

Shape and press!

Lay them out onto the background fabric

 to prepare for appliqué.

They should be  3/4" away

 from the top and bottom edges

 of the background.

Tuck the edges of the 

Vintage Trim under the mitts.

Press one end of the strips under...

Then you can see where you 

need to press the other end under 

before glue basting it down...

Like this. 

There is less bulk across the top 

because we don't have a 

seam allowance on the mitts there.

Appliqué into place.

I did not appliqué my Vintage Trim 

down but you could if you want to:)

The Oven Mitts Block should measure 

6 1/2" x 12 1/2" BEFORE 

sewing it into your quilt.

Now that we have Oven Mitts 

we can bake some cookies!

You will need the 

E-11 Sew Simple Shape 

for this block.

You will need to sew an 

Easy Corner Triangle 

onto each side of the 

cookie sheet handles.

If you do not have a 

Seams Sew Easy 

you will need to draw 

a diagonal line 

down the center of 

each background square.

Make sure you stitch in 

opposite directions on each side

 to get the angles that you need.

Trim away excess and 

press towards the triangles.

Now you will need to sew the

 background rectangles to each side...

Like this:)

Now sew them onto each end 

of the cookie sheet center.

It's time to whip up a batch of cookies!

Make 1 dozen:)

Nice and golden brown.

These are sugar cookies or 

snickerdoodles!!!

I used a button for the holes

 on the cookie sheet handles:)

Freshly Baked!!

Your block should measure 

8 1/2" x 12 1/2" BEFORE 

you sew it into your quilt.

And guess what?!?

I'm so excited because 

you can now 

sew these blocks together:)

YaY!!

 And now add this row on top to complete section two of the quilt center:)

We are getting there cute people!!

Keep on baking and I'll sew you

 back here next Monday 

for even more block recipes:)
