Please Note the Last block will be on Sat Aug 31 due to my travel.. For today I have a fun little project that you might not have seen yet and it will get you ready for fall!
And also note:
I designed this a few years ago for the Button club, i hope you enjoy my tips and the pattern!
- To use patchwork for an applique shape my big tip is to press the seams open like step (1) above.
- Then when placing the shape, try to avoid a major seam at the edge of the shape. I'm using my favorite scissors for the applique, you really need a pair!
- Stitch using the blanket stitch like in my applique book.
- Or use a straight stitch like I show you in my newest 'Teach Me' book with the basics. A straight stitch is the best way to learn fusible applique and my pumpkin is a nice easy shape.
- Quilt with straight lines and then audition button placement.
Find more applique tips in my Learn to Applique book.
I am ONLY using the layer cake and this time I used Jen Kingwell's behind the Scenes & the Grunge Dot in Black
And if you are looking for batting..the New Happy Cloud batting is DIVINE! you NEED some!
I LOVED hanging this in my yard! Now I need some bigger Boo pumpkins, right?

Adorable! Thanks Pat.
Thank you Mary!
Me too Susan!
UPDATE! Sorry, the Churn Dash & Sunflower are from August 2017, not this year.
If you visit https://blog.patsloan.com/button-club/ you’ll see Pat created a Sheep pattern for August 2019 but none for July or June. I guess she only promised a monthly pattern for the first 2 years of the Button Club. I’m just glad she’s shared what she has!

I need some bee buttons, do you have them for sale? Please, send me the web site where I can buy them.
The Bee block is from Lori Holt’s book ‘Farm Girl Vintage 2’ and Pat cannot legally share the pattern with you/us.
If you click on where she says “missed it last month”, you will see Pat’s pattern for August’s Button Lovers Club (Churn Dash and Sunflower blocks).
If you want a particular group of buttons, try calling the Fat Quarter Shop at 1-866-826-2069. If they have any left, I’m sure they would sell them to you.
Good luck!

Hi Pat I keep trying to get the bee pattern but it’s taking to a quilt pattern
Thanks,
Mary Lou Dagnall
Hi Pat, I just saw your 8.5″ x 16.5″ banner that are on your sight. Don’t know how I missed it before!! I have the printed instructions and are looking for the button kits. How do I get the one for the Bee Banner and the Halloween Banner? I looked on the Fatquarter Shop sight but did not find them. I joined the Monthly Button Club but can I get these particular button sets? Thanks a lot, Deborah
I just notice that I don’t have the Button Club patterns for June or August. Is there anyway I can still download them?
sew cute. thank YOU.🐝🐝🎃🎃🐝🐝
