I found a cute paper pieced Sunbonnet Susan winter themed block. I am making that. One the I will applique, and 3 pieced blocks using winter themed fabrics. I will post pictures as soon as I finish with them. Fall is my favorite season but winter is a close second.

This is the snowman applique I digitized. It will be in the center of a square in a square block.

And this is why one does a trial run.
1. With the very first stitching I realized the orientation of the block in the hoop was wrong. I ripped out that short piece and rehooped.
2. Since I only had the Ultra hold Heat-n-bond I used that. Normally I don't adhere my appliques when using the embroidery machine, but thought it might make this go quicker an avoid some of the steps. Well, ultrahold does not do well with fairly fine thread, which kept fraying. So I switched to the regular sewing machine, same thing.
3. Although I used a template from EQ7, my finished block just barely made it to 12 1/2 inches.

SOooo, now I'll not used the ultrahold and cut my pieces just a hair bigger. I'm still going to use the embroidery machine because it does such a nice job, but will have to fraycheck the edges....just another step!
