Fold n stitch bloom
 

These are my latest projects using the Poorhouse Fold N Stitch patterns. This project is called BLOOM. It is made with hexies instead of squares and is smaller in diameter. The pattern refers to it as a candle mat. I made the "Bee" one for a store sample for my LQS. It's the QUEEN BEE QUILT SHOPPE, and I thought bees and hexie fabric would be appropriate. Here's a link to the pattern.

Lovely! I really need to get this pattern.

Great candle mats!

Very pretty! I just ordered the stabilizer, fold n stitch wreath and bloom patterns---can't wait to get them. Hope mine come out as cute as yours did.

great effects!

great job!!!

Those are really pretty.

These are gorgeous. I saw the hexie pattern also and really liked it.

Gorgeous love the colours

OH, that is cute, but I really hate to have to buy another pattern.....maybe I'll just try to " wing" it.

I love it......And I want the Black and white bee fabric......(I have the yellow in my stash from years ago). Do you have the selvage/manufacturers info? These are beautiful candle holders. I've never seen anything like them. Beautiful work.

I have the pattern and have made one section. I'm not happy with the stiffening I used still looking for a good stabiliser. Yours look fantastic.

Those are real clever, They turned out great.

Beautiful projects. I hope to do some soon.

What kind of stabilizer did you order. I want to make one of these. Thanks.

Lovely! Great job on that candle mat!

I love how this turns out. love the bees

Very, very nice. They are both beautiful and would look great gracing any table.

Sorry, but if you are asking about the black and white bee fabric, I used what was in my stash from several years ago. I looked everywhere online and at local stores and couldn't find it anywhere. I had just barely enough of it to use for the smaller appliqué hexies.

I just used the fusible batting, and it was very easy to work with. It is much softer than what we use in the wreath pattern. It has to be more flexible because you have two folds to make and stitch together. If you look at the picture you'll see that there is a tiny fold in the center, that is done first. Then you open the sides to stitch those together.

I just used the fusible batting that the pattern requires. It's very easy to work with, since there's a couple folds in this pattern...not just one fold like the wreath pattern has.

Love your take on the bloom. To my eye the hexie looks more like a bloom! Well done. Where do we find the pattern?

I really like this wreath, I think, even more than the original.
Thank you for including the link - I just ordered the pattern!

Love your mats. I have the pattern & am anxious to get at it but I have read where the instructions are somewhat difficult to understand. Haven't read them myself but I sure hope they're not hard. Love both styles & all of yours are beautiful. I can only hope to do such a good job.

You will find the link in my post. Fat Quarter Shop has them. Have fun!

This pattern is easier to follow than the wreath pattern. Give it a try, and if you have problems, just PM me.

I have the pattern for the Fold'n Stitch Wreath and I am yet to try it. Your mats look really super.

Wow!! and wow again. Beautiful and beautiful again! Great photos. Thanks for sharing and posting the pattern link.

Really like both if them.

Love your mats! I have the original pattern and I must get busy making one now that I've seen how pretty
yours are.

Love it. I have the other pattern but I love yours, so I ordered this pattern. Thanks for the link. Here's hoping that mine turn out as nice as yours. BrendaK

Thank you Brenda! Here's my post of the wreath pattern projects I have made.

I love your colors they look awesome :)

Especially like the yellow, very eye catching.

Both of them are really great.

Beautiful candle mat. I, also, think I like this one better than the original wreath pattern.

it looks to me like it a 6 sided hexigan. then you can figure it out by looking at the picture.

Beautiful. I see the crystals on the bee wreath what are the red circles on the R/W/B one? You have again done an amazing job. BrendaK

Thanks, Brenda! Actually the red dots are a fancy stitch choice on my machine. I played around with it to make the stitches wider and closer together.
