Raggedy & Friends – Block 2

Where has the month gone?  I can’t believe that it’s time for Block 2 of the Raggedy & Friends BOM.  For those of you who may have missed it, you can find the link to Block 1 here or on the right sidebar under the Raggedy & Friends button.  And speaking of the button, please feel free to grab it and place it on your blog with a link back here for anyone who might visit your blog and not know about it.

To date, there have been just under 3,000 downloads of Block 1.  It is so neat to have photos of completed blocks sent to me from all over the globe.  Some I’ve already shared with you and today I’d like to show you three more.

Here is Sharon’s version.

Here is Pamela’s…

And here is Wilma’s from the Netherlands done in what else but Dutch blues!

No two that I’ve seen have been even remotely the same.  Thank you all for sharing!

So without further ado, here is Block 2.

You may download the PDF file including the picture, line drawings and instructions HERE.  Once you are there, please remember to click on the blue download button on the left and then simply follow the instructions.

Oh and before I forget, Darlene from Quilting Daze has tried a new-to-me product called Transfer-Eze which she talks about and demonstrates here.  For those of you who don’t like to transfer patterns, perhaps this might become your new best friend.

See you on the 20th of September for Block 3.

Happy stitching!

  4. I love seeing the blocks made by other quilter/stitchers. Very sweet new block. I did read Darlene's post on transfer eze. It's great to learn of new products--tested by crafters.

  28. I ordered my Transfer Eze on Friday so I can get started as soon as it comes. Do you have a suggestion for the type of material to use for background for the embroidery? A white on white cotton material, muslin?

    Thanks!

  32. I would love to send you a picture of my completed block 1. I took the artwork and using the Bernina embroidery software digitized it so I could then stitch it out on my embroidery machine. It was great fun.
