My Day on the OLFA & Aurifil Slice and Stitch challenge!

Pat sloan holding pillow 2

What an exciting day it was when I got the invite to do one of the OLFA/Aurifil Slice and stitch Challenges! 

If we are just meeting, I’m Author and Quilt Designer Pat Sloan. My projects are always fun and easy to do, and I toss in a bit of my simple applique every so often. I’ve been using OLFA products since I started to quilt. I believed my beginning quilt teacher when she said to buy the best, so I did!

BE SURE to see the LINKS at the end for the GIVEAWAYS!!!

If you are joining me from the Shop tour, thank you for stopping in!!!  I hope you will join my sew alongs and my online community!

I’ve also been working with Aurifil since the started to produce thread for the quilting market.

You may follow my Designer of the Month series I do for them.

I decided to try the OLFA chenille cutter for my challenge because I’ve not done chenille

in a very long time. After this I’m TOTALLY hooked!!

Pat sloan notes

Keeping with my theme to design a fun and easy project with a bit of applique,

I did some designing on the paper side of an extra piece of freezer paper I had on the table..

because that was the first thing I could find to write on!

This OLFA Chenille cutter is genius!

From the multiple widths to being able to rotate the blade to give a new cutting surface,

it made it SO easy to chenille! I’m ready to chenille everything!

Now let's make a pillow!

I am using my Bonnie Lane Fabric, some solids and the Verona thread pack from Aurifil

The Goodies I'm using

Article continues below these Amazon Goodies

Pat sloan OLFA slice pic 3

  • Layer 2 solids fabrics, then 2 pillow fabrics, right side up
  • With an Iron away marker, draw 1/2” diagonal lines across the pillow top with your OLFA ruler
  • Pin the layers together

  • Sew ON the lines to create the channels
  • TIP - I did a test piece first
  • Repeat with the 4 rectangles which will be used to cut out the 2 leaves

Cut Chenille

  • Select the letter ‘M’ size on your OLFA chenille cutter for the channel.
  • The Green is my test piece. I also used it to cut the leaves

  • Slice the top 3 layers, NOT the bottom layer of both the pillow top and the leaf fabric
  • The photo is the green piece I did for the leaves

Applique Directions

  • I appliqued before I washed the pillow top so that the cuts under the applique would stay flat
  • during the washing.
  • Trace 3 tulips and 1 of each leaf on the paper side of the Heat n Bond lite

My Applique Book has LOTS of step by step photos http://shrsl.com/23352

  • cut way the middle, then fuse to the BACK of the fabric
  • cut on the line, and remove the paper

  • Follow the photo to position the bias stems, then the flowers then the leaves.
  • Fuse to the background
