Thank you, Mary, for telling me about the Pineapple Pieces Project. This sewing it forward project will result in quilts being made and donated to the Brenners Children Hospital. All I had to do was have fun making 10.5 blocks and making pineapple appliques.
I had a roll of Dr. Seuss fabric strips that I thought would be perfect for the pineapple. I had a few choices of fabric for the stem. I ended up choosing a white polka dot on yellow fabric. Luckily, I had just enough Heat n’Bond Lite to make 14 of the 16 pineapples. I was not able to find any Heat n Bond on any online shops such as Hobby Lobby, Joanns, or Amazon. I used to get this at Wal Mart, but they no longer have a sewing section in my neighborhood Wal Mart. I had some irregular pieces of Steam-a-Seam lite that I managed to piece and use for the remaining pineapples and all 16 stems. I’ll have to keep an eye out for either of these products. I like to have it on hand.
Delightful pineapples
Thanks. So much fun to make.
These are soooo cute! I especially love the yellow dot tops that pull it all together!
Thanks. I didn’t know whether to use different polka dot fabric or the same. I liked the yellow the best.
This was a very easy donation project…and lots of fun. Thank you, Mary, for letting me know about it.
