Eeny Weeny COLLAGE CLASS: Pumpkin Head Family

Get ready for Halloween! Come join Kelly to create AND quilt these “Eeny Weeny”
pumpkin heads. Choose from any of the Pumpkin Head family. There are separate
patterns for Mr. Pumpkin Head, Mrs. Pumpkin Head, Little Girl Pumpkin Head and Little
Boy Pumpkin Head. Pumpkin Heads can be traditional or modern and unique as your
creative spirit. This one day class teaches the basics of using Steam a Seam2 and the
Laura Heine underlay technique. If you have made a collage but wonder how to finish,
we will cover finishing options. Quilt your pumpkin head and take home a finished (or
nearly finished) collage for your fall decorating!

Every student must have their own pattern. Choose one of the above Pumpkin
Head patterns. Students get a 10% discount on all class materials so please choose
early. These patterns are popular!

Fabrics: See back of pattern for sizes; scraps can work. Note backing fabric listed is
for quilt without any borders or other finishing. Look at your Halloween or Fall fabrics for
motifs to add to backgrounds. I used a bat from my border fabric.

Fabrics for the pumpkin heads: The price of the class includes 2 pumpkin heads
from the Spooktacular line of Free Spirit. Or you can make your own pumpkin head out
of your favorite pumpkin fabrics.

Binding, Border, and Backing fabrics—Depending how you plan to use your
pumpkin head, this will vary. The pattern only covers the collage (approximately 8”x
10” center). To make a small quilt similar to mine, a quarter yard will be plenty for the
borders like mine. A quarter yard can make binding for 2 quilts. A ½ yard can make 2
backings. Batting should be the size of your collage. I plan to use my pumpkin heads
for pads on the back on my chairs. If you plan to make your collage into a pillow, adjust
your sashing size, backing, and batting size.

REQUIRED Notions: See back of pattern for pattern ease, Steam a Seam2, etc.

Transparent Applique Pressing Sheet REQUIRED. 12” x 12” or larger. Must be
able to see through. You will find it is very handy on many applique quilts. SMF carries
several sizes and styles. Check early or call the shop in case you need one ordered.

#2 pencil. I suggest one dark pencil and a colored chalk (pink, blue, or yellow) pencil if
you have one. Dark pencils don’t show up if you are using dark fabrics.

Sewing machine in good working order with sharp needles and coordinating
thread. Walking foot can be helpful but not required.

Sewing notions. Pins, scissors, quality thread, rotary cutter and rotary mat (medium
size).

OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED NOTIONS: Karen K Buckley medium scissors
(ridged blades make cutting easier) or similar scissors. I also like the small red curved
Karen Buckley scissors for cutting curved pieces.
