We’re having another Great Giveaway! This time- you can win a Cuddle Classics quilt kit– PLUS Bonus fabric!
Hello Shannon Fabrics readers! This is my first time sharing on the My Cuddle Corner blog and I’m thrilled to be here! My little corner of the web is at Sewing Mama RaeAnna and I would love to have you stop by some time!
Learn how to do Cuddle™ applique in this Free video! Then incorporate the techniques and make this snuggly Cuddle Up lap quilt!
This quilt finishes 57″ x 67″ and is designed by Heidi Pridemore from The Whimsical Workshop and machine quilted by Doris Pridemore.
The quilt features Cuddle™ prints in Snow Day, a Shannon Studio Cuddle Collection™. For the center portion, the pattern calls for Cuddle 3 in White from the Kozy Cuddle Solids™ Collection. The print shown in the video and in this example features Snow Flake Red. The red print is appliqued onto the Cuddle 3 White solid.
The video teaches you to make a finished block, size 12″ x 12″. You’ll use paper-backed fusible web for the circle applique. The video features Pellon EZ-Steam™ II. However, you can substitute fabric spray adhesive or a glue stick if desired. Dritz Spray Adhesive is used in the video. You can also use tear-away stabilizer and a parchment paper pressing sheet. You’ll learn pressing techniques for Cuddle and how to machine applique with the blanket stitch on your home sewing machine.
This video is featured in the current issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts December/January 2014 and is part of the Block Builders Workshop Series Here’s the link to the Fleece Appliqué Block Builders Workshop video.
Photography stylist Ashley Slupe of McCall’s Quilting demonstrates in the video, and she really enjoyed working with the Cuddle. We hope she does more videos!

Hello Cuddle friends! I’m Denise from Whimsy Couture™. I’m so proud about my pattern “One-Hour Adult or Child Cuddle Scarf” being published in the October/November 2013 issue of McCall’s Quick Quilts!
Here’s a little bit more about the scarves and the pattern. These Cuddle Scarves are so fast and easy to sew! I designed two versions: a cowl and a tie. Sizes include: adults, children 6-12, and toddlers to 5T. The pattern features step-by-step photos and instructions on how to make the scarves. It also includes detailed tips for working with Cuddle.
I used Cuddle from Shannon Fabrics to make the scarves. Cuddle is so soft, cozy, and warm- so it’s perfect for scarves! For the adult version, I used Chevrons from the Chevrons & ZigZags Cuddle Prints collection. For the child’s version, I used Spice Market, a Shannon Studio Cuddle Collection™.
I also have free online project tutorials for both types of scarves at the following links:
The Cuddle Scarves are fully patterned in the October/November 2013 McCall’s Quick Quilts issue shown below.
You can see more of my designs at my online pattern shop, whimsycouturepatternshop.blogspot.com.
I hope you like my patterns! Please comment and let me know what you think!
Enjoy!
Denise
