Crochet Sun Applique - Folk Art Calendar Blanket 2019 - March

[@Jennyshobbies]

Got my 4 suns made for my 4 blankets and now to sew them on!!! Woo hoo!

[@mrswendyrob]

Jenny's Arts & Crafts 4!! That’s amazing! I’ve considered making multiples (we have 8 nieces and nephews - Christmas gifts!) but I haven’t pulled the trigger on them yet.

[@JaydaInStitches]

4 works of art! :)

[@Addy1027]

Hi Jayda n Mr. InStiches!! *waving madly* JAYDA ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME???????😨 Oh my goodness, the sewing of the sun rays was horrific, tedious, anxiety ridden! At one point I threw the blanket on the couch and promptly put it in *TIME OUT* 😬 FINALLY it's done!! 🏆 It's absoltuely gorgeous!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much Jayda for this beautiful project in progress... I know it will be a masterpiece when it's complete!! (Afroditi hoping and praying the other appliques won't be as deadly as this one) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * Oooooh, yes, that was a lot of little stitches to sew wasn't it! LOL Of course we know that it won't come off now ;) We must suffer for our art!!! *back of hand pressed to forehead, swoons*

[@Addy1027]

@@JaydaInStitches LOL!!! YOu slay me! ❤️❤️

[@elainemagliacane]

Oooo fun sun, now 2 yellows, a yellow and an orange... as usual I can't decide on the colors to us. Maybe I'll make 2 suns and then decide.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Elaine! That's what I did LOL - I love playing with colour :)

Lori Dennison me too 😊

[@carolbilsky3841]

I'm excited. New orthopedist recommended occupational therapy instead of physical therapy. First visit with occupational therapist and where physical therapist was saying no crochet, this therapist is saying crochet is good therapy. Told my to get egg shaped ergonomic handle Boye makes for aluminum crochet hooks to go in and pick pattern with lots of simple straightforward stitches. She crochets so she knows what is involved. 2019 blanket is now my therapy blanket. Got my handle, and getting the needed yarn this week.😄

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Carol, that's excellent news! Oooh and an excuse to get new hooks too!! Win win!!

[@anitachaney548]

You make so easy to make the Sun by your explanations and visual examples. Thank you!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching! 🌞

[@lindapearson3340]

Can not wait to make this sun applique. I have never made a applique or sewn anything down on a blanket before so this should be very interesting for me to try. Thank you very much for teaching this to us. I hope & pray mine looks as good as yours does :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Linda! It's not difficult, it just takes some time :) Remember to be patient with yourself and it will work out Sunny and Bright :)

[@trishaturner2078]

What a beautiful sun to brighten up the canvas. This blanket is going to be gorgeous.

Oh man I needa buy some yarn to get my calendar blanket started

[@JaydaInStitches]

* giggle * We have the whole year, so no rush! :) Thank you for watching Laura!

[@PurpleFrogStitches]

Did you manage to get started? I started on 15th May so I’m really behind.

[@LegoMyPopTart0]

Purple Frog Stitcher I did! But with school and finals I'm behind good thing with the videos is we can go at our own pace

[@PurpleFrogStitches]

Laura Castro yes that’s true although I’m working tirelessly to get caught up as I want to finish the blanket by the end of 2019. What wool did you choose for this project. I used Paintbox Aran weight yarn. 100% acrylic. Nice and aft but thick yarn. Will need to buy more yarn for the appliqués. Thinking I might make some of the crochet appliqués as the videos come out and work on the back ground as I go along, stitching them on when done. Good luck with your finals x

[@TheKbeast63]

Loving the new haircut Jayda. The chic bob cut really suits you. Glad you had it cut back in again. It frames your face perfectly.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Wendi, thank you so much :)

[@Sandy42800]

Hi Jayda, I’m following this calendar blanket. It’s coming out nice, thanks to your good teaching! Oh this is so nice to make a sun! Will go out and buy this color yarn! Have a great week! Nice outfit and nice haircut!

Hey Jayda, It is so insane how happy this video had made me today. I have the exact colors that you have used for your sun and I will be doing the same colors.

I have been waiting impatiently for this March Edition so now I'm on pins and needles and waiting for April. Lol you are so talented and I hope you keep these calendar blanket going for many years. ❤

Would love to work this into a square to make a sun poncho

[@Mona-nc2qz]

Yessss thank you!!

[@jolenelarson469]

I just completed this. I should have trusted my gut from my needlepoint days. In sewing the sun on, the extra long strand of yarn tangled three times and I had to cut it anyway. The yarn also got more fuzzy. Two or three shorter strands would have been a better option, IMO.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Jolene! If you pull slowly, you'll be able to catch the odd tangle before it happens :) But if you're very practiced with sewing and adding in lengths and hiding knots then please feel free to use the method you feel most comfortable with!

[@joycegentile8552]

May I suggest, stitching down a small amount of stitches in the center? Maybe I'm wrong but It might help center shift when your blanket get washed? Just a suggestion from the bottom of my little OCD heart 😁

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Joyce, if you sew all the way around, there are a LOT of stitches keeping this sun in place, so you shouldn't find that it wants to move around :)

[@carolbilsky3841]

After doing the 2017 calendar blanket with Jayda, I can assure you if you sew the appliques down the way she instructs they aren't going anywhere. They are as secure as if they were part of the fabric they're sewn on.

[@mariacatojomartins1851]

Joyce Gentile that’s what I did it’s much easier

[@tonibenolken4242]

So Siked!

[@haleysallee6776]

I love the sun. It's so cute. I have a suggestion for future tutorials. I've been looking all over for a fruit or vegtable pillow for my front porch swing. I thought a watermelon wedge would be great but there are no tutorials. Just an idea maybe. You are great at these tutorials!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Haley, thank you for the suggestion! We love pillows here :)

[@lindaschulman1789]

It is beautiful, and what a delightful way to start! When sewing the appliqué onto the blanket, are we going through two loops of the suns rays?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Linda, You can use both loops (of the top stitch side of each ray) or just the loop closes to the blanket edge, it's up to you. It won't effect how well it's sewn on :)
