Hi Lstew2212,
Postage is just one money order per person for all sets you sign up for. You'll enclose all 3 sets you signed up for in one envelope include a USPS money order, stamps, or cash for $6.00 to cover return postage to you. Do remember to enclose a shipping label!

How cute! I love both of them. I got 2 sets finished tonight, but don't have a photo yet. Both are applique'.
I tried to order more Steam A Seam 2, but can't find it ANYwhere. I went to the manufacturer's website, and apparently there was a manufacturing issue they're working to correct. It just says to check back soon, with no date given.
What does everyone else use for applique? I tried HeatnBond Lite, but it just doesn't seem to stick as well for me as Steam A Seam 2, and it's harder to use (at least for me).
I figured out the freezer paper method (finally), and used it for the sets I made this morning, but inside corners are nearly impossible to do without leaving a raw edge.

Here are some photos of the sets that are finished so far.

Above: I found this fabric on Fabric.com. It's called Nevermore (after the Edgar Allen Poe story, I suppose), and it's got all kinds of spooky things on it. It was a little larger scale than I was expecting, and I didn't want to chop it up too much, so I just added borders to it. They're 12-1/2" blocks.

Above: I used the freezer paper method to applique the circles onto the background. They're 6-1/2" squares. I fell in love with the swirly kitty fabric! Wish I'd bought more of it.

Above: Lastly, here are some dresden fans made from a striped Halloween fabric. The coordinating fabric is a purple blender, but it kind of looks blue on my screen. The background is a black blender fabric with gold glitter.
Two sets to go! I'm still trying to decide what to do on those. One will likely be a traditionally-pieced block made from two different owl fabrics, but I don't know what pattern yet.
