How to make an applique patch

Things you will need:
Heat'n Bond Lite Iron-on Adhesive
Iron
Sewing machine
Thread
Medium to large print fabric
Item to attach applique to (shirt, dress, blanket, etc)
Scissors

  Cut out the print leaving an edge to sew on for securing. I leave about 1/8 inch to ¼ inch or so. In this tutorial I cut out a cute little bumble bee.

 Following directions on the Heat'n Bond Lite Iron-on Adhesive cut enough of a piece so that it is just slightly smaller than your fabric cut out. (you don’t want it larger or you may get some adhesive material on your iron and create a mess)

With the highest iron settings your fabric will allow iron the adhesive to your fabric cut out.

Peel the paper backing and place your cut out on the item you are going to attach it too. I am attaching the bee to a dress back.

With the highest iron settings both of your fabric will allow iron applique to your item.
  Zig Zag stitch the edge of your applique. I prefer to use a short stitch for coverage. A long zig zag stich will leave some of the edge exposed. A long stitch would be good if you are looking for a bit of a frayed look depending on the type of fabric used.

7.       Voila! All Done!

Slow Cooker Taco Chili

My church had a Chili Cook Off last night to kick off this year’s family night. It was a runner up for most popular vote. I would have won if Zoey wouldn’t have mysteriously come up with 3 extra votes when it came to announce the winner. Ha Ha! All the chili was very yummy last night and I had to taste all 8 entries. Needless to say, I was soooo uncomfortable afterwards. It was fun! All my co-workers appreciated it too as I took what was left over to feed them the next day. I put together all the ingredients the night before and put it in the crock pot over night. In the morning before leaving to work I took it out of the fridge and put the crock pot on low for the day. Super easy and it is nice to get home from work to already have supper done. Slow Cooker Taco Chili Ingredients 1 pound ground beef (or ground venison) 1 pound bulk pork sausage 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn with red and green bell peppers ...
