Share The Love Daisy Chain Mini Quilt with HeatnBond EZ Print Sheets

I grew up seeing Sunbonnet Sue on family quilts, aprons, and tea towels. My favorite Sunbonnet Sue quilt was made by my great-grandmother who we called “Danny.” I loved her Norwegian accent and enjoyed watching her knit, embroider, and make quilts. She was so gifted with her sewing skills! One thing she didn’t have was HeatnBond EZ Print Lite sheets to speed up her work on applique projects. I love how easy it is to use! I just slip a sheet of it into my inkjet printer and ta-da, my applique designs are ready to be ironed on my fabric. No tracing!
