SHOW AND TELL AT THE BEE

The Saturday Bee met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop and are those girls productive or what! Above Judy Raymond shows us the overnight bag she made for her 10-year-old granddaughter. That fabric and those bright pink handles are just perfect for a young woman. (I really like it too and I'm WAY older than that as my mother often reminds me.)

Linda Brosseit shows us the Thimbleberries BOM that she has completed. She joined the class last year and just finished this beautiful quilt. She's proof that it is better late than never. Love this quilt!

Catherine Mueller took a Stack N Wack class from Carolyn and decided to try something on her own. She had these fabrics available in her stash and made up her own design using techniques she learned in Carolyn’s class. Isn’t it fun to be creative! (I'm sorry that this picture does not do this quilt justice.)

Gay at Sentimental Stitches has a new BOM starting. It is called Beyond the Cherry Trees Album Quilt and is stunning!! Each block is available for only one month so hurry over and get the first block today!

Until Next Time, Happy Quilting,

NEW CLASSES AND KITS FOR YOU

The Teachers of the Attic Window Quilt Shop met last night to plan classes and events for the next session. Here are just a couple of the fun projects in the works. Above is a pillow featuring the fabrics from the Welcome Home collection of Clothworks Textiles. Kits will soon be available in the store, but the fabulous fabrics are there right now. Check out this fun easy project, which will make a perfect gift for the holidays.


Above is the first month’s block for Barb’s Redwork BOM. The other blocks are beneath this first one and that is the shadow you see. Barb never needs to put a foundation piece on the back as she does not “travel” when she embroideries. The back of her blocks look as perfect as the front. Wish I could say that! This is a must class/club to take if you want to improve your embroidery skills.

I am in awe just looking at this. This block is from the upcoming Twilling Club. Barb’s work is breathtaking. The white on white gives such an elegant effect. Join this group and you too can make these wonderful blocks. Wouldn’t that be a fantastic wedding gift?

Are you thinking about Christmas projects? Park City Girl has a nice tutorial for making a Christmas Stocking. Check it out.

Until Next Time, Happy Quilting,

FRESH SQUEEZED CLASS SAMPLE

Fresh Squeezed is the name of this quilt and the pattern is from Moda University. This 54" square quilt highlights slices of all the brightly colored fabrics of your choice, choosing from the fantastic selection at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. The class will be held Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10 – 3. Come join me in making this fun quilt.

Don’t Look Now is doing a Joseph’s Coat quilt along. Even if you think you don’t have time to participate, you will probably still want to check out this blog for the fantastic instructions and tutorial. The first one is here. The second one hit today and the third one will be Nov. 6th. This is really a quilt I want to make, but am afraid to over extend myself right now. So, I’m reading the instructions, taking copious notes and plan to make this quilt in the future. Don’t you just love her pink fabrics!

Until Next Time, Happy Quilting,
Caroll
