NEW SAMPLES AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

This beautiful quilt is a new sample that Maggie made for the Attic Window Quilt Shop. I believe it is going to be a BOM. What is important for you to know is that this is a wool on cotton quilt. Maggie said what she did was collect wools from thrift shops. When she saw a garment that she liked she would buy it, cut it apart, wash it and dry it. That way it won’t ravel and you don’t have to worry about shrinkage when you wash your quilt. A word of ADVICE from Maggie. Before you purchase a garment look at how it is constructed. Some of the men’s suit jackets are made of many small pieces. When she took a nice wool jacket apart, she realized the pieces were too small for her project. Get ready to take part in making this fabulous quilt and start collecting those woolens NOW. The shop will also have some wools available, but this quilt has so many pieces in it you might need something special for your color scheme.

This is Barb David with her newest sample for the shop. It is the Crap Apple Hill Snow Days. She was reluctant to let me take a picture because she still has some embroidery to do. Notice how the embroidery flows from one block into the next. This is a beautiful quilt and I know a lot of people have been waiting to see it. Thanks Barb for letting me share.

This is also from Maggie. It is the Mill City Sampler and is an upcoming BOM. It is made of civil war fabrics. What some of you make like about this Sampler is that it will be pick-up only. This will work well for those of you with schedules too busy to allow for a class.

I love this idea. Sew Much Ado has a fantastic tutorial to make your own duster.
