WHAT WE MADE AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

 

Hello  Quilters and Merry Christmas!  The Craft Days at the Attic Window Quilt Shop are over, and I promised to show you all the fun projects we made.  This cute little stocking is hanging on my Christmas tree.  

We also made these fun projects.  The above table topper.
This adorable pot with pockets.  You can use it for most anything, but I think I'll call it my sewing holder and fill it with scissors, tape measure, pins, rotary cutter, etc. 
And I love this little wallet. 
I just stick in my driver's license, and Gym pass and shove it in my pocket and I'm off to exercise.  No purse to worry about.
I forget what this bag is called, but it will come in handy for many things.

Chris also gave us this adorable fat quarter.  What a fun day!!!

And now I hear that Chris is going to have Christmas Throughout the Year, and each month we will craft a different project.  I'm really looking forward to that.  I'll post more about it when I get the information.

Special hours at the Attic Window Quilt Shop for these Holidays:

  • Thursday and Friday of this week, Dec. 21 & 22, are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m..
  • Saturday, Dec. 23, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • CLOSED Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday!   

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

AND A FUN TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!!

 https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ46YGu-TWEA5_C7W1zxQ9CukJZw10aZHkgOXQ74KQn5odfW9cSG-dfOL966IIyAtPNnHDjp41b1gjnSCLopXAajbpEEbB24h3pX6yBJzoUaBGeJPWdXs3Fv-MniJsTsZr0qxaGRXwR-I/s1600/100_0721.JPG

 Do you remember this?  It was taken on Craft Day at the Attic Window Quilt Shop in 2015 as Chris was showing us just one of the projects we were making that day.  What a fun day!  And this year, though the projects are different, the same fun time was had by all.  I attended Craft Day this past Saturday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I can't tell you or show you any of the five projects we made that day, but I will show them to you once the various Craft Days are over.  Trust me, you won't want to miss this.  There are several Craft Days still being held, so call the Attic Window Quilt Shop and get registered for this awe inspiring day.

Even though I can't tell you about the projects just yet, I can show you some pictures.  There were 14 of us that day. 
Above, we all gathered around as Chris demonstrated our first project and handed out kits. 
Of course, we all brought snacks to share, and Chis ordered Pizza for lunch. 
Marti showed us a couple quilts she had made and that Mary G. had quilted for her 
This is another one by Marti.  They both are so cute. 

And the above is some of the group at the end of the day.  All smiles for a great time.  

Be sure and stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.  And don't forget to sign up for the next Craft Day.  There are several coming up.

BLACK FRIDAY, SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY, CRAFT DAY

 

 

Hello Quilters!   It's that time of year already!  At the Attic Window Quilt Shop they celebrate Black Friday (20% off at Attic Window), Small Business Day, and Craft Day this coming weekend. Which reminds me, the first Craft Day is this Saturday (the Saturday after Thanksgiving).  This one is full, but there are still openings for Craft Days on Dec. 1 and 2.  Call the Shop to register.  

PS: I've attended every year and know from experience, you will not want to miss this.  And, no, we will not be making the above pillow.  We did make it at Craft Day years ago.  I think it might have been in 2013. What we will be making this year is a surprise!

Be sure and stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.  Hope to see you there!

New At The Attic Window Quilt Shop And Holly Hop

 

When I visited the Attic Window Quilt Shop today, I was taken in by this awesome display.  That treadle sewing machine sure brought back memories.

I was also taken in by these lovely fabrics from Henry Glass & Co.  They are in the sewing related items theme!

These lovely fabrics above are from Hoffman fabrics.

You may remember on the last post, there was a panel called Butterflies and Blooms.  These are the coordinating fabrics and are from Henry Glass & Co. 

Now let's talk about the Holly Hop.   Above you can see the various participating shops. 

Kits will be available at the Attic Window Quilt Shop during the Hop for these two table toppers.  It looks like a fun event and one I want to get in before the snow flies.  We had snow here today in Michigan.  Fortunately, only flurries that are not sticking to the ground.  

Be sure and stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.  Hope to see you there!

A FUN TIME AT HAPPY SCRAPPERS

Hello Quilters.  Are you ready for Halloween?  The Attic Window Quilt Shop is.  When the Happy Scrappers entered the shop this past Saturday, we saw this adorable monster surrounded by fantastic fall fabrics and other creating ideas.  

Not only will you see that, but you will want to check out this fun panel at the shop.  It is Butterflies and Blooms by Henry Glass & Co.

Or how about this cute panel.  What fun to hang this during that "haunting" time of year!!! 

Above, Sonnie inspects this spectacular yo-yo quilt currently at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I don't know who made it, but I admire the patience and creative thought and time put into creating this beautiful quilt..
Sonnie showed us her latest finished project.  She quilted it herself and is now ready to start her own quilting business.  She does beautiful work. 
On Saturday, Sonnie worked on these blocks.  I love these colors and am eager to see the finished quilt.
Val joined us today.  We haven't seen her in a long time.  So glad she could join us.  I know she has to travel a distance to get to the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Saturday at Happy Scrappers, she made this cup holder for a friend to hold her quilting supplies and/or pencils and pens. 

Val was also working on a multitude of these tiny squares.  I'll show you the quilt when she gets it finished.  Right now she has tons of these little squares in her tote, all cut and ready to sew.  

Jane, Nancy, and Janalee also attended Happy Scrappers, but they hurried out to get to a retreat before I could get pictures.  

That's all for today, folks!  Hope you have a great week and a Happy Halloween!  Be sure and stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.  Hope to see you there!

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEET AT ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Boo!  It's almost that time of year. I saw this (above) when on my walk.  I bet the neighborhood kids love it!  And, I bet you will love the Attic Window Quilt Shop, when you come and sew with the Happy Scrappers this Saturday, October 28th.  It's a fun group.  Not only do we have fun socializing and sewing, but we have time to really look around the shop and see what's new and check out the sale items.  

The Attic Window Quilt Shop is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.  Stop in and check out what's new!  You won't want to miss them!! Hope to see you there!

OCTOBER CALENDAR IS HERE


I just wanted to let you know that the Attic Window Quilt Shop October Calendar is on the sidebar, or you can go here to get it.  Also, I wanted to show you this picture.  Chris put the binding on the quilt and you can see it at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  You can also get the pattern there.  I used freezer paper applique to make the applique on this quilt, and if anyone wants to earn this method just call the shop and let Chris know.  I have heard people say they don't like all the prep work involved in this method.  The thing I like about freezer paper applique is that you get nice crisp edges, and once the prep work is done and the applique is glued in place, you can take your project with you and do your hand sewing anywhere.  

The Attic Window Quilt Shop is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.  Stop in and get some of the new fabrics.  You won't want to miss them!!

HAPPY SCRAPPERS HAVE FUN AT THE QUILT SHOP

Hello October!  The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday.  It was a beautiful day here in Michigan and I'm not surprised that there were only three of us to quilt.  I don't think Marti nor I sewed a stitch, but we socialized and talked to Mary G. while she did some sewing.  And we walked around the shop and saw a lot of new items that I am eager to show you.  Check out this wall hanging.  It's perfect for this time of year.  This Pumpkin Quilt called Enormous was made by Melonie! Kits will be available.

And these are some new fabrics.  This is what Chris said:  The crazy Cat In The Hat got caught in a web & went Batty. Haha!!! These  three pieces would make an awesome pillowcase. 

Remember last month when Chris showed us how to make this quilt with two colors of fabric?  Well, some creative person at the shop used the same design and made it using her scraps.  It is really an eye catcher.  I can't wait to try this one!

There are some new panels in the shop, too.  This above is adorable. 
And these are the coordinating fabrics. 
And here is another winter themed panel.  You could embroidery it or paint it.  Notice the recipes on the bottom. 

  

And these are the coordinating fabrics. 

The Attic Window Quilt Shop is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.  Stop in and get some of the new fabrics.  You won't want to miss them!!
