Crafting at The Attic Window Quilt Shop

Now that Craft Days at the Attic Window Quilt Shop are over, I can show you what we made.  It was such a fun day that I didn't know where to start, so I'm showing this darling table topper first.  It wasn't only fun to make, but we got templates to take home for making more.  What a nice gift this will make!

And check out this adorable little wallet.  It has three different pockets.  I know I will be using this!

And this ornament is hanging in my kitchen.  I was going to put it on the tree, but afraid not everyone would notice it.  Plus, it puts me in the mood when I'm cleaning up my kitchen and seeing it. 

And this is my favorite!  I love it and am going to give it as a Christmas present to ME!!!! This is so handy and really easy to make.

And this is the cute little gift that Chris gave us just for attending Craft Day!  How adorable! Plus, lunch and treats were enjoyed by all!

You won't want to miss this next year.  What a fun and productive day!!

  The Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.

THE ATTIC WINDOW CHARITY GROUP IS HARD AT WORK

I stopped in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop today to pick up a Gift Certificate as a thank you to a friend who has done so much for me.  While there, I discovered the Charity Group in session  And of course I had to take some pictures of the lovely quilts they are making for Charity.  Above is a quilt that Maryanne made.  She said she was using up her fabrics.  This is beautiful and goes to show you what you can do with all those left over fabrics.

She also made this quilt for Charity from some leftover blocks.

And, today she was putting the binding on this quilt.  She said that her mother did the applique, and Chris (Shop owner) did the hand quilting.  It is a treasure.

 

Laura made the above quilt.  She said she wanted to use up some of her old fabrics.  She also said that this quilt is being donated to Charity.

 

Mary Tanis made this adorable quilt.  She said it was going to Lori's Voice charity.

This is a close  up of the cute blocks. 

Don't forget about Craft Days.  Have you signed up?  There are still days available.  I'm going on Friday and I can hardly wait.  Call the shop to register now!!

MAKING CUSHIONS FOR GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER'S CHAIR

I have to show you this.  My granddaughter called.  She had gotten a new rocking chair for my great grandchild and wondered if I could make cushions for  it.  I had no pattern except what is above.

  

So I made her this!  I think it turned out okay.  I have a picture of her sitting in it while she watches Miss Rachel on TV.  So cute.  

This is also a reminder that the Attic Window Quilt Shop will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.  

Also,  due to the Thanksgiving Holidays, The Happy Scrappers will not be meeting at the Attic Window Quilt Shop on the last Saturday of this month.

Happy Scrappers Meet At Attic Window

Hello Quilters!  The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday.  There were only four of us, but I can honestly say that a good time was had by all.  Above, is Marty who worked on stitching the binding on her quilt.

And this is LeeAnne showing us what she did that day.

And this is Karen.  I had to use the picture I took last month because my camera died and I used my phone to take the picture, but for the life of me cannot get the picture from my phone to my computer!  Maybe I'm getting too old for this.  

Anyway, we had fun sewing, talking and snacking!  What a wonderful day!  I'm so thankful for having this hobby.  I've met so many wonderful friends and I noticed something the other day.  I was sitting alone at home and having some negative thoughts (okay, I was feeling sorry for myself) and went to my sewing room and got busy.  And you know what?  I didn't have a negative thought all that day!  I was busy making something for my granddaughter and creating and enjoying and thanking God for giving me this awesome hobby.  

And it occurred to me, this is a dying art.  I don't think schools even have a sewing class anymore.  How do young women learn to sew?  Does anyone make gifts anymore?  And what about giving to charity?  I belong to a group that makes the quilts, gives them to me to quilt on my long arm machine, I give them back, they attach binding and give them to charity.  People still need this creative art.  It benefits both the giver and the receiver.  

My question is, what can we do to keep this wonderful art from dying?  Anyone??????

Well, enough of my thoughts.  I wanted to let everyone know that  the Happy Scrappers will not be meeting the months of November (due to Craft Days.  Have you signed up for Craft Day yet?)  and December (due to the Holidays).  Our next meeting will be the last Saturday in January.  I expect to take a lot of pictures then!!!

The Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is open Monday-Friday, 10-5, and Saturday, 10-4.

Happy Scrappers Meet Saturday, Oct 26th

Look what I did with my scraps!  I made  this handy sewing machine mat, and I don't have to search for my tools anymore.  You can use your scraps, too, to make pretty and functional items for your home.  You can sew on your scraps, or work on a project of your choice, when you come to the Happy Scrappers.  We meet this coming Saturday, Oct 26th, at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. 

 I know, I can't believe it's already the last Saturday of the month!  Have you been on a color tour?  The colors are fantastic this year! Anyway, I hope to see you this coming Saturday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEET AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Hello Quilters.  I have lots to show you today.  The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday, and I think I can honestly say, a good time was had by all!  It was so much fun!  Above,  LeeAnne shows us the Bat quilt that she is making.  It will be a sample hanging at the shop so be sure to stop in and see it.

Above, Jane works on this table-runner  I hate to think about dealing with all those little pieces, but it will be stunning when Jane finishes it.  She does wonderful work!  

We had some show-n-tell.  Above, Karen shows this cute little wall hanging.  It is adorable!

Karen also had this beautiful wall hanging to show us.  Wonderful!

Mary G., was busy working on making 55 blocks.  She shows us how many she has done so far.  I think she said she tries to make at least one a day.  Wow!  Can't wait to see it when a finished quilt!

Marti was busy stitching these handles on this lovely bag that she made.  

After Marti finished sewing on those handles, she was busy sewing the binding on this adorable quilt!

As for me, I didn't get much sewing done.  I was too busy talking to everyone and looking around the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  So much to see and buy!   The other day as I was going through my unfinished project boxes, I found the pieces for these two flowers above.  I love applique, and decided to glue the petals to a background and sew them down.  As I was sewing I remembered my granddaughter wanted a table-runner and thought I could make a couple more of these blocks and make that table runner for her.  We'll see how she likes that idea. 

 Hope to see you next month, Saturday, October 26, when the Happy Scrappers meet again.

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEET AT ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Hello Quilters!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day Holiday.  Before I show you pictures that I took at Happy Scrappers this past Saturday, I want to show you a few things I saw at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Above is this adorable display with this cute pumpkin.  Time to start thinking about those Halloween projects.  

Speaking of Halloween, there is a new BOM starting at the shop.

            I love this beautiful block that Nancy was working on.

Lee Anne was busy working on a project.

                               Jane shows us her pretty blocks!

                      And Val was working on hand sewing that day. 

Mary Gee said she was sorry she couldn't make it that day, but did send me this photo of the project she's working on.  How pretty!  

 As for me, I don't think I did any sewing, but had a wonderful day visiting with all my quilting friends and taking pictures of all the new items in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I hope to see everyone the last Saturday of September.  Mean while:
