WHAT I FORGOT AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Here are the pictures I promised you yesterday.  I feel so stupid because I, by chance, wanted to show my friend a picture on my phone and guess what.  There were all the pictures I took at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  No wonder I couldn't find them on my camera!  Maybe I'm getting too old for this.

Anyway, are you ready to think Halloween?  Above is a sample at the shop.  It is adorable!

These are the fabrics from Windham Fabrics and the Black Cat In Witch's Hat pattern that you can get at the shop.

This book also caught my eye!  Lots of great quilt patterns in it.

These fabrics are called Garden Tales, also from Windham Fabrics.

Check out all these new books. I'll show you the quilt that was made from them in a minute, but I also wanted to tell you that there are lots of different patterns in each book.  The sample on the right is what Lee Ann made from one of the books.  It's so cute!

You have to stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop and see this awesome quilt hanging up in the shop.  I think I was told Melanie made it and let me tell you it is fantastic!  You have to see it to really get an idea of the work that went into making this beautiful quilt!!!  The pattern is in the above books I told you about.

Look What you can do with the panel I showed you last month.  This is stunning.

I don't know what pattern this is but I'm sure you can find it at the shop.  I like it so much, that I had to take a picture.

And last but not least, are more new fabrics in new at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  They are from Hoffman.

A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Hello Quilters! The Happy Scrappers met this past Saturday at the Attic Window  Quilt Shop.  I can honestly say that a fun time was had by all.  I love quilting and socializing with my friends.  Jane (above) attended and was quite busy on her projects.

This is just one of the projects that Jane worked on that day.  I think she's making this quilt for charity and is going to stuff the little cars to go with it.  It will be adorable!

Lee Anne didn't get much sewing that day because she was busy passing out stickers and this cute little block to all the shop hoppers that came in that day.  I hope you are all in enjoying the All Michigan Shop Hop.  It continues through the end of July!

Marti joined us.  Not sure if she got any sewing done either as she is like me, likes to visit with everyone and look around the store at all the new items.  I took lots of pictures of the new items, but for some reason they are not on my camera.  So I'll go back up to the shop tomorrow and retake them. 

Who is this? 

Mary Gee joined us and it was so nice to see her and catch up on what she's been doing.  Even though she has a quilting business she still has time to create quilts.  I don't know how she does it.  In the previous  picture she shows us what she is currently working on.  Looks lovely!!  

It was such a fun day and I look forward to our time together next month.  Feel free to join us on the last Saturday of the month.  We all work on our own project.  And have lots of fun!!

DO YOU LOVE MICHIGAN???

 I love, love this panel and wanted to show it to you.  You can get it at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  

I saw it when the Happy Scrappers met this past Saturday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Since it was a holiday weekend, I wondered if anyone would come.  And was so pleased to learn that eight people came to sew and socialize that day.  And I can honestly say, that a fun time was had by all!  I love sewing and socializing with the Happy Scrappers.

We had some Show-N-Tell.  Donna M. showed us her latest finish.  It is perfect for this time of year.  I love it!

Pat made this quilt for her grandson's graduation.  Wow, what a lovely quilt!  You can be sure he will love it too!

I may have shown this before, but now it's quilted.  Chris made it from the Three Yard Quilt book!

There are some new fabrics in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I love these colors.  These are Flutter from Andover Fabrics.

These are also from Andover Fabrics and are called Witchy Couture. Think autumn and Halloween.  It's not too early!

NEW AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Hello Quilters!  I want to show you some of the new things and new fabric in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Aren't these above humming bird fabrics beautiful!!  They are from Hoffman. 

Chris tells me that these above fabrics are not new, but I love them and had to show you them.  They are also from Hoffman.

And check out this adorable quilt made from a panel!!!!  What kid wouldn't love this!!

These are also not new, but I haven't seen them before and thought you'd like them too.  Maybe you want to make some new summer Garden Dish Towels for Mom, or this practical double zip gear bag for the Graduate.

Also, check out the new calendar on the sidebar for this upcoming class in hand or machine applique.  Above, in the center, we placed the sample of the small block you will make.  As you can see, you could use this as a center on a table topper.  I love freezer paper applique as it is a nice take it with you project. But you can also use your sewing machine to applique your blocks.

After this class, you might want to look into the block of the month applique class and make this quilt.

Have you signed up for the first shop hop across the state of Michigan?  You have all of June and July to visit the over 80 stores in Michigan.  What a great sewing adventure!  Hundreds of prizes are available and you will receive a free gift at every participating store that you visit. You can purchase the above book and get your passport at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

FOUND THE PICTURES !

I do not know about me sometimes.  Maybe I'm getting too old for all this electronic stuff?  Anyway, the other day, after my last post, I happened to look at pictures on my phone.  And there it was, this picture of the quilt Marti was binding at Happy Scrappers at the Attic Window Quilt Shop on Saturday.  I, for the life of me, do not know why I grabbed my phone instead of my camera!  I cannot believe I did that!!!  Anyway, this is the adorable quilt Marti made and Mary Gee quilted for her.  So cute!

 

I made a zillion half square triangles for a project I'm working on. 

 And I did it using Thangles.  In fact, I had Chris (shop owner) show me how to do it the correct way, which made it easier and faster and they ended up all the same. She gave a fantastic demonstration for all of us to see.  You can get Thangles in different sizes at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEET AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

 Hello Quilters!  The Happy Scrappers met this past Saturday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. It has really been a week for me.  Did you ever  have a day when things just went wrong?  Well, this morning when trying to get the picture I took yesterday at the Shop off my camera, I discovered that apparently my camera hadn't worked, and I had no pictures!  The one I wanted was of Marti, who was sewing the binding on her lovely quilt.  I'm so sorry I didn't get to show you how darling it is. 

And I must apologize for an error I made last month.  I said the above picture was of Bev!  My mistake! It is a picture of Karen.  I'm so sorry Karen and sincerely apologize.

And, needless to say, I didn't get any other pictures that day.  There weren't many in attendance, but Karen, Lee Anne, Marti, and I enjoyed sewing and socializing.   Jane dropped in for a while, but she had just gotten back from the Paducah quilt show and was too tired to stay long.  

However, we did get to hear all about Chris's trip to her son's wedding and see the lovely pictures.  What a treat!!

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEET AT ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Hello Quilters.  I want to share the fun that the Happy Scrappers had when they met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday.  When looking around the shop, we found this! Can you guess what it is?  Not a bed quilt!  Notice the odd shape?  

Here, Lee Anne models this beautiful coat.   What a fun item to make.  I bet you can find the pattern at the shop!!! 

This is how it looks from the back.  I love this coat and hope to make it.  How about you?  It really looks easy!

Chris showed us this new quilt that she made.  She quilted it all herself too!  Maybe if you click on the picture you can get a better look and see her lovely quilting.

Bev shows us this cute Halloween project she is working on. 

Jill made this three-yard quilt from the book, The Magic of Three Yard Quilts!

And, I'm not sure, but I think she made this cute quilt, too.  It is called Stinky Feet!  What a cute name!

Penny was busy working on these tiny paper pieced arcs!  What patience!  This will look lovely when she gets them together.  Can't wait to see it.  So sorry I didn't get pictures of Jane, Marti, and Donna.  I admit, I was busy socializing and didn't do much quilting.

I did have a finish. Last month I used scraps and worked on this sewing machine mat.  This was fun to make and is so useful!  The pattern is at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. 

Keep an eye out for the upcoming All Michigan Shop Hop.  It is in June and July, and there are over 80 stores participating, and there will be 100s of prizes and a Free gift at every store.

ALSO:  Please come and use our classroom! Call and reserve for $5 a day.  Bring a group! It will hold up to 12 people.
