NEW QUILT AND KITS AT ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Hello Quilters!  This should brighten your day, it did mine.  The Attic Window Quilt Shop has new quilt kits available to make the above quilt.  It is called Animal Crackers and measures 42" x 50".  The above quilt showcases a mod menagerie in the center of these rectangle blocks. This is an easy-to-piece baby quilt.
Kits are available to make the Animal Crackers quilt.  Above, you can see the fabrics in one of the kits.
More Animal Crackers kits.  They are only $40 each and each kit includes the binding.  What a deal!  And we all need a deal and something to quilt while Staying At Home.

IMPORTANT: As you know the Attic Window Quilt Shop is closed due to the pandemic but you can still place an order. Chris said that you can do curbside pickup or she will ship to you.  Just call her at the shop or email her at BrownAttic@aol.com. 

Remember!  Support your local quilt shop!  We want to go to the Attic Window Quilt Shop when this "stay at home" thing is over!!!!  I miss everyone!

NEW CLASSES and KITS

You won't want to miss all the new classes happening at the Attic Window Quilt Shop next week!  Above, Diana shows you her Glam Shell Bag.
This bag is so professionally made that you won't believe you made it!  Above, you can see a couple white cards that we slipped into the many card pockets in this bag, plus the many zipper areas and other pockets.
This is another look at the bag.  I love this fabric.  Sorry but I forgot to find out the name and maker of this fabric but I know it is at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.
Lee Anne shows us her latest finish.  Isn't this quilt adorable!
This is a closeup of one of the blocks!  Kits for this adorable quilt are available at the shop.
Marilyn has a Sew Together Bag class on Monday.  Can't wait for that!  Above is a picture I snapped when she was at Happy Scrappers on Wednesday.  She is working from The New Hexagon book that is available at the shop.  She is making a mug rug.

DON’T FORGET:  
  • Happy Scrappers meets Saturday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. 
  • Marilyn’s Sew Together Bag class is Monday, April 13.

MAKE THIS QUILT WITH A KIT

Isn't this a beautiful wall hanging?  I love it.  I don't know who, but someone made this sample for the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  The pattern is called Cotton Rainbow by Georgette Dell'Orco.  It is a Pixie Party Pattern.  Kits for this lovely wall hanging are available at the shop.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  Signs of autumn are arriving here in Michigan.

I don't know what is going on with Blogger, but the section "Blogs I like to Read" on the sidebar are not showing up on my computer.  I hope you can see them.  I haven't changed a thing and suddenly they disappear.  Go figure!

ANOTHER NOTE:
 
Moda Bake Shop has a pattern/tutorial for a redbird and berries mini quilt that would be perfect for this winter.

Until next time,

Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!

WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE SHOP


At our recent Knotty Girls Stitching Bee at the Attic Window Quilt Shop, Barb David was finishing the binding on City Weekend, a kit designed by Liesl Gibson for Oliver +S for Moda. I blogged about it here. Color, shape and style all converge to bring you a fabulous quilt! The picture on the kit doesn’t do it justice. Stop in at the shop and pick up a kit. It will make a fantastic Christmas Gift.


This is a close up of the quilt. Don’t you love these clear colors!

My Winter by Disa Designs is a new book in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. It includes ten funny winter projects; runners, wall hangings, and a snowman apron! Anyone can do these easy-to-follow patterns. They are excellent for beginner, but advanced sewers and crafters will enjoy them too.

Oh Fransson has a tutorial for a quilt that represents a Tokyo subway map. Very interesting and very modern. It is a quilt along, but all the links to the directions are here. I want to try this one.


Stay Positive!

HAVE YOU MADE A REVERSIBLE APRON?

Have you ever made a reversible apron? Fresh From Mother’s Cupboard Kits are available at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. I love this fabric with the lighthouses. The left side of the picture shows the other side of the apron. What a great gift this would make. Two aprons in one!

You can make this darling little bag from the This and That pattern. Check out the sample and pattern at the shop.

Don’t you love this fabric? It is called Luna Blooms by Sue Zipman at Clothworks. Kits for this quilt, which includes the pattern, can be found at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. I love kits. It takes all the stress out decision making.
.
Cathy over at Cabbage Quilts had a nifty idea that I’ve been meaning to show you. This past spring she made a string quilt. What I like about her idea is that once she made her square blocks she cut them into circles and created this beautiful quilt. You can see it here. Scroll down and read all her instructions. It looks like a fun quilt to make.

Until next time,

ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP HAS KITS!

What do you think about kitchen towels? Or do you even think about them at all? I guess I never gave it much thought until I saw this darling towel and thought to myself, why not pretty up your kitchen each month with new towels like this? The pattern is from Blooming Minds and includes several appliqué designs that you can use on towels or other projects. You can get the towels and pattern at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

It’s not to early to start thinking about those holiday projects. This Boo pattern is from Wooden Spool Designs. Kits are available at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

What kid wouldn’t love something made out of this eye-catching spider fabric. It is from Andover Fabrics The Very Series. (Also at the Attic Window Quilt Shop).

Have you ever been to Tea Rose Home’s Link Party? It is lots of fun to follow the links to the various sites and see what projects you can make. I went to see House of Grace and found some wonderful household tips. Check them out.
.
Don’t forget the Sand, Surf & Sunsets Quilt Show held at St. Patrick's Catholic church in Grand Haven, MI on July 30 & 31. The Attic Window Quilt Shop will be there.

Until next time,

MAKE A CORN-ON-THE-COB BAG

Isn’t this the cutest? These corn pouches are similar to the baked potato bag that you can use in your microwave oven. These kits are for your corn-on-the-cob. Don’t you love this fabric? Get your kit, which includes the pattern, at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. Do it now before the fabric is gone!

The Attic Window Quilt Shop will be a vendor at the Sand, Surf & Sunsets Quilt Show held at St. Patrick's Catholic church in Grand Haven, MI on July 30 & 31. Along with the corn-on-the-cob bags these fabric bundles will also be featured. These bundles include the Breeze fabrics from the In The Beginning line. The quilt show is from 10 until 5 p.m. and there is a a$5 admission fee

This is a close up of one of the fabrics in the above bundles. I love this fabric. Be sure to stop by and check out all the other wonderful items from the Attic Window Quilt Shop. You can see them at the shop (hours on top of blog) or at the show in Grand Haven.

FABRIC, QUILTS, KITS, BOOKS, ETC.

Several interesting items were featured at the First Saturday Bee at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. Above is the quilt that Cindy made. This is a sample for an upcoming class. The pattern is free with the purchase of the fabrics at the store. The fabric is from the Modern Mix line by Benartex and is called Pop Floral Cocoa/Willow.

Jeanne Bird made this beautiful quilt and brought it to show and tell. I feel so bad that the pictures isn’t clearer. I usually try to take two pictures incase I move like I did in this one, however, I didn’t want them to stand there forever with their arms in the air while I waited for my camera to reboot. Jeanne says that she made this while her father was in the hospital It was the last thing they shared. It is a beautiful quilt.

Jeanne’s pattern is from Appliqué Quilt Revival by Nancy Mahoney. It is filled with updated patterns from the 30’s. You will find it at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.


Chris showed us some new kits in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. These Pillow Case kits take out all the guesswork. Kits include the pattern and the fabric is folded to give you an idea of what your pillowcase will look like. All this for only $12.

Little Miss Shabby has a great tutorial for a liberated wedding ring block

DIGG THESE SANTA KITS

Super Quick and Easy, that’s what these new Bristle Beard Santa Kits are. They make great gifts. Be sure and stop by the Attic Window Quilt Shop and pick one up. Don’t be a Last Minute Maybe, scurring around at the last minute trying to find something quick to make for Aunt Sally or Cousin Jane. Now is the time to get started on those Holiday projects. Get organized. Beat that Christmas rush and start those projects now.

The question in blog-land lately seems to be, what’s on your design wall. I’ve been busy trying to put the Halloween tutorial together so there are lots of unfinished projects on my design wall, on the table, and just about anywhere you look in my messy studio. I love this vase of flowers. Have it put together and taped onto a wall, but just never got the nerve to quilt it. Maybe someday.
Sewn has a great tutorial for how to make a Dresden Plate design.
Hope you all are having a good week,
