NEW AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Today you will see some of the things that Chris brought back from market and are now on display at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. This Spotty Hen is by Rachel’s of Greenfield. Kits are available. Make this your number one project for those on your Christmas list.

Barb made this darling wallhanging from the Dolly Days Book by Brandywine Designs. Anyone who used to play with dolls will love this book. I already have some ideas for presents for my grandchildren.

I love this Fabric Addict pattern by Amy Bradley. Just imagine these squares grouped in a quilt or a wallhanging. I think I'll frame the individual squares and use them to decorate my sewing room or kitchen.

Above are just a few of the new books in the shop. Stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop and peruse these great finds.

Water Soluble Stabilizer Demystified. I ran across this the other day. Do you know the difference between water soluble and water dissolvable? Check out Generations Quilt Patterns and learn how to make a wise purchase the next time you need this product.

Terry's Treasures has a free pattern for the cutest stitched heart. This is a great take-with-you project and would make a wonderful start to your gift list.

Until next time,

BACK FROM MARKET WITH NEW TOOLS AND IDEAS

Leaves Galore is the name of the new ruler that will make your life easier. Above, Chris, owner of the Attic Window Quilt Shop, demonstrates this new tool. It comes in three different sizes. Sue Pelland has designed these new rulers to make your leaf cutting easier. These rulers are also great for cutting stems and vines, flower petals, etc. It seems there are endless possibilities. Watch Sue’s video demonstration here. Better still, stop in at the Attic Window to take a peek at all the wonderful things you can do with this new tool.

When Chris was at market she took some classes, one of which was Penny Haren’s Pieced Appliqué class. Above are the samples that Chris made. These blocks just shout "look at me" something my piecing usually does not do. Notice the sharp points and the perfect circle. I can’t wait to learn this interesting technique. Watch for an upcoming class.

The Pink Penguin has a nice tutorial for placemats. Make these quick and easy placemats out of scraps or make them out of the new summer fabrics to use on your deck or patio or to take on your next picnic or when camping.
