NEW CLASSES AT ATTIC WINDOW

The Attic Window Quilt Shop Newsletter and quarterly Calendar is now on the blog.
Zipper Bag – Aren’t these bags cute. These small mesh bags are great for all kinds of stuff – cosmetics; your kids take along small toys; pencils and crayons; and snacks. Cindy S. will be teaching this class on Monday, April 27th. Call the Attic Window Quilt Shop to register and for further information.

Paper Piecing - If you want to do precise difficult piecing, paper piecing is the way to go. Chris has an easy technique that eliminates waste. This class begins in May.

Vickie’s quilt - One Saturday while at the shop Vickie decided to make a slice ‘m and dice ‘m quilt. Don’t you just love her vivid fabrics!

Might be a little late but Don't Look Now has a project so cute you will want to start it now so you can have it finished for next Easter. Scroll down and find the bunny.

NEW SAMPLES AND STUDENT PROJECTS

Above is a purse that student Geri made. It has scads of pockets for all those special items. Don’t you just love her fabric and how she fussy cut the outside pocket? And how about that button! It’s special too. She does such good work! Thanks for sharing Geri.

The above Sewing Caddy samples are made by Sue for her class on April 23. The pattern is free when you sign up for the class. They are so cute and so handy to have. Stop by and take a look at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

This is another student project. Yvonne showed us her Relay for Life quilt. Don’t you just love these cute fabrics? She had lots of leftover fabric so she made several purses that will be sold with the money going to Relay for Life. Thanks so much Yvonne. You do beautiful work and are truly an angel to do this.

Teachers Julie, Barb and Vickie put together kits during the Attic Window teacher’s meeting Friday night. The newsletter will be out this week. Look for it in your mailbox or you can read it on the blog. These women have lots of new classes planned for you and the promise of lots of fun.

Molly Chicken has a tutorial for the cutest Easter birdy. Something just in time for that special child, or the child in you.
Until Next Time: Happy Quilting!

WHO DOESN'T LOVE CATS?


What is it about quilters and cats? They go together like cake and ice cream, bees and honey, needle and thread. This is Britney, part of Pam Bono’s Pussy Willow Gang. There are six different kittens in this adorable quilt. Watch for an upcoming class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

For that special cat in your life why not make a fishbowl quilt? The Evil Mad Scientist has a cute pattern.

Very Important Information: Ever wondered about how to fold your quilts? Worried about getting those creases? This bias fold method eliminates fold marks. Appliqué ‘n Patch Quilting has a great tutorial with wonderful pictures on how to do this bias fold method. Check it out.

Until Next Time: Happy Quilting
