Happy Mother's Day To All

This wool tabletopper or wallhanging was discovered hanging on the wall in the wool corner at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. Can’t you just see it in your house? This is a quick and easy project. Call the shop for details.

Gerry has done it again. She made another quilt from her stash! Goodness, wouldn’t you just love to see her quilting room and go through that stash? Her quilts are lovely.

The Friday evening UFO class was in full swing this week. Lois Parker was doing traditional rug weaving. She brought in her own frame. She says weaving uses up lots of fabrics and is a good way to use up your stash. When asked how long it would take to make this rug, she said she didn’t know but her teacher said she could make one while watching two Lifetime movies.

Have you ever heard of wet bags? Sara Larson makes these darling bags that are lined with water proof rubberized material, the kind used in hospitals and it is anti bacterial. She said it is easy to sew with. She made the pattern herself and makes the bags in four different sizes. You could use them to contain anything wet, like wipes, diapers, wet swim suits, make up, etc. She does pretty well for a gal who has only been sewing since January!

MICHIGAN MADE APRONS & TREES

Wonder why we don’t wear cute aprons like this anymore? You too can go back to a simpler time. Make an apron like this sample that Robbie made for the Attic Window Quilt Shop. We have lots of vintage fabrics and patterns too. Stop by and take a look.

This is the finished quilt for last year’s seasonal BOM. What fun it must have been to make all these wonderful blocks. I’m sure you can still pick up a pattern at the store.

Spring has arrived in Michigan. This is what I see when I step outside my door. It’s breathtaking even if it is in my neighbor’s yard. All winter long I’ve been drooling over beautiful photos taken in Australia. So I had to show everyone how beautiful Michigan can be. I think it’s even more beautiful after the winter we just went through.

WE'VE GOT CREATIVE LADIES

Wow, everyone has been so busy at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. Lee Anne made this tote bag and beautiful purse. She was kind enough to bring them to show and tell at Saturday’s Bee. I love that green fabric with the circles. You can find it at the shop.

Here are two more that she made. She does great work and has a good color sense. If you’d like to take a purse class, look for one of Cindy’s upcoming classes. She is our “bag lady” and is great at teaching you how to make these wonderful purses and bags.

This wallhanging was made by Sherri Pipenger. She brought it to the Knotty Ladies Stitching Bee last week. Aren't these trees and flowers just awesome! This is a present for her lucky sister. What a great job, Sherri!

Jan Larson shared this quilt at Saturday’s Bee. (Sorry about the fuzzy picture.) The quilt is quite lovely. She says she’s going to make it into a tabletopper. Can't you just picture it on your diningroom table? Or on that table on your enclosed porch. Thanks for sharing Jan.
