NEW CLASSES AND KITS FOR YOU

The Teachers of the Attic Window Quilt Shop met last night to plan classes and events for the next session. Here are just a couple of the fun projects in the works. Above is a pillow featuring the fabrics from the Welcome Home collection of Clothworks Textiles. Kits will soon be available in the store, but the fabulous fabrics are there right now. Check out this fun easy project, which will make a perfect gift for the holidays.

Above is the first month’s block for Barb’s Redwork BOM. The other blocks are beneath this first one and that is the shadow you see. Barb never needs to put a foundation piece on the back as she does not “travel” when she embroideries. The back of her blocks look as perfect as the front. Wish I could say that! This is a must class/club to take if you want to improve your embroidery skills.

I am in awe just looking at this. This block is from the upcoming Twilling Club. Barb’s work is breathtaking. The white on white gives such an elegant effect. Join this group and you too can make these wonderful blocks. Wouldn’t that be a fantastic wedding gift?

FRESH SQUEEZED CLASS SAMPLE

Fresh Squeezed is the name of this quilt and the pattern is from Moda University. This 54" square quilt highlights slices of all the brightly colored fabrics of your choice, choosing from the fantastic selection at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. The class will be held Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10 – 3. Come join me in making this fun quilt.

Don’t Look Now is doing a Joseph’s Coat quilt along. Even if you think you don’t have time to participate, you will probably still want to check out this blog for the fantastic instructions and tutorial. The first one is here. The second one hit today and the third one will be Nov. 6th. This is really a quilt I want to make, but am afraid to over extend myself right now. So, I’m reading the instructions, taking copious notes and plan to make this quilt in the future. Don’t you just love her pink fabrics!

A SUNDAY CUP OF TEA

Everyone was so helpful in giving suggestions about how to finish my teapots, that I thought I’d show you the finished product. I do like the way it turned out. I think the way it is on the design wall and the angle that I’m taking the picture at, throws things off and sure makes it look uneven, but it really is square.

It's November all ready! Have you started those projects that are to be Christmas presents? Check out the class schedule at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. Attending classes will help you with project ideas and is a good way to socialize with your friends while finishing up a project. Stop by the shop and check out all the samples, new fabrics and new books and patterns in the shop.

Piece N Quilt has a nice tutorial for a self-binding receiving blanket. What a quick way to get a gift finished just in time for that new arrival.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
