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.

LOOK WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH DISHTOWELS

You can make any dishtowel look special with dimensional embroidery. Above, it looks fresh and clean with the adding of the 30s fabrics. Why not use a binding and fabric to match your kitchen or the kitchen of that lucky person who will receive it as a gift. You can get the patterns at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

This project bag is so cute and so easy to make. Just take a dishtowel, add a little rickrack and an eye-catching button to pizzazz it up, and you have a clever gift in no time. Patterns are at the shop.

I saw a pattern when I was perusing the Quilting Board and fell in love with it! You can get the instructiions for the Hidden Wells Blocks here. You can see pictures of the many variations here

SAND, SURF & SUNSETS QUILT SHOW

The Sand, Surf & Sunsets Quilt Show was held at St. Patrick's Catholic church in Grand Haven, MI this past week. Since the Attic Window Quilt Shop was a vendor there, I had to go check things out. Persons who attended the show were greeted by this lovely lady. I couldn’t resist. Check out her wine glass and shoes. Isn’t she beautiful!

This Wallhanging is called Raccoons at Midnight and is by Nancy Einfeld. She did a fantastic job of capturing the look on the racoon’s faces.

This quilt is spectacular. It is called All Creatures Great and Small and is by Barb Bredemeier. She said it took her five years to complete the quilt.

This is a close up of one of the blocks. Check out that little mouse climbing the flower. Barb said she did all the appliqué, embroidery and quilting by hand. Wow! Barb you are fantastic!

.

There were so many beautiful quilts at this show. I wish I could have taken pictures of them all. The show is over now, but be sure and plan next year to attend this fabulous show.

Allie of Allie-Oops Sweet Happy Life has some has some nice vintage designs for you. Check it out.
