A LITTLE WALL HANGING OR TWO

Isn’t the wall hanging adorable?  All I can tell you about it is that Sue C. made it and the patterns are available at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

I’ve been doing some appliqué.  This block is from the Catchin’ Some Rays pattern that I found in January/February issue of McCall’s Quilting Magazine.  I think it will make a nice wall hanging.  I will use this pattern when I teach Freezer Paper appliqué next month.  See calendar on Sidebar for details.

On Another Note:

• The Spring Fling Shop Hop will be held the week of April 12-20.  Seven shops are participating.  Daily drawings for $20 gift certificates from each shop.  Someone will be the winner of the grand prize: a Janome Sewing Machine!   Get your passport now for only $5.

On Another Note:  Recently, when blog hopping I saw that Mama Spark’s World had an interesting block and a link to Film In The Fridge where you can find the tutorial for making it.

Until next time,

HAPPY SCRAPPERS HAVE LOTS TO SHOW

The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop this past Saturday.  Buffie showed us two quilts that she had recently made for two new babies.  She chose the perfect soft colors for these quilts.

Above she shows us that she used Minkee on the back of each quilt. Minkee Blankee is known as the softest, cuddliest fabric around!  Buffie said that Nancy Rogalewski of Aerie Quilting did the quilt.  Looks like she did a perfect job!

Buffie also showed us her progress on another Tea Leaf quilt that she is making.  This one is in a lighter tone and she is adding an interesting inner border that adds to that cottage look.

Judi A. showed us her most recent bag finish.  It is wonderful with all its pockets and zippers!

Judi worked on making these bow tie blocks during our day together.  I love the green background and am looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.

Rosa, who missed our last Bee, was busy all day making these darling pillowcases for her grandchildren.

What’s Janalee concentrating on so intently?

Making these tiny blocks, that’s what.  As you can see, they are about the size of Rosa’s fingernail!  No wonder Janalee is so focused.

Lee Ann is participating in the Amish Twist BOM and worked on these blocks.  What interesting colors.

This is a picture of the Amish Twist quilt.  Isn't is stunning?  Can you see the blocks Lee Ann is working on in this picture?

On Another Note:    Film In The Fridge has a quick tutorial for the star burst block.

PS:  I'm linking up to Freemotion On The River.  Check it out.

Until next time,

MISSING MODERN MONDAY

I’m still missing Modern Monday, so I thought I’d show you this block.  It looks rather modern to me.  When I first saw it on Quilting Lodge I couldn’t resist and had to give it a try.  The block is called Swirly Twirly Dresden.  It is paper pieced. 

While visiting the Quilting Lodge take a look at her Texas Teardrops Quilt Along.  I love that quilt and hope to find time to participate in the quilt along. 

On Another Note: Check out the calendar on the sidebar as there are lots of classes and events coming up.  The Stitch-in this month starts on Friday.  Call the shop for details.

Until next time,
