HAVE YOU MADE THESE QUILTS?

 When I was at the Attic Window Quilt Shop the other day I took some pictures of new quilts on display.  Above is this stunning quilt that Jill made.  She made it with the Quilt In A Day ruler.  I love the colors she used.

 Jill finished her Fanfare Log Cabin.  Those colors are awsome too!

Jill also finished this beautiful quilt.  It is from last year's sampler blocks.  I love how each person has finished the settings on this quilt.  All so different.

 I think Vickie S. finished this sample for the Chick a Dee BOM.  I wanted to show you this because I know several people wondered what this BOM was about.  A panel in the middle, with lots of piecing around the outside.  Fantastic!

The Purr-Fectly Pieced BOM started this month.  This is just one of the patterns you could use.  There are five different monthly patterns.  You can make a quilt with all of them, or individual wall hangings.  So cute!

DID YOU GO ON THE HEART OF WINTER TOUR?

 This past Saturday the Attic Window Quilt Shop was one of the shops visited on the Heart of Winter Tour.  Above (left to right) Sue, Marilyn, and Robbie were busy getting ready for the first bus to arrive.

 Left to Right, Jill, Cathy, and Robbie are filling goodie bags for the guests.

 And then the first bus arrived.  This bus was from Kalamazoo.

 Most of the women on the bus had not seen the new shop.  I think they liked what they saw.

 In no time everyone got down to the business of shopping.

 Marilyn gave a demo on how to use the pineapple tool from Creative Grids.

 Above is her sample.  It is stunning and I can't wait to take this class from Marilyn.

 Look at this beautiful lady.  I couldn't resist and had to ask why she had the tiara on her head (can you see it?).  She said that she was queen of the bus.  She also told me that when they left the shop to go to the next shop she had to give it up because someone else would be queen for that trip.  How cute!

 Jill is helping customers.

 Marilyn is helping customers select a pattern for the mat I told you about here.

 Soon the Kalamazoo group was back on the bus to the next shop and then the bus from Portland arrived.  Those on that bus received a nice lunch while at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

 After lunch,, they had time to shop too.

 Marilyn showed each group how to use the Pineapple tool.

 These women did some serious shopping.

The line was a little long, but they were so patient and friendly we hated to see them go.

Another bus with the group from Montague arrived later in the afternoon.  However, I had to leave before they came.  Then, around dinner time the Attic Window bus arrived back at the shop where they had a nice supper before heading home to fondle their fabric purchases of the day.  What a fun day for everyone!

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEET AT ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

 The Happy Scrappers met this week at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Above Marti shows us her latest finish.  Mary Gee quilted it.  Love the modern feel of this quilt.

 Above is block one of Judi's Dresden Star.  Note the stack of pieces she has finished and waiting to be placed into blocks.  This is a paper pieced pattern.

 Judi is busy sewing her Dresden Stars.  Check out that pile of cut fabrics ready to be made into stars.

Lee Anne was busy too, but she was not using her sewing machine.  This day Lee Anne was doing Twilling.  I think she is making a Ruby Short McKim design in Twilling.  Can't wait to see it!

 Peggy shows us the pile of little nine-patch squares she has been working on.  As I recall, she said she needed 150 squares and has nine to go.  Way to go Peggy!
