PLANNING AHEAD

What are you doing this week?  I'm getting ready to go to the Happy Scrappers at the Attic Window Quilt Shop on Wednesday, May 11, and again on Saturday, May 14.  All are welcome to come and sew.  I like to plan ahead and choose projects, and fabrics, and do any cutting I can at home.  That way I can enjoy sewing and socializing.  Hope to see you there!

NOTE:

• The Bees In The Attic is being formed.  It is a new Bee Hive at the shop.  We could still use another member to make it an even dozen.  Call the shop to sign up and find out about the group.  Our next meeting is May 25.  This is only a one hour meeting, but you can stay and sew with us if you like.

WHY NOT QUILT AS YOU GO?

Hello everyone, I hope you had a beautiful weekend.  Did you get any sewing done?  I worked on this Quilt As You Go.  The pattern is Stripalicious and is from the book Learn to Quilt-As-You-Go.

 This book has so many great patterns in it.  I also made the above QAYG from the book.  The pattern is Spring Boquet.

And I made this placemat from the book too.  You can come and learn how to Quilt As You Go and make a placemat with me during a Make It Take It on Tuesday, May 17, from 1-5 p.m. at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Call the shop to register and get your supply list.

HAVE YOU DONE NO CURVE PIECING?

I saw an entire quilt made of this block when recently on the Reach For The Stars Shop Hop.  I doubt that I will make a full quilt, but I did want to try the No Curved piecing that it talks about on the pattern.  The pattern is Swirl-Wind by H.D. Designs.  It comes in two block sizes   One pattern includes directions for a 14" block and an 18" block.  I made the larger block into this table topper using batiks and an Umbrae fabric.  I love how it turned out and am anxious to see how it will look in other fabrics.
