LOOKING FOR SOMETHING NEW TO DO?

Diana sent me pictures of some new items at the Attic Window Quilt Shop that you might be interested in. Above is the new book from Martindale by Primitive Gatherings.  Itty Bitty Celebrations is full of great seasonal ideas that you can make with wool. 

The above two Snowmen are wonderful patterns called First Snow and Best Friends.  You know, January is snowman month, so now would be a great time to make these cute guys and have them all ready to decorate your house next year.

Before I go, I want to show you what Cathy M. has been working on.  She said she is using the Log Cabin Quilt Block Foundation Paper that comes in a 42 sheet pad.  These blocks are 12 1/2" unfinished.  You can buy the pad at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Cathy said she was using up her scraps.  Great job Cathy.  Thanks for sharing with us!   

Be sure and stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop and say Hi, and check out all the new fabrics, books, and notions. The hours are Monday-Friday, 10-5; and Saturday, 10-4.  

Hugs, Caroll

FINALLY SOME BLOCKS FINISHED

Since this Pandemic started I've had difficulty focusing, sticking to one thing.  Does anyone else have this problem?  At least I could focus long enough to work on three different blocks.  I just wish I could finish a quilt or table topper or something.  I recently saw a You Tube video "How To Sew A Scrappy Stained Glass Block" by Krebsbachhubercrafts and decided what a great way to use my scraps.  I love the blocks this person made, but I'm not sure about making more.  It took a lot of thinking and sewing, etc.  And mine didn't turn out nearly as pretty as hers.

I finished this block.  I love applique and when recently at the Attic Window Quilt Shop, Chris told me about a new pattern.  There are six blocks and I thought maybe I could start a BOM.  The pattern, Bliss is by Barbara Persing and you can find it at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  

And this is what I have done so far on the Pickup BOM at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I'm not crazy about this kind of applique, but thought I would try it and hopefully improve my skills.  So far it leaves a lot to be desired.  I've decided to make each month's block into a wall hanging.  I like to change things around my house at least once a month. 

Be sure and stop in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop and say Hi, and check out all the new fabrics.  The hours are Monday-Friday, 10 to 5; and Saturday, 10 to 4.

 Chris sent me the above picture.  Here is what she said:

"Melonie is at it again!  The center of  this quilt  is made with one of our panels here at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  She added the borders with the flying geese!  You will have to stop in and check out the quilting that Melonie did!"

Thanks Chris for sharing this lovely quilt with us!
