ARE YOU A WOMAN WITH CURVES?

Are you like so many of us, intimidated by curves? They are difficult. They get those little wrinkles in them. Do you find yourself saying, "I just don't do curves." Avoidance is one way to solve the curve problem. Besides, this one block sure isn't much to look at.

But look what you can do with a few blocks of curves.


These curves are fun. Try you hand at making a few curves. Be creative. Have fun playing with your fabric. You'll be surprised and thrilled with what you come up with. Look for an upcoming class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.



Pick up a couple Charm packs and make this lovely quilt.

CONGRATULATIONS TO JULIE

Congratulations to Julie Lewis who teaches doll making at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. Julie has decided to start her own blog. Currently it's called Dolls By Julsie but she’s looking for a catchier name. Stop by and leave a comment letting her know your thoughts. Congratulations Julie!!!

You're probably wondering what Julie's new blog has to do with this cat. This is Julie's daughter's cat, Meeko. The cat loves Julie's sewing machine. Thought you'd get a kick out of it.
Found a new BOM that you might want to take a look at. These are the first couple of blocks for the Geese in the Forest BOM. Well, whoever said the forest had to be green or that the geese had to be a certain color? Take a look at Tiddle Tales and start this fun BOM.

This is another fun BOM. Hop over to Mama Sparks World and sign up for the BOM there. The house above is a first try, but you can also go over to Nutbud Quilter, scroll down and see what her houses look like. They are very nice with her lovely choice of colors and added touch of the hearts.
Until Next Time, Happy Quilting

HOW TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE

Anything unattempted remains impossible. This sign was posted outside an auto repair shop. How appropriate. Have you attempted the impossible? We had pictures of the beginner's class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop last fall. Now they are making sure that quilting is not impossible for them. They have graduated to the intermediate class and are now "attempting" this lovely quilt. These are just a few of the blocks they are making for their quilt. Aren't they lovely!



These fabrics are so pretty! They arrived in the mail Saturday and are a prize from Quilting-n-Other Stuff. Check out her blog as it's filled with lots of information and lovely pictures. Thank you Vicki so much for this beautiful prize!

Here's another BOM that might be of interest. The pattern is so cute and seems easy to do. Check out Mama Spark's blog spot. After you have looked at all the nice things on the blog, click on the Free BOM (upper left hand corner) and it will take you to the patterns.

Until Next Time: Happy Quilting
