A SALE, A PROJECT, AND NEW FABRIC

Isn’t this eye-catching? And interesting too. Barb made this sample for the Attic Window Quilt Shop. It is a quilt-as-you-go project. When I heard how it was made I became intrigued because it's different from what I'd heard about other quilt-as-you-go methods. I’m hoping she’ll teach a class on this one. Look for it in the upcoming newsletter.

This is a closer look. I love these vibrant fabrics, don’t you?

Speaking of fabrics, what about these above? They are from the Seen On Halloween line from Maywood Studios. I can’t wait to include these cats in my next Halloween project.

SALE!! The Attic Window Quilt Shop is having a special fabric sale on Friday, July 2nd, Saturday, July 3rd, and Monday, July 5th. A select group of sale fabrics will be $4/yard. You won’t want to miss this. Get there early before the selection is picked over.

Make it Perfect has a cute tutorial for a peek-boo-toy sack. You don't have to open the bag to see what is inside. Great way to organize those toys or whatever you need to organize.

Until next time,

HAVE YOU HEARD OF A SHOP SWAP?

Have you joined the Shop Swap of 2010? The Attic Window Quilt Shop and Quilted Memories in Montague are teaming up for a Shop Swap. If you join the Shop Swap you will be making the above quilt. All kits are pre cut for your convenience. The fabric is from the Noel line by Benartex. Here is how it works. You bring your sewing machine to the Attic Window Quilt Shop and start your project. You will then go to Quilted Memories for the rest of your kit and to finish your project. You will have Wednesday, July 14th through Saturday, July 17th to make your quilt. You may sign up at either shop, but reservations must be made ahead of time in order to get your pre-cut kit. The cost is $55, which includes lunch and your pre-cut kit! What a deal! You won’t want to miss this fun event. Make your reservations now!

This is a picture of a quilt that Chris made for her niece. It is also the quilt that you will make in the Beginning Quilt Class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. What a fun project for a beginner. Look for this beginning quilt class on the next calendar.
.
Don’t forget all the other fun events going on this week at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. There is another Make It Take It class on Tuesday. This one is an appliqué project.

Sew Thankful Blog has a great tutorial for an Ice-Me-Nicely Covered Ice Pack. Check it out!

DOESN'T THIS MAKE YOU GIGGLE?

+++++++
I stopped at the Attic Window Quilt Shop today and found so many new things to tell you about that I didn’t know where to start. So, I’m starting here. This whimsical dinosaur is one block on the panel by Whistlepig Creek Productions. It is so cute. On their website they say our goal is to make you giggle! I think they have succeeded!


This is the entire panel. The pattern is One Billion B.C. Quilt and you can pick up the pattern and the panel at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. I love panels. They are quick and easy to make for that gift you need in a hurry. Better do it before they are all gone.

Hyacinth Quilt Designs has some free patterns for you. Check out these blooming button flowers.

Be sure and stop back soon to see the other new things at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

Until next time,Caroll
