THE ATTIC WINDOW ROW BY ROW - HAVE YOU VOTED?

Have you visited the Row By Row Experience Blog and voted for those rows that you liked best? I love the Attic Window Quilt Shop’s row (shown above).  This row is so cute! Chris used the Creative Grid Double Strip 90° Triangle ruler and the Double Strip 45° Triangle ruler to make this darling quilt.  Make this row a winner by going to the Row By Row Experience site, click on “start here”, then click on the Michigan license plate, then on the left click where it says “visit the Michigan Row By Row Experience on Facebook."  Then scroll down until you find the link to “Row By Row Experience With Creative Grids” and click on that.  From there you are on your own because every computer is different.  You just need to be signed into Facebook and find the Attic Window row which is number 49, and click on the “like” button.  Let’s make this one a winner for Chris!!!!

ALSO:  Mark your calendar now.  The Lighthouse Quilt Guild is sponsoring the “Treasures: Past, Present, & Future” Quilt Show in Grand Haven, MI on July 25 & 26.  The doors will be open on that Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.  Admission is $6.  There are more than 150 member quilts on display.  There will also be vendors.  In fact, the Attic Window Quilt Shop is a vendor at this show, so be sure and stop by their booth.

HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEET

The Happy Scrappers met Wednesday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop and a good time was had by all!  I can say that because we sure did laugh a lot!  Above, Judi A. shows us her table runner that she made using the One Block Wonder technique.  I love how this is turning out and now want to make several as holiday gifts.

What is Adrienne doing?

Adrienne is showing us the Block Carrier that she made.  She said she decided she needed one to carry her blocks back and forth to Bee.  She looked around her house and created this one all on her own.  This is a wonderful way to save time and get more sewing done.  You can do all the cutting for your blocks while at home, place each block between the dividers in the carrier, and just sew your heart away at Bee!

Paula worked on her pinwheel blocks.  Above she is squaring them up.

Paula also worked on this adorable block.  Don’t you just love those blue birds!

Judi A. continued working on her quilt as you go. This is going to be a stunning quilt.

Catherine showed us this beautiful quilt that she is working on.  She is trying to find the perfect shade of green for the border.  A special thank you to Catherine for providing us with lunch.  She brought home made noodles in a casserole!  Fantastic!

Diana worked on these very small hexagons!  I don’t know how she does it.  Working on something that small would stress me out!  Her work is fantastic! 

A very special thank you goes to Diana for bringing us Tim Tams.  I love these wonderful cookies from Australia and thank her for thinking of me (she brought a couple of packages for me to take home.) ;o)
