FRIDAY FABRIC AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Today I'd like to show you some of the new fabrics in at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Above are various bolts of fabrics by Kanvas.

 Don't you love these butterflies!  Above is from the Luminaria line by In The Beginning.

 These bolts are also from the Luminaria line by In the Beginning,

 I love these bright bold colors from Timeless Treasurers.

 To go with those bright colors above is this darling I Love My Cat fabric also by Timeless Treasurers.

 And you can also use this adorable kitty fabric from Timeless Treasurers.

 For those of you who are not into the brights, you are sure to like Moda's Garden House line.

 This is also from the Moda Garden House line.

These two bolts of fabric are by Hoffman.  The line is called Skylines.

THESE LADIES ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR SCRAPS

 The Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop on Wednesday.  We had a little show-n-tell.  Above, Judi A. shows us this stunning embroidery piece that she recently finished.

 Judi spent the rest of the day taking paper off this paper pieced quilt.  It is lovely!

 Cathy worked on this applique table runner.  When we first saw the pattern, we thought it was pieced.  However, Cathy soon learned it is applique.  She's doing a great job.

 Vickie S. worked on an applique piece.  I look forward to seeing this finished.  So beautiful.

 Lee Anne worked on a charity quilt.  Love all those great fabrics!

 Peggy was busy most of the day making red and white pinwheels that will go on the border of this striking quilt.

 You can hardly see them, but Diana worked on some very small pieces of English Paper Piecing.
It took me all day to make this block.  It is the third block of Pat Sloan's My Secret Garden BOM.  A special thank you to Diana, who sat next to me and helped keep me on track with those half square triangles.

WEDNESDAY WONDERS

 Want to learn Twilling?  Above is the block for the Ruby Short McKim BOM being offered at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  During the monthly meetings for this BOM the pattern being offered is Ruby's Flower Baskets.  Occasionally guest teachers will provide techniques for hand embroidery, machine applique, adding color to flowers and more.  This month Lee Anne will show you how to use the Twilling stitch to make this block.

 Recently, Colleen stopped in at the Attic window Quilt Shop and showed us this adorable quilt.
 This is a close up of a few of the blocks on Colleen's quilt.  She said the pattern is from the book Farm Girls Vintage.
 While at the shop on Monday I noticed this Hexagon wall hanging/table topper that Vickie S. made.  It is stunning.  I bet she could be talked into having a class on how to make this!
 Misti sent me a few pictures of what she has been up to.  She made this darling book bag.  It is applique and she said the base fabric is linen.  So cute!  She said this bag was from a kit.
This is a second book bag that Misti made using fabrics from her stash.  What great gifts they will make!
Misti is also participating in a BOM and this is the block she just finished.   I'm not sure the name of the BOM she is participating in, but it sure looks like the block for this month's Pat Sloan's My Secret Garden.  Nice job, Misti.
