This Spring Medallion Quilt is our “Big” project for the Spring 0f 2012. We have done the central applique and this week will be squaring up and adding the first border. Here are all the PDF links you need to get started on this beautiful quilt. (more…)
These Doll Quilts are really getting to me. I’m nearly done with my Time Flies Quilt and have started on the Arroyo 4-Patch (above) and I am hoping to whip a RockABye up soon!
This post offers links to the first 8 PDFs for our Quilter’s Alphabet Blocks. We are honoring our quilting traditions and focusing on the state of quiltmaking today with this ABC Block Of The Week Quilt. This is a FUN quilt! I’ve started mine – Have you started yours?
This year in my classes, we are doing a swap a month and a free quilt pattern will be offered here for each swap. In January, we swapped Blues for the Blue Brick Quilt. February was Reds and the Scattered Hearts Quilt (above).
This Disappearing 9-Patch type pattern (full picture and Pattern PDF below) is one of our most popular posts. It is so simple and so fun to make, you will surely make more than one! And the companion Next Generation (above) quilt takes the Magic 9 one step further with delightful results. Hope you have a great time with these!
We have been fortunate in our classes for the generous donation of these cardboard rolls by some very dear friends. They are industrial strength shrink wrap rolls and I had to think a while on how to use them. This block butler is easy to make (once you know the trick!) and keeps your blocks very nice when traveling to class or to guild meetings or whereever! If you are not a class member, the pattern is easily adaptable to the rolls you can get at the Post office for shipping posters and the like… or you could also use the rolls that decorative fabric comes on. Just ask at your local fabric store then cut down to the needed size. (more…)
We love to do Fabric Swaps in our NOCCCS-SCE-OAP classes. We choose a theme then a square size and a date. For these swaps in 2010 and 2011, we swapped 40 each 10″ squares. These patterns are all based on a fabric collection like that.
Here is our most popular pattern to date… and it is not a quilt! It’s the cutest, most practical and easiest gift you’ll ever make… And the potatoes come out simply delicious! All the info you need is on the Microwave Baked Potato Bag PDF below. (more…)
