Nancy Halvorsen’s Wonder Lane

I have been writing this newsletter since the very first issue, and this is the first time I have seen a block of the month series with ALL 12 patterns in the top 100 on the Checker website! Why? Because Nancy has thought of everything! Each reasonably priced booklet features a center block with a monthly theme surrounded by three different pieced blocks. Each month, your customers can make a wall hanging that all measure the exact same size.

Frost Hill on Wander Lane - Block 1
Loveland Cottage on Wander Lane - Block 2
Shamrock Ridge on Wander Lane - Block 3
Bunny Knoll On Wander Lane - Block 4
Blossom Trail On Wander Lane - Block 5
Honeybee Hollow On Wander Lane - Block 6
Liberty Heights On Wander Lane - Block 7
Sunflower Slope On Wander Lane - Block 8
Schoolhouse Haven on Wander Lane - Block 9
Midnight Manor on Wander Lane - Block 10
Harvest Acres on Wander Lane - Block 11
Mistletoe Crossing on Wander Lane - Block 12

If that is not enough eye candy, the center blocks and one of each pieced block can be sewn into a beautiful throw. Talk about options! And, as always, Checker carries everything you need right down to the button packets for each month. Why not order them all and offer a discount if they buy all of the booklets in the beginning?

Prepping for Valentine’s and St. Paddy’s Day

Yes, this is the perfect Valentine decoration but why not make it in wedding colors for a bridal shower? The wedding party can sign the hearts and the guests can sign around them. What a great memory of the day!

Crazy Hearts #CLPKAL011 from Cut Loose Press by Karla Alexander.

Don’t you love the name? In Crazy Love #CLPKAL014 from Cut Loose Press the angles doesn’t matter. The sashing strips can be adjusted by trimming them after the letters are pieced so they are all the same height.

What a great shower or wedding gift. At 18 x 53 inches it would make a statement hanging above a bed!

Creative Grids Spider Web Quilt Ruler


It is all about fabric placement. Lovey #CLPDLB018 by Lisa DeBord combines five different color combinations of a courthouse steps block to spell out LOVE. Since each round of logs is trimmed before the next round is added, perfection is guaranteed. Why not spread some love this year?

There is a little bit of Irish in all of us so why not celebrate it? The leaves of these Tumbling Shamrocks #CLPQIN001 are cut from a variety of 2-1/2in strips. The variety of prints adds depth and texture to the design by creating another design element. Adjust the size accordingly to make it fit your table or gift it to your favorite bloke as a throw! Either way, it will be treasured!
