Providing beauty with function is always a good thing! The pattern provides instructions for you to customize the covers to your bowls so the fit is perfect every time. Not only do these keep the bugs away, but they also add a touch of elegance to a summer table!

TRUNK ORGANIZER
This trunk organizer features four separate compartments and two outside pockets, providing lots of storage. The sections and dividers are all sewn and bound individually so construction is a piece of cake. The outside handles provide ease of mobility when in use. When storing, collapse it, but it is so pretty, why not always leave it ready?
Planning a trip to the beach? What a great way to store and carry towels, floaties, sunscreen, repellant, sand toys…you get the picture. Once you start thinking outside of the box, you’ll want several and so will your friends!
Since the template for the curved top is over-sized, it is not printed on the pattern. Instead, you can download it from the Cut Loose Press website.

The Healing Quilt by Crabapple Hill Designs
What a wonderful idea! The embroidered blocks have words of encouragement as shown on the back cover. This is the perfect choice for a group quilt for a friend who is going through a tough time.
A group of caring friends can easily and quickly make this lovely, warm quilt for someone in need of love and support. Pattern pages are separate so it’s easy to divvy up! We all have different skill sets so the blocks can be chosen based on the individual skill sets of the contributors involved.
Encouraging words when they’re needed most, and lots of flowers to spread love and happiness. This quilt has a bit of everything… piecing, applique, English paper piecing, and hand embroidery. Back it with a Minky type backing for an extra warm, cuddly feel. It’s the perfect, generous size for tucking in while seated whether at home, in the car, or sitting for hours in waiting rooms or treatments.
