Laura has a new fabric line called Potpourri coming out with Windham fabrics in June. The line is beautiful – so soft and inviting!
Just look at the detail on one of the focus fabrics:
And look at the new patterns she has coming out in May to showcase the line!
So soft and pretty – who could resist!
With a title like that, who could resist??? Stacy West’s newest book – due out in February – is sure to be a winner!
The book includes 25 patterns with a vintage feel. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here is just a sampling of what you have to look forward to:
Each one is cuter than the next! But, since they are smaller projects, why not treat yourself to one a month?
And Laura Heine has created his prince – and it couldn’t be cuter! “Whatevers” are eight in blocks that can be turned in to WHATEVER you want! Let your creative juices flow!
And, then there is Burt! These are numbers seven and eight in an ongoing series. Wouldn’t they be darling on the wall of a nursery?
Christmas is next week but we still have at least three more months of winter weather. This snow globe inspired project is just the ticket for a class!
All of these patterns are due to arrive this month so order now!
The title says it all! Yoko Saito loves houses in every shape and size. Some are pieced, some are appliqued – but all of them are stunning and will make you smile.
The book includes twenty projects, all featuring her whimsical style in all kinds of ways. Here is just a sampling:
Why not use this as inspiration to design your own village? Shouldn’t one have your quilt shops name on it???
This is such a brilliant idea that I wish I would have thought of it! For those retired Girl Scouts among us, this will make you smile!
Why not start your own Quilt Cadet program? There are twelve badges – each supporting a different skill. There are even age-appropriate patterns! Some are beginner level but as their skills grow, the projects include more techniques.
Why not start a group in your shop next year???
What child isn’t fascinated by dragons? And these darlings by The Whole Country Caboodle will make everyone smile!
Don’t you love the way many of the dragons just can’t be contained in their 10″ blocks. Can’t you picture these as wall art as well as a quilt? The kits include laser cut pieces and patterns for placement. They are due to arrive next month so order them now.
Lisa Bongean is famous for working and wool and her eye for detail. She adds that awe factor to everything she touches. Her latest book – shipping this week – is full of all of the tips and tricks Lisa has learned along the way.
Ditch the trial-and-error and learn from Lisa’s decades of experience step by step: wool appliqué, embroidery stitches, and much more. Filled with close-up photos of Lisa’s hands working her magic, this book will show you how to master each technique down to the tiniest detail.
Start with Lisa’s fabric tips; then move on to her favorite tools, templates, threads, and needles. How does she create her slim vines, pretty pennies, and flower appliqués? It’s all here, along with a dozen embroidery stitches in photos so clear, you can’t go wrong.
Stirrups & Stitches have several new laser cut designs – created specifically for 4, 7, or 10 inch embroidery hoops. Many are available in multiple sizes. The kit includes the laser cut design, the hoop and a chain and suction cup to hang it. All you need is scraps or a fat quarter to complete the project.
They also recommend a wavy rotary cutter to finish the outside edge. These designs are due to arrive the beginning of January and would make great Make It, Take It projects for a Christmas open house.
These latest designs are due to arrive in November and December.
The “Whatevers” series are eight inch patterns that are reasonably priced and a simple way to learn the technique.
Why not schedule a class today?
This quilt is soooo cute and got rave reviews in Houston – whimsical and cute – with that awe factor that makes everyone smile! Everything is pieced except the reindeer – which are appliqued. Darling!
The Cutting Edge Bag holds all of your sewing needs and the bag holds scraps when sewing.
Wild Thing is a stack and whack technique that s a great stash buster. It uses 30 fat quarters!
All of these patterns are due to arrive in December.
