Nine Carat Quilt by Sarah Fulks
All you need is ten fat quarters and a favorite background fabric to create this stunning quilt. It is easier than you think! Piece large nine-patches together. The magic happens when you sub-cut them and sew them back together in a different configuration.
The instructions are written for an over-sized throw but you can add or delete blocks to make the quilt of your dreams. You may even learn a new technique along the way.
Purr-sonality by Deb Heatherly
Just five 10-inch and five 5-inch squares are needed to make the blocks in this quilt. What a great way to learn how to use the Creative Grids Cat’s Cradle Tool. The blocks are created with squares and rectangles and then trimmed to size. The trimming creates the triangles, it’s magic!
Applique a cat in the corner or use holiday themed fabric and applique leaves, holly, snowflakes, pumpkins…the possibilities are endless. You won’t be able to just make one! The Cat’s Cradle Tool is required to make the pattern.
Flexible Floe Runner by Jill Blair
Flexible Floe Runner is made from one charm pack or (36) 5″ squares. The cover runner features neutrals for a modern look. But I would love to see it in holiday fabrics. Pumpkins or snowflakes anyone?
This is the perfect group or beginner project. Since the blocks are all trimmed to the same size AFTER the angled seams are sewn, all the blocks are the same size. A little fudge factor built into a project is always a good thing! The Creative Grids Straight Out Of Line Tool is required.
The Creative Grids 4-1/2 inch square and the Folded Corner Clipper are recommended.

REVERSIBLE BOWL COVERS
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!
The covers also work well for other uses. Why not make them to fit mason jars? Add a buttonhole on top for a straw and you have a great drink cover! Or use one to cover and store your sourdough starter while it is being fed.
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.

Hexagon Alley adds a modern twist to the traditional hexie blocks.
