Who would have thought that a partial block would add the awe factor to these placemats? Make the runner or the set of four placemats with just 4 fat quarters and a background fabric. This easy to kit pattern features Creative Grids® Ruler #CGRTKAL45 (also comes with paper templates).


Use this 45 degree Kaleidoscope ruler to cut designs created with eight separate 45 degree triangle units such as kaleidoscopes and Dresden Plate blocks. These triangles can also be pieced into a saw tooth border. Cut triangles up to a finished height of 8 inches to piece blocks that measure up to a finished size of 16 inches. A 1/4 inch dashed line is printed on each side of the center vertical line so you can cut 22-1/2 degree triangles that include the seam allowance.

The pattern is due to arrive later this month so place your orders now.

Kristine Poor highlights striped prints in this table décor duo! Use beautiful floral stripes for a traditional look or cut different stripes from a desert stripe as shown on the front cover. Kitting is easy with just 4 fabrics. Placemats finish at 13″ x 19″; table runner finishes at 13″ x 42″. Create a class using stripes – first class focuses on cutting stripes; second class finishes with assembly and quilting ideas. Walking foot quilting is a great option for this project.


Shine the spotlight on beautiful stripe prints to provide the “Wow” factor in this tote! Not all stripes are the same – varying the width of the stripe will change the look of the tote. This is another great opportunity to explore stripes in a class. Easy zipper top closure is included. Finishes at 16″ x 10″ x4″ deep.


This cute apron looks great in the garden or in the kitchen! Make bonus potholders from leftover fabric from apron. Includes video for making apron using large panels – a fun seaonal sample for your shop! Apron finishes at 33″ long; potholders are 8″ square.

I love the way that Kristine Poor designs with the shop owner in mind. In her words:
This quilt features eight different “wintry” blocks! Simple and traditional, it can be a holiday quilt or a winter quilt. The instructions can be split and used as a block of the month program, or a weekly class. Great for basics! Finished size: 49-1/2″ x 59-1/2″; bonus layout included at 54-1/2″ x 64-1/2″.


Four patterns in one. Start a seasonal project club! The Hello Seasons pattern contains 4 different banners. Easy to kit and fun to teach. Add a seasonal banner hanger for a fun kit. Pattern instructions can be broken up into the 4 seasons for kitting and inserts for kits.

The Color Crush Block of the Month is a 6 month program that is separated by month. Cover quilt features Flourish from QT Fabrics. All blocks are simple and traditional; each is supported by short video to reinforce skills. Extend your club with bonus table square and runner to take advantage of blocks from quilt, as well as 3 mini-bonus projects. Finished size: 56 x 64 inches.

Kristine Poor of Poorhouse Quilt Designs is an expert on interfacings. Her latest series of oven mitts supports a heat resistant Bosal product that withstands heat up to 450 degrees.

The oven mitts are pre-cut. One package makes a mitt.

Why not start a series of classes on different interfacings? Since it only takes two fat quarters and a package of the lining, it is easy to prep for a class. Kris has a variety of patterns that make great Make It/Take It classes – feature a different product in each class!

All of these items are due to arrive the middle of next month so place your orders now!

Kristine Poor of Poorhouse Quilt Designs has the best ideas! She is genius at creating projects that can actually be completed in a class. Santa Socks is a perfect example of that!

Santa Socks

These stockings are a nice size – 11″ x 17″ – which also means they can be cut from fat quarters! Christmas fabric is arriving soon so lets be prepared! Kris has worked with Bosal so that the fusible batting is the exact size you need – no need to trim!

That is always the frustrating part since the shape is larger than traditional paper! These patterns and pre-cut batting packages are due to arrive the first week in June so order now!

Dry Ideas

This quarantine has brought back so many memories of my grandma! (Who knew that house dresses would be back in style!) She always had a half-filled sink of soapy water and a towel on the counter with a rack on top to dry the dishes. So when Kristine Poor of Poorhouse Designs submitted this pattern, I was all in! So many teachable moments!!!

It uses pre-cut sheets of In-R-Form to make it even easier to have a class – and they will go home with a finished project! Or do a little video and sell the kits on-line!

After this quarantine, you should have a lot of new customers who dug out their old sewing machines to make masks – and now want new projects. This is the perfect beginner project! Teach them strip-piecing, paper-piecing, (yes, those wine glasses are paper-pieced) top-stitching with micro-tec needles… Remember – these new sewers probably came from clothing and are used to 5/8″ seams so there will be a learning curve!

Kristine has also written a pocket guide to Interfacings. Many of your customers have not worked with this product before so it is another educational opportunity!

Kristine Poor is one of my favorite designers. She knows how to use all of those specialty interfacings, etc. that tend to intimidate me. But her instructions are so well done that she eliminates the intimidation factor so truly anyone can do it!

Her Scalloped Baskets pattern is made with pre-cut Bosal. The pattern includes instructions to make three different scalloped bins using Bosal’s pre-cut Scalloped Placemats or Scalloped Squares. They are reversible, can be pieced or made from a solid piece of fabric, and can even be quilted!

What a great shower gift – filled with everything the new mother will need, of course! They are due to arrive this month so don’t forget to order the foundations as well.

Scallops aren’t just for the Beach

I am in Portland and the excitement started right when I landed. I ran into Christine Poor of Poorhouse Designs at the airport. If her luggage arrived safely, I will actually get to see the originals tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She uses a no binding technique that sounds appealing. I can’t wait to stop by her booth and see how it is done. The purse and clutch are made with one package of Bosal pre-cuts. Buy two because you are going to want to make the placemats as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They come in In-R-Form or Craft-Tex. Choose your favorite product or make samples in both so customers can feel the difference!

We have a new baby at our house so I want to make a set as changing pads! Wouldn’t that be adorable??

Everything should be in stock by the end of the month so order them now!
