Saturday Sampler quilts continued. . .
Here is an idea for finishing your pieced sampler blocks made this year. Unfortunately the photo doesn't do the quilt justice . . . someone around here has got to take photography lessons! But maybe you can get the idea. This is a full size bed quilt, a great way to use the blocks you have made.
Saturday Sampler Quilts
It feels like the end of the semester and these are the test samples! We have had a great time working throughout 2010 on an Apron quilt that celebrates our Grandmother's era. Here is our version of the finished project.
We love the cowboy quilt, we used the same Let's Twist border technique on the Apron quilt . . . ask to see the book and ruler when you are in the store. It is very easy to make and really sets off our blocks. Won't it be a treat to give this quilt to a favorite cowboy!

November Saturday Sampler
Where does the time go???. . . here we are mid-November. They say the older you get, the faster time goes. We must be getting really old!!!!! The pieced blocks for this month are called "cups and saucers". Only one more block to go and we can all finish out quilts!
We have started putting the cowboy blocks together. The November block is the hat at the bottom right of the quilt. In our class we discussed adding the Let's Twist border. . . don't you LOVE it! If you were unable to make it to class, we can give you a little demo and we also have kits available. We are delighted with the results and hope you will be also.
For some reason the Apron Quilt Block didn't transfer. We'll keep trying to get it on the blog. Stay tuned and stay warm.

'Tis the Season
'Tis the Season. . . the fall season that is. . . and don't you just love the Twist and Turn quilt in our fall colors. The technique is simple and so versatile, makes wonderful quilts, runners, borders, and more. The ruler comes in two sizes, and Let's Twist, a new book, shows lots of design ideas. It's our new favorite!
And speaking of seasons. . . our 'Tis the Season Christmas Sale will be Thursday through Saturday, November 11-13. The fabric is flying as we are working on new Christmas quilts, decor, and gift ideas. We are "sew" excited. (Sorry....just couldn't resist!) Jot a note to yourself and remember to join us for the sale. All bolted fabric will be 20% off. . . a great time to purchase backing, minkee, and lots of yummy flannels for winter, not to mention new kits and project ideas. It's a party, including edible treats! Hope to see you soon.

Baby Quilt
Isn't this the cutest quilt. . . the bears are machine appliqued in minkee, which makes them soft and cuddly. Any baby will LOVE the texture and warmth, not to mention the baby's mama! Using Moda's new line, Pure, for the background, the blues and browns are delightful and versatile. If you need a quilt for a special baby, this is simple and just takes a little time. We have kits available.
