We had sew much fun with the Jelly Roll Race. Congratulations to our winner with the black & white quilt top! If you ever need a quick top for a gift or charity quilt, these can be made in 3 to 4 hours using any 2 1/2-inch Jelly Rolls.
Welcome to our first ever mini-blog! Every week in the shop, quilters come & go, sharing their quilts, creative ideas, and informative experiences with fabrics & tools.
Along with new fabric, upcoming classes, and helpful techniques, we hope to bring you the creativity and inspiration shared with us by kindred quilters to sew beautiful quilts and projects, the sky’s the limit!
Happy Stitching!

One of our Tuesday ladies brought in the cutest tote bags that she had made for her nieces. She graciously walked everyone through making their own special tote! The ladies made it in just a few hours with a half yard of each fabric. Here is the link to a YouTube tutorial -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S834FXhCMXw- (our instructor simplified the pattern to avoid binding) These little totes make quick gifts for friends & family.

We had a fun class making the Carpenter Star quilt top using Triangles on a Roll which make perfect half square triangles. We used the 6-inch finished half square triangles and followed a pattern by QuiltFrog.com. In the shop we offer several different Triangles on a Roll sizes range from 2 1/2" finished to 6" finished half square triangles. The pattern we chose only requires 2 contrasting fabrics and 1 background (one roll can make several quilt tops). This is a great tool for beginning quilters because there are so many patterns you can create with half square triangles (pinwheels, diamonds, square in square . . )!

Last year, a motor-coaching couple with over 30 years on the road together came in to find a pattern & fabric for her first quilt. We were so excited to help.
While picking out fabrics, she told us her daughter is a quilter and they were going to visit her and make the quilt together. In only four days, they whipped up a King-size quilt top!
They came back to show us the finished quilt, isn't it beautiful?
All the fabrics were from the shop and the pattern is from the ‘Easy Does It’ Patten book by Fabric Café (3-Yard Quilts)
She chose all the blues with Grey Vapor Rustic Weave by Moda and her husband chose the ‘GLOW’ by Chong-a Hwang for a floral inner border, the black really made it pop!
