The Suzy Sack
is a kick-in-the-pants to make. It was so much fun that I made five of
them! My first attempt took me about an hour and I made a few mistakes,
but from that point forward it was a piece of cake! The bag now takes me
about half an hour error free, start to finish! Wahoo!
This week's tip is a great one. Everyone seems to have an old plastic shoe hanger laying around. Shoe hangers are one of those household products that always seem like a good idea at the time, but then when you get home and try it out, it proves to be more trouble than it's worth. Especially if you buy the cheapest kind that has the clear plastic on the front. The good news is: if you are one of the people who have tried and failed to make your shoe hanger work, there's an alternative use for it that works so well for organizing your quilt projects!
When our super snuggly and soft flannel basics arrived, I knew I wanted to create something with them, but was a little hesitant on doing a larger project as I have never worked with flannel before. I wanted a simpler project that would give me the experience that I needed, but also a finished product. The perfect solution for this was the Rookie Quarterback Baby Quilt by the Robinson Pattern Company. While I'm not a huge football fan, I know plenty of people who are so this will make a great gift when the time comes. Or, I'll just hold on to it for the next time the Buffalo Bills make it to the Superbowl (ha!). I might be holding on to it for a while if that's the case...
Have you seen our new line of scrumptious Quilter’s Candy Flannel Basics?
They have fun colors and patterns and are snuggly soft. Do you think I
could resist? Nope! I jumped right in and chose one of our Independent Designer Patterns: Follow Me Baby Quilt Pattern by Robinson Pattern Company.
This week's tip is so easy, and really fun to do!
Customer suggestion: Take some empty soup cans, paint them your favorite color, and hang on the wall for easily accessible storage.
