Recently, I was intrigued by these unusual, quilt-as-you-go, fan-shaped place mats in Fast & Furious Family by Gudrun Erla. I used ten Connecting Threads batiks, including some from the limited edition Fall & Winter 2012 Batiks Collection, to complement my Thanksgiving holiday dishes.
I LOVE Halloween ~ what a fun holiday with tricks and treats for all to enjoy. In fact, I collect Halloween fabrics and love taking them out periodically and am entertained by all the sweet, whimsical imagery. All Hallows Bash will be included in my growing stacks at home.
The Hello Sunshine Collection is perfect for anything laundry with its focal motif of garments on a clothesline being tossed about in the fresh summer breeze.
All around the clothesline are sweet, pot-bellied birds. It made me ponder the summer days when I hang my freshly cleaned laundry outside on the clothesline listening to the bird’s melodic music. I love the smell of the crisp air in my clothing!
Fairly simple in construction, the tote, in its intirety, is quilted giving strength and longevity. The bag sports two very large pockets, one on each side, and will accommodate a great deal.
The lovely checked handles are securely built into the tote with no chance of pulling away from the bag because of weight or from use. The Fresh Tote is ideal for a number of applications!
Attention all quilters! Connecting Threads has an assortment of Omnigrip® rulers at 40% off through 9/17/12 (while supplies last). This is a great price for excellent rulers for use with a rotary cutter and self-healing mat.
What prompted me to blog about this sale is the price reduction for the fabulous Omnigrip® 20½” Square Ruler. The regular price is $49.99 and is now $29.99 – a $20 reduction! If you have wanted this ruler but been deterred by the price, this is the time to buy it! Are you asking, “Why would I want a ruler that large?” Let me tell you several reasons why I love this ruler and use it with every quilt project.
When I was choosing projects for my Gifty Galore , I saw the Flower Power Pincushion pattern from Sew Simple Patterns. Since I had already made several teacup pincushions, it was my time to branch out and make a daisy flower pot pincushion.
