For this block you will need:
4) 4-inch white squares
4) 4-inch pink squares
4) 3 1/2 -inch pink squares
2) 3-inch rose gold squares
2) 3-inch black print squares
5) 2 1/2 -inch green squares
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We were grateful to take a few days off and be with family.
December's mystery kits are ready to be picked up. We opted for a project that can be completed fairly quickly. I think both versions turned out great.
Here is a photo of the quilt using the Tea with Bea collection.
And here is one from the "At the Lake" collection.
As usual, we have some coordinating binding and backing fabrics available while they last.
With the busyness of the holidays, we have not yet selected fabric for the January mystery quilt so keep and eye on the blog site. We will post photos as soon as we are able.
We will be closed this Friday and Saturday as we celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
We are so grateful for your support and friendship and wish you the very best in 2022 and beyond!
For this block you will need:
4) 4" light squares
4) 4" black squares
4) 3 1/2" black squares
2) 1 x 6 1/2" green strips
2) 1 x 5 1/2" strips
1) 5 1/2" green and white check
rose gold for flower applique
black floral for applique
Sew a 1 x 5 1/2 inch green strip to opposite sides of the green and white checked center square. Press. Sew the 1 x 6 1/2 inch green strips to the remaining sides of the square.
Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4 inch light squares. Place one of these with a 4 inch black square, making sure the rights sides are together and the outside edges are aligned. Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the line. Cut on the line. Square to 3 1/2 inches. Repeat to create 8) half square triangle patches. Use the photo as a guide to assemble the block.
Finish the block by attaching the flower using the applique method of your choice.
We have the mystery kits ready a little early this month. You are welcome to stop by and pick them up.
It turned out very cheery!
Just so you are aware - we will close a little early Wednesday before Thanksgiving and will be closed through the holiday weekend.
We are so thankful for your support and friendship. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
We are offering two choices for the December mystery quilt. You can choose At the Lake or Tea with Bea. Just let us know which you prefer. We have another great layer cake quilt planned.

4) 4" background squares
4) 4" green print squares
4)3 1/2" green print squares
2) 3" pink print squares
2) 3" green plus squares
4) 2 1/2" green plus squares
1) 2 1/2 " pink square
Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4" background squares. Place each of these with a 4" print square making sure the right sides are together and the outside edges are aligned. Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the line. Cut on the line. Trim the resulting half square triangles to measure 3 1/2 inches.
Repeat the process using the 3" pink and green squares to create 4) half square triangles. Trim to measure 2 1/2 inches.
Refer to the photo below to assemble the block.
Happy Sewing!
We hope you are all well and good. We find it hard to believe that the holiday season is already upon us.
Just wanted to remind you that tomorrow (Nov. 5) is the first Friday of the month. Becky is moving fabric to get ready for the Five fifty five sale. Come and see if there might be something you can use.
We will also be offering 20% off of all pre-cuts in the shop (excluding those in kits).
We will be closed Saturday, November 6th to participate in our grandson's baptism. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Have a great week!
