November mystery quilt

With this being Thanksgiving week we figured it might be nice to have the mystery kits ready a little early.  You are welcome to stop in and pick them up today if you would like.

We kept the quilt fairly simple to show off the beautiful prints in the collection. 

We chose to add an optional border which makes the quilt about 67 x 83 1/2 inches. 

We will be using the Juniper collection for our December mystery quilt.  Since the last Tuesday in December falls on New Years Eve we will pass out the kits on Monday, Dec. 30th.

Thank you for your support.  As we take a moment to think of our blessings we count you among them. 

The shop will be closed this Thursday through Saturday as we celebrate Thanksgiving and spend a little extra time with our family.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Second Sat. Sampler block 8

For this block you will need:
8) 4" background squares

8) different 4" print squares

Draw a diagonal line on the back of all of the 4 inch background squares.

Match each of the background squares with a 4" print square making sure the outside edges are aligned and the right sides are together.

Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn lines.  Cut on the line.  Square each section to 3 1/2 inches and trim the excess points of the seams.  Press toward the print.

Assemble the resulting 1/2 square triangles to create the block as pictured above.

Happy Halloween!

Hope you are having a spooky good day.

Tomorrow (Nov. 1) is the first Friday of the month.  That means we have some scary good savings planned for you.  We have added lots of beautiful fabric to the shelves in preparation for the $5.55 sale tomorrow.  Come and check them out.

Be safe.  We'll see you tomorrow.

October mystery quilt revealed today

Look at the wonderful quilt Becky made with the Serenade layer cake.

It involves a small amount of simple, raw edge applique and some quick patches.  Didn't it turn out cute? 

We want to thank all of you who chose to participate.  We had great sign ups for this month's quilt.

We liked the quilt so well that we created a Christmas version replacing the flowers with Christmas trees.  We have one Christmas kit left and will be happy to pass it on to the first person who requests.  (We will be ordering more so don't panic just yet.)

We will be using fabric from the Penny Rose collection "Majestic" for the November mystery quilt.  If you like it sign up soon.

Happy Halloween!

Second Sat. Sampler block 7

We are on the downhill slide.  Hope you are enjoying the ride!

 

For this block you will need:
4) 4" background squares

4) 3 1/2" background squares
4) 4" blue print squares

4) 4" red print squares

Draw a diagonal line on the back of each of the 4 inch background squares and two of the red print squares.

Match two of the 4" blue print squares to the red print squares with the diagonal line on the back.  Make sure the right sides are together and the outside edges aligned.  Match the remaining blue and red 4" print squares with the 4" background squares making sure the outside edges are aligned and the right sides are together.

Sew 1/4 inch on each side of the drawn lines.  Cut on the line.  Square each section to 3 1/2 inches and trim the excess points of the seams.  Press toward the print.

Assemble the resulting 1/2 square triangles to create the star block as pictured above.

September Mystery Quilt

It is the last Tuesday of September.  That means it is time for another mystery quilt reveal and here it is.

Becky replaced one of the blocks in the quilt with a pieced kitty block.  I think it adds a fun little punch to the cat themed quilt.

We have cut accessory kits for the kitten head if you like the addition it makes to the quilt.

We have a few extra kits available for the regular retail price of $49.95 if you love the quilt but forgot to sign up ahead.

We plan to use fabric from the Serenade line by Riley Blake for the October mystery.  Call us at 801-465-9133 to reserve your kit.

Thanks so much for your support and friendship.  You make us happy to come to work every day.
