Kits - Back in Stock

Today I am excited to announce

 the 

Rhapsody Market Tote Kits

 are back in stock over at

Bluprint.

Until last year, I really hadn't made a lot of large bags.

Then Craftsy (now Bluprint) approached me about designing a large market bag

and

I became a little obsessed with making them.

I designed this pattern, Bluprint made a kit,

and then it

SOLD OUT

in both colors.

THANK YOU!

And now if you missed out on the first round of kits you are in luck.

This super oversized tote kit is available.

The larger the better if you ask me.

And this one is big.

It’s made with just one package of 10” squares!

I'm just tickled to share that you can

now pick up your own large Market Tote kit over at Bluprint featuring my pattern again.

You can choose from 2 color combinations too!

Use coupon code EXTRA20 until Monday 11/18/2019

for 20% off the price!!!

I hope you will try out one of the kits.

They may not be back again...

If you make one, be sure to share pictures with me. 

I would love to share your market bags.

Little Fabric Christmas Trees

I just love stitching little things for my Christmas decor.

I don't really entertain much, but the warm feeling of 

Christmas decorations are great for the soul.

Today I am over on the 

Thermoweb Blog

with a free pattern and tutorial to make a

Fabric Christmas Tree.

It only takes a few supplies including

HeatNBond® Fusible Fleece

and

Christmas fabric.

I used Fairy Frost Metalic by Michael Miller Fabrics.

It's time to start thinking about your Christmas Decor

and maybe

making something new.

This is just the project to get you started.

Be sure to go to the 

Thermoweb Blog

and 

grab this free pattern.

A Time for All Seasons Block of the Month - November

Today is the first day of November

A Time For All Seasons

Block of the Month.

Our team of designers has been so busy with this

Block of the Month

love showing new blocks each month.

Joan at MooseStash Quilting

is the designer for November

and

there are 2 awesome blocks.

Cornucopia

is the applique block.

It is perfection for November.

Tiramisu

It's paper pieced.  I just love the accuracy of a good paper piece pattern.

Rich fall colors are so fun to use.

Fall Quilt Market 2019 - My Little Contributions

I will admit, I am a little (lot) bummed I am not at quilt market

this weekend.

I went back and forth about whether to go or not.

The decision to stay was based on the fact that I would have to go by myself

and

that isn't really an option for me right now.

BUT, I do have a few items on display at market.

This is Feather Me a Rainbow

and

it's over in the Thermoweb booth #1848.

Go check out the new products.

I heard there is a NEW HeatnBond EZ Tee Stabilizer that’s perfect for Tee-shirt quilts!

Check out my 

Two Bottle Wine Tote

there too.

I spent one-day last month playing with a new fabric collection

by Jackie Kunkle for Island Batik called Ancient Etchings.

Island Batik asked me to make

 Alice the Alpaca

from the Funky Friends Factory.

Here she is at market, Booth #1920, with her friend Lloyd Llama made by another 

Island Batik Ambassador,

Jennifer at Curlicue Creations.

.  Someone gave them pompom collars.

  So cute...

The Stu the Sea Turtle was made by Island Batik Ambassador, Vasudha Govindan of Storied Quilts, I believe.

More info on the other can be found on Canton Village Quilt Works Facebook post by clicking HERE. 

The fabrics are available in shops in Jan/Feb 2020.

I do have one other item in Houston,

but I'll post more on that later.

Quilt Market 2019
