Latest quilts and projects

Here's a new little quilt from our Anniversary pattern Criss-Cross pathways - this version we used a few less fabrics and limited the colors to a subdued gray and blue combination - the inspiration came from this larger quilt pictured below that features a great stripe border from the Settlement collection of fabrics Jeanne Horton for Windham fabrics.  Again, we mixed up some blues and grays and added a touch of charcoal for emphasis.  The pattern is fat quarter friendly and you can go as scrappy as you like - so this would be a good one to use up some leftover reproduction fabrics and mix and match as you choose.  The pattern, New Market is from Red Crinoline quilts.

New Market 

We've been busy preparing for fall...you know that means lots of fun and festive Halloween preparations but in addition to costumes and chocolate - we've gotten a couple of bags made lately - they are both from Noodlehead patterns - and I am really pleased with the construction methods and details she covers in the patterns.  There are some other really great projects in the new book - Handmade Style besides bags so stop by and check 'em out!  These bags have left for good homes but I think I've got ideas for a few more favorite fabric combinations.....

Eighth Anniversary Doll Quilt ~ Criss-Cross Pathways...

We think this year's small quilt is the perfect combination of scrappy repetition...just enough blocks to keep it fun and plenty of fabric combinations to enjoy.  The pattern and kits are available for purchase on our website or in the shop so stop by soon and visit the quilt in person!  

Criss-Cross Pathways

Thanks so much Suz!  So glad you took the time to create our pattern this year - and for those of you who caught a sneak peek at what else Suz created using the same block pattern...she's back in the sweat shop working out a pattern for that project too - so watch for details!  It is a great combination of applique, stitchery and pieced blocks!  

The Trunk show of string projects from Rana Heredia of Sewn into the Fabric is on display in the class room!  The projects all feature a combination of string piecing and scraps that will give you some new ideas - stop in before the 22nd to see these colorful quilts in person and you'll surely want to pick a new project and dive into your scraps!
