Fast and Fun Scallops

Here is the photo of the Fast and Fun Scallops that I did, I put it on this cute skirt for my Granddaughter, isn't it sweet? I love scallops, but never wanted to attempt too many of them because of how much work it takes. With the new ruler I am going to show you...it is soooooooooo much easier. I will be teaching  you how to make this, plus easy and fast Prairie Points too. So don't miss this Friday's ( May 4th )
Demo Class from noon till 3:00 p.m.
I hope to see you there! 
P.S. I actually made another skirt and used the scallop there as the bottom edge, but the photos won't come out for me. I really think this computer doesn't like me. Anyway, you can see both of the skirts at the shop!

Fun, Fast and a Flash from the Past!

Just thought I would share with you the newest quilt I did from some new Peanuts fabric, we have in the store now. I did this quilt as a strip quilt and it really was fun, fast and a flash from the past. Who doesn't know who the characters are in the Great Pumpkin or Charlie Brown's Christmas, at least it was  part of my past. The black zig zag or chevron is something I will be teaching at my Demo class this Friday the 4th from noon till 3:00 pm
I will also be teaching you how to make fun and fast scallops to. Will have to find the photos of that and put them in the next post. Both of these and more are done with 2 new rulers we have in the shop. So don't forget to mark your calendar and I will see you Friday, can't wait!

Demo Class tomorrow for Self Mitered Corners for a baby blanket!


Hey dear friends, I have been out of town for 10 days with my new grandson Kai. What a treat it was to spend that time with him, and his Mom and Dad. He is so sweet and quite the little snuggler! Since they live in California, it almost didn't seem real that we had a grandson, until we finally got out hands on him. He is such a good boy. I watched him grow in just the short time I was there. He weighed in at 9lbs and 14 ozs when he was born, and by the time I left and he was a month old, he was weighing in at 13lbs!
It was soooo hard to leave him. I pray that we will stay close and he will always know that his Nana and Poppa love him.
Ok, enough of my bragging! I wanted to remind you all that I have my 2nd Demo class tomorrow ( Wednesday )  I will be teaching the self mitered corners baby blanket. The photo of it is on the post right after this one, it is cute so be sure and scroll down to see it !  It is a very easy technique and I even have quite a few bonus ideas for you, as you can see some of them below also.
So I will see you tomorrow, at the shop from noon till 3:00 ( we have extended my time till 3:00)
Can't wait to see ya!

April's Demo and fun Boy Sample

Hey everyone, can you tell I have had company? I really didn't leave and run away but had company for a week and just played and played. Then right before they left I hurt my back and have been down ever since. So that is why you haven't hurt much from me...sorry about that .
Well, not to confuse you any more but... my Demo's in April will be on different days that usual. Why? Because our new little grandson was born last week and I am flying out to see him in the middle of April. I am sooooooooooooooo excited!
So get your calendars out and mark Weds. April 4th from noon till 3:00 pm I will be teaching the Self Mitered Flannel Blankets and then I will teach it again on Weds. April 25th at the same time. I love these little blankets, they make the perfect gift. Scroll down and look at the other photos.





Here is the sample I did of a little Luvie or Taggie Blanket. They are just perfect for the little ones with texture and ribbons (minky is on the back ). I have all the dimensions and truck pattern for you and will pass them out in my class. If you miss it, check with Susan for the April handouts. I have a couple other new things I did today so I will send them when I can.
Take care and hope to see you on the 4th or the 25th!
Happy Easter dear friends!

Demo class tomorrow March 21st

Hey everyone, I am so sorry that I haven't been in touch lately but... life has been busy and crazy to say the least. I did want to remind you about my Demo class tomorrow from noon till 2:00pm. We are still making the Pennie Pockets as shown in previous blogs, just scroll down a little. so check your calendar and see if you can stop by and come visit with me tomorrow!
Also, I wanted to show you a cute Easter Basket that I made out of the fun Spring Fabric, we just got in. It was fun and easy to make. Just take any tote bag pattern and just scale it down. It can be made with just 2 fat quarters and a yard of rick rack ( of course ) and some batting for inside. Anyway come by and check it out.
Ok, I will hopefully see you tomorrow!
Thanks,
Lynn





Thanks as always to my dear photographer friend and her sweet model!

More Samples ...Easter Apron and Owl Taggies

Here are a couple of new Samples that I brought into the store today. The first one is an Easter Apron, don't want to forget that when you cooking bunny rolls or coloring eggs this year. I used the Fat Quarter Apron instructions, like the one we have in the store and the one I showed in my last demo class! Just two Fat Quarters and some bias tape and you are set!





Next is this fun little Owl Taggie! It was made from 5 1/2" squares, some fun ribbons, the owl pattern that I taught in the Share The Love Demos and some incredibly soft minky on the back ( which we now have in the shop ). The size you need for the minky is a 15 1/2 " square, and you will need the same out of the warm and natural batting. What a perfect little quilt for your little one! Hope you enjoy them! Lynn
