Dawn made this cute "Pockets to Go" organizer by Atkinson Designs from sewing-themed fabrics by Robert Kaufman (the "scissor" fabric from Moda was added to the picture below.) Twelve interior pockets and two zippered exterior pockets make room for all her sewing tools. With our Pockets to Go Sewing Caddy kit, you too can have one sewn in a jiffy!

Continued confessions of a charm pack junkie~
Spring has finally arrived! This sweet quilt is the perfect place to share a book with a special little person in your life, as you enjoy a sunny afternoon together.
This time, I used Creative Grids Charming 5 Square Whirligig Template #4 and two charm packs of "Central Park" by Kate Spain. Terri K. of Sisters, Oregon did the machine quilting. Here is the full view of my quilt...
I don't think I mentioned it before, but every template comes with a pattern for a table topper. The "Bow Tie" runner below is the pattern that comes with the Whirligig Template. I used charm squares left over from the quilt above.
Currently, we have a Suduko Quilt Kit by Moda that's perfect for making both the quilt and the table runner! (You could always use the "Suduko" pattern for another line of fabric!)
Time to take the plunge, break open those charm packs, and start using them! ~Tamra

Continued confessions of a charm pack junkie...
As promised...here is charmer #2. The quarter-square blocks were made from our "Contemporary" Custom Cut Charm Pack. (2 each of 20 different hand-selected fabrics, cut into 5" squares.)
I used Creative Grids Half-Square/Quarter-Square Template #6.
Having the right tools and the right charm pack makes this little quilt "Easy Breezy!"
Charmer #3 is on the way~ Tamra
