"Ten Little Things" by Jenn Ski
This new line of fabric from Moda just arrived and its cute as can be! There is a fabric panel for making a soft counting book for little ones. Inside the book there are panels made with "chalkboard" fabric for practicing how to write numbers! The finished book has a zippered pocket on the outside for holding necessary chalk and an eraser cloth. What a fun project!
Construction is made simple using Jellyroll strips and a fabric panel...

Karen M. stopped by the store last week to show us
her sweet-as-can-be baby quilt made with 5" Charm Squares!
Karen used Pinwheel Baby Quilt pattern from the Moda Bake Shop website/blog.
The quilt is absolutely adorable and I just love the Prairie Point border!
Great job Karen~ thank you for sharing it with us!

Friday was the last day of Kid's Quilting Camp for Summer 2011~ we had a good time together!
The girls made "Magic 9-Patch" quilts, using 5" squares (...yes, I had to work in Charm Squares somehow!) The girls sewed together nine 9-Patch blocks. Then I cut all the blocks in half both directions, the girls rearranged the blocks and sewed them back together again! I did all the cutting in this class, but we had a discussion about rotary cutter safety, do's and don'ts. We added borders, layered quilt sandwiches, did a "pillowcase-turn" finish, turned the quilt right-side out, closed up the hole by hand and had a discussion about how to quilt the layers together. Everyone went home with a nearly finished lap-sized quilt, ready to be quilted (in just 15 hours of class time together!) AWESOME! Great job girls~ Tamra

Continued confessions of a charm pack junkie~
Here is lucky #7...just back from the quilter (Terri K. of Sisters)
this cutie doesn't even have its binding on yet, but I just had to share!
(How many little froggy faces can you find hidden in the fabric?)
I used two
Stitchin' Post Custom Cut Charm Packs in
"Prince Charming" by Tula Pink.
The pattern I used is called "Flowers in the Sunshine"
by Sweet Jane's Quilting and Design,
which we will be getting at the Stitchin' Post very soon!
By the way~
Did I mention that I will be teaching a new Club this fall?
Can you guess what it could possibly be?
You'll find out in August
when the new Fall/Winter Class Schedule arrives!
I hope you will join me...

Continued confessions of a charm pack junkie~
Here is my new Charm Squares Baby Quilt...
Beautiful machine quilting was done by Sally B. of Sisters.
I used a Stitchin' Post Custom Cut Charm Pack "Summertime", which Jackie cut before Quilt Show and we sold out...I begged her to cut it again (now that my store sample is done!) So she cut another round of Summertime. There are a few fabrics that are different this time around, but honestly, I like round 2 better! I think you will too!
This quilt is super simple and comes together quickly if you need a baby gift in a hurry!
You only need 38 charm squares
5/8 yard fabric for sashing
1 1/4 yard fabric for backing and
3/8 yard fabric for binding
