Jeni spent several weeks working through the challenges presented by her newest idea. Wait until you see the results! Her newest pattern, “I’ve Got a Secret”, is spectacular. This stitcher’s lap top pillow provides support for your hands as you work, a secret little spot to store your stitching and handwork tools, and is just plain gorgeous! Clever side flaps tuck under the center block that conceal storage pockets on both sides of the pillow.
Jeni offers three different center block options – something to fit everyone’s taste and skill level. Pattern $9.00, Pillow kits which include fabrics for top, center block, backing and ruffle – Whig Rose $27.50, Rose Wreath $29.50, Carpenter’s Wheel $25.50
Kit fabrics are hand selected to be similar to the ones shown on the pattern. (Pattern sold separately.)

Barb quickly stitched together this scrappy style quilt from a set of Heritage charms by Moda, using the new "Oh Sew Charming" pattern. As the pattern designer points out - half the work is already done when using charms. The selection and prep stages are done for you. This piece is made with 40 charms and 1 1/8 yard of background fabric. The instructions include easily understood text and line drawings, as well as, a photo of the quilt made form the new Morris Garden charms (again from Moda!). The four pieced blocks make innovative use of the corners that are usually tossed when using speed-piecing techniques. You will be pleased to find lots of other information included in this small pattern - tips for selecting fabric and batting through quilting and binding. Pattern $4.95

by Edyta Sitar
Edyta Sitar has taken a modern approach to a very traditional looking quilt. Her innovative technique is used to create the tiny points that surround the block centers in Dresden Star. Historic style fabrics grace both the pattern front and out shop sample, but are certainly not the only fabrics that would work (wouldn't’t this quilt be lovely in batiks?!). Edyta includes patterns for the pieces needed to stitch the blocks (alternatively, an acrylic template set is available for those who wish to rotary cut the pieces) and copious directions for block construction. I found that my pieces turned out slightly different in size (maybe a seam allowance issue) but everything worked out well when I modified the size of the center circle ever so slightly. I love this classy quilt - now if I could just find a few minutes to work on quilting it! Pattern $9.00, Template set $5.00

a Cosy Strip Club Pattern
Stepping Stones proves to be a great reason to cut into your favorite 2 ½” strips. The quilt can be made in a scrappy style or a more controlled palette (the shop sample takes a very pastel turn). The inclusion of a single accent fabric down the middle of each row of scrappy squares pulls all the different fabrics together. The pattern offers supply lists and instructions for throw, full and king size quilts. Each column (small, medium and large) is constructed from a strip set that includes background fabrics, varying numbers of print strips and accent fabric. Bona’s quilting really proves to be the crowning touch. She selected a variegated thread and a repeating design that peaks between the rows of squares. This stunning quilt will become the focal point in your room. Pattern $8.00

Janie couldn’t resist the endearing Furry Sweetness pattern. Her deft fabric selections bring the whimsical animals to life. The little critters are machine appliquéd and accented with ric rac and crystals (their sparkly eyes). If you look closely you can make out the superb machine quilting Jane has added as the finishing touch. Pattern $15.00

Summer Trellis is one of Debbi’s favorite shop samples. She used fabrics from the shop and ones from her own studio to make the piece – proving that this design is the perfect batik scrap quilt. The simple cutting and piecing steps, detailed in the pattern, result in a smashing art piece. Pattern $9.00

Quilt Trip Around the World is a current bargello style favorite. We made a daring fabric selection for our 32 ½” x 32 ½” shop sample – Anda Lucia by Patty Young turned out to be an ideal choice! Quarter yard pieces are carefully cut into strips and stitched back together following the clearly illustrated directions. Consider this enjoyable quilt as your next project. Pattern $9.00. We are sorry but the kit is no longer available.
by Janice Pope
This purse has all the necessary options – great size and shape, plenty of pockets, perfect handle length and reversible to boot! Janice Pope named her design the Two Hour Tulip Purse, but I must be honest – you may be able to construct your second or third version in two hours, but my first took a bit longer. I may have lost time carefully reading the instructions and selecting fabrics (but those really are important steps!). Janice provides patterns for four different sizes from petite to jumbo. My sample is the standard size – in my case perfect for everyday use. The shop batik section is currently bursting at the seams – I know you’ll be able to find several fabrics perfect for your own Tulip Purses. Pattern $12.00

Penny Sturges enjoyed such success with her Charm Party Tote that she followed it up with a smaller version. The mini Charmer is constructed in much the same way as the original. A collection of charm squares (this time only 17 are needed!) are stitched together for the bag body, ironed to Pellon Fusible Fleece and accented with a charming pocket. Pockets are also added to the lining and then the bag is completed with unique handles. New pattern - Mini Charmer $9.00, original pattern – Charm Party Tote $9.00
Oh my gosh, Penny Sturges has done it yet again! Her Bow Tucks Tote has quickly become a shop staple. Debbie enjoys constructing them almost as much as she likes selecting fabrics for each new version. At 15” x 11” x 5” deep it is a very versatile bag - Debbie carries her lunch in one – so much more stylish than a bag! Pockets on both the outside and inside will help you stay organized. Every time Debbie makes a new one I want to stitch one too – or at least get her to share it with all of you for just a bit! Pattern $9.00
by Atkinson Designs
Our Tag Along Tote model sure gets attention. The lively Michael Miller fabrics were the perfect choice for this petite bag. It is easy to purchase fabrics to make this one – only three fat quarters required. We chose to add the top zipper, a pattern option, to our display bag (after putting in the zipper I decided a magnetic snap may have been easier). Terry pieces the front in an interesting manner – you’ll have to trust her directions and just stitch along – it turns out great. Pattern $8.00
from Miss Rosies Quilt Co.
Pincushions continue to be all the rage - Judy stitched one of the most adorable ones we have on display. The watermelon from Fruit Salad, by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, proved to be a great way to use up bits and pieces from the historic pink and brown fabric sections. Simple pieces are cut, stitched, stuffed and then highlighted by a bit of hand stitching. Carrie writes very complete, well-illustrated directions - you are certain to enjoy the process - why not make them as holiday gifts?
(Watermelon kit includes fabrics similar to those Judy has used for our watermelon pincushion sample) Pattern sold separately

Barb and her Mom stitched the adorable Cottage Garden Baskets pillow we have in the shop. Pastel fabrics, threads and a bit of felted wool combine in this exquisite accent piece. I love the sweet embroidery motif line drawings Meg Hawkey has included in her directions for this project. You can tell which stitches to use, in most cases, just by looking at the full-scale pattern. If you like to stitch everything just like the original you will be pleased to find DMC floss numbers and stitching keys for each basket. Pattern $8.00
by Valorie Wells
Valorie Wells is a young pattern designer with an eye for color. Her Animal Friends toys make cheerful accents when stitched in the aqua and green prints Jill chose. Simple shapes are enhanced with a bit of stitchery and trim – the long legs and necks require careful stuffing technique, but you are sure to be pleased with the end result. Pattern $10.95
