NEW BOOKS & PATTERNS

Just in time for September sewing... I know I want to work on every project in this book! This book features 15 projects including 9 table runners, place mats, centerpieces and chair covers. Covering Halloween, Autumn, Christmas and Winter.

We have a large group of customers who LOVE chickens. This new pattern is for you! Chickens includes instructions to make a Small quilt 41 x 45 1/2", a Medium Quilt 54" x 60", and a Large quilt 67" x 74 1/2". The pattern is only made using conventional simple piecing techniques, no templates, or paper piecing. The pattern uses fat quarters for the main fabrics.

Be ready for all of your upcoming holiday meals and potlucks with this fun potluck tote. A wire frame makes it easy to carry your goodies. Or simply use yours to display your yummy dish on the table. Three sizes: Casserole 10" x 14" x 2.5", Side Dish 10" x 10" x 2.5", and Bread Tray 6.5" x 14" x 2.5".

Treat all the Littles in your life with this fun Count Down To Halloween Calendar. Fill the pockets with candy, trinkets, incentives, and more. This project starts with a printed panel.... so very easy and quick to put together!

Once you are done with your Count Down To Halloween Calendar, move onto these cute trick-or-treat bags. These also are a printed panel, so you have plenty of time to make one or several of these for the kiddos in your life!
