"Lorraine"; more "Maple Island"; "Gradations"; Show and Tell; "Farm Girls" and free fats

We were blessed with more fabric this week (the big brown truck dropped off seven boxes in one day). 

"Lorraine" by American Jane for Moda is in the hood! 
These prints are classified as 1930's but we'll let you be the judge!  

We have the entire collection of this line and can't wait to make something yummy with these prints! 

Will it be an apron, curtains, pot holders, a tote bag, or quilt top?  

three prints of "Lorraine" by American Jane: red, blue and white 

five colorways of "Lorraine": red, navy, blue, yellow and white 

five companion prints of "Lorraine":  red, navy, green, blue and yellow 


great border prints of "Lorraine":  red, multi and navy.

This "Hunter Green" 108" backing came in this week. This would be great backing for a fall themed project.

We've fallen in love with "Gradations" by Northcott. The strips sets of "Robin's Egg" and a new pattern using "Gradations" came in this week. YIPPEE!!

We've fallen in love with "Gradations".  We ripped open two charm packs of different colorways yesterday after "Farm Girls" to see what we could come up with.  

Sharon and Dorothy made pinwheels using the prints from both packs and we love the results.

Pinwheels are super simple to make and so versatile. I see a tote bag in the very near future.

Cheryl M. brought in this adorable baby quilt for "Show and Tell" on Wednesday.  

She recently became owned by a long arm quilting machine so, she used 'old trucks' to quilt this adorable baby quilt.  

Thanks, Cheryl for sharing this with us.  We're sure the little guy will love it too!

Sandy S. also brought in a baby quilt she made for a co-worker's little one.  Ethan should be arriving very soon. 

Sandy used her embroidery machine to embroider his name on the front of this adorable quilt.  

How cute is this?  Thanks, Sandy, for letting us see your latest creation!

Yesterday's "Show and Tell" was fabulous.  Pat and Linda brought in projects they recently finished and wanted to share with us. 

Pat recently finished this machine applique quilt consisting of a zillion different flowers.  Pat chose a "Lady Slipper Lodge" print for the inner border. 

This is a huge quilt.  We almost didn't have enough room to display it for the picture.

Thanks, Linda for sharing this with us.  We love it!

The "Farm Girls Vintage" club had it's first ever sew-in yesterday.  Not all "Farm Girls" were able to attend but, we made the best of it!  

Vicki, Dorothy and Sharon made the block on page 62 of this fabulous book.  Shirley spent the day working on a different project.
