Knitting class, quilts, new stuff and "Show and Tell"

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love Saturdays.  Our customers bring in their projects for "Show and Tell" and everyone gets inspired. Yesterday was a constant flow of new projects, completed projects and 'just learning how to" projects!   

Vicki W. brought in this quilt she made using a pattern from "Quilt in A Day" by Eleanor Burns.   Vicki used "Kansas Troubles" fabrics so we (of course) LOVE it. Penny B. in Illinois quilted it.  Great job, Vicki and Penny!  

This is Vicki's quilt she made using a "Quilt in a Day" pattern by Eleanor Burns and Kansas Troubles fabrics.

 Vicki W. also made this top.  It's a wedding present for her nephew using "Hubba Bubba" charm packs.   Vicki was shopping for border fabric so, we'll get more pictures when it's finished!  

Vickie B. brought in her top to share with us.  I can't remember which pattern she used but we love the stair steps affect that gives this quilt it's movement.

This is last week's new fabrics.  I was running behind and didn't get pictures posted last weekend. OOPS! 
Pat and I tried a different way of displaying these to take pictures so, I hope you can see the prints.

It's not lions and tigers and bears, it's coffee cups, flowers and quilts....oh my! 

three bolts of "Out of Africa"  by Robert Kaufman, 

I decided to put some of the new stuff in the chair so you can see the prints a little bit better. 

Old sewing machines and thimbles! Love it!  

If you have the "3 Times the Charm" book, this is the second book in that series, "3 Times the Charm, Book 2".  Now that's a catchy title!  This book has 21 different patterns using charm packs and is a great addition to any quilter's library.  

Three Times the Charm, Book 2.

a new color of Aurifil thread.  We love Aurifil.  It's Egyptian cotton, made in Italy and 1422 yards per spool.  

"Catalina" batik layer cakes, charm packs and jelly rolls.  

Pat and I decided to flip the jelly rolls around to see all the colors.  These are "Catalina" batiks by Moda 

"Snowbird" batiks by Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda:  jelly rolls and charm packs.

"ABC Menagerie" by Abi Hall for Moda: layer cakes, charm packs and jelly rolls 

Pat's made this top using one batik jelly roll and the "Strip Tube Ruler". This top is stunning in person.  

Cathy C's "Scrap Crazy" top she made using "Potluck" fabrics and "Scrap Crazy" templates.  

we finally got Cathy's quilts on the wall.  This one is called "Square Dance" from the Winter 2013 issue of  "Quilting Quickly" magazine.

The last class of "Beginning Knitting" was yesterday. I asked the students to bring their project to the shop for "Show and Tell".  

Janet H. made this cute hat and scarf set and Virginia also decided to make a scarf.  Great job ladies! 

Thanks, Shawn for being a great teacher!  We'll offer this class again in the fall so, stay tuned!

Camera shy Virginia started this red scarf in Shawn's "Beginning Knitting" class.  

Sweetness put Sherry's "Spare Change" top on the wall for all to see!  This uses a charm pack and set of Moda candy charms (mini-charms) with the "Spare Change" ruler by Kansas Troubles.....please remember to remove the brown paper from the ruler before using!  

This is a table runner Cheryl W. made using a Squedge ruler and one batik jelly roll.  We finally found a place to display it and hope you can see all the gorgeous Scolors.  

Sherry L. and her embroidery machine have been very busy!  She made this potholder  ("Death before Decaf") and chap stick holder.  How cute are these!
