The newest addition to the “Just for Fun!” line is a great little quilt that would work well as a wall hanging or table topper.  It’s got kind of  a masculine feel to it.  I just love the black border print and the graphic feel of the floral design.   It’s La Belle from Northcott. One size 34″ x 34″.

Happy Quilting!

I don’t know where the name for this design came from but it seems to fit.  If you love making scrappy quilts, this pattern is a good one.  I used Civil War Journals by Judie Rothermel from Marcus Fabrics.  What a great line of fabric!  Another one block quilt with a twist…can you tell this is a straight setting?  The trick in is the border.  Three sizes – Topper, Throw and Queen.

If you aren’t a fan of scrappy quilts, this design works great with planned fabric placement.

Happy Quilting!

Tranquility was inspired by the Martindale fabric line from Northcott.  I just love the softness of the colors in these prints.  The pattern is pretty simple with a twist, of course!  You will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is make those pinwheels with the cornerstones.  Three sizes in the pattern – Topper, Throw and Queen.  The new patterns will be on the website soon!

Thanks for visiting and Happy Quilting!

with Sock Hop Box & prizes drawn at 3pm Monday

There has been a HUGE lack of activity here at A Few Loose Threads. But you know as well as I do that things happen, kids come home, deadlines loom and then there’s that overrated thing called sleep :-). But really, I don’t like letting things go so long, it makes it hard to catch up! Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Fall is my most favorite time of year…that “new box of crayons” feeling comes over me each and every September. There is a lot coming up and a lot to look forward to these days!

First of all, QUILT MARKET is this weekend in Houston I’m in Booth 1906 and would love to have all of you shop owners stop by and see what’s new….if you can’t make it, you can see my flyer by clicking HERE.

I am thrilled to be offering a new-to-me Tool called the Corner Cutter.  It was developed and sold by Joanie Weeden until she retired a few years ago.  Joanie has passed this on to me and it is available again!  It will be up on my website after market.  You use it to make those Fast Flying Geese even faster!   Shops….Checker, United Notions and Rubenstein and Ziff all have it in stock.

Happy Quilting!
