This handy tote leaves your hands free so you can better evaluate the produce at the farmer's market.
Designed with Boro cloth in mind, you can customize it with other fabrics, too. Add some running stitch Sashiko or actual Boro patchwork to yours and make it a one of kind.

Quick Quilt Club
Learn to be a Jack (or Jill) of Diamonds
|
Though it may be a hard, hard card to find, you can win new skills in this class.
The 60 degree diamond -- more accurately, a rhombus -- is the basis for many quilt blocks. You can make cubes, stars, optical illusions and so much more. Literally HUNDREDS of quilt patterns are based on this cut.
You'll master both tools and techniques in this series with Cindy. Choose from one of the two session classes or the all day class on the 22nd. As with all classes, you'll save on purchases; join the Quick Quilts Club and you'll save 20 percent.

Optional: If you wear or bring leggings and a t-shirt to the class, that will help in fitting the pinafore as you go, and you'll be able to wear your fabulous new outfit out the door!

Jacquie Gering's
New Favorite
Solid Color Fabric
|
Jacquie Gering announced at Spring Quilt Market that she's now using Paintbox Solids from Paintbrush Studios, exclusively.
She prefers the consistency of the dye lots, the resistance to fraying and the hand.
We've brought in her favorite colors, a curated collection that shows the depth of color from this manufacturer.
Compare the hand to the sample of the brand she used to use (not Moda Bella solids . . .) and you'll know why.
This pattern from Jacquie is free, here:
