The gnome craze continues and so we’ve got another “gnome-y” project for you. This mini wall quilt kit includes all the fabrics,wool, batting, backing, embellishments, and embroidery floss that you need to create this adorable trio of gnomes.

Finished size: 13" x 15"

A stylish purse pattern that pairs excellently with vinyl or cork, but you can use cotton, canvas, upholstery fabric and other fabrics too! The pattern offers 3 different size options- a purse size, regular bag size, and large bag size. You can use the same fabric for the entire exterior, or change it up and use a different print along the bottom of the bag. 

A small project for you to display at Thanksgiving when your home is filled with guests. Finished size is 16” x 20”, so you could make one to hang up or make several for decorative placemats. It also features a pattern for a silverware holder that you could make to match! 

An easy to make lap size pattern that can be made using 1 Layer Cake + binding + backing. It could easily be made into a Christmas quilt to drape over your couch this holiday season, but it would also look good in whatever color Layer Cake you fancy. Finished size: 51” x 60”.

Simple, stylish and fun to make, this pattern creates your very own dress or blouse. The Fringe Dress can be made in sizes 0-30, and requires an intermediate skill level to make it. It’s the perfect length for summer, but could be paired with a pair of leggings for fall and winter.

Use the same quilt pattern to make 4 different quilts- one made up of solids for summer , a scrappy spring design, a vintage Halloween look, and a classic Christmas quilt. The design features a beautiful Medallion in the center, surrounded by a variety of 6” quilt blocks. These designs were created with Fig Tree fabrics in mind, but you could choose your own color variations to make it your own.

The Alaska Ruler from Creative Grids was designed by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts. This ruler allows you to cut a bunch of 45 degree shapes, while using only one ruler. I’m going to attach a video of Ms. Sitar explaining her ruler and how to use it, below. This Youtube video that can be found on Creative Grids website is really informative and will show you the many ways in which this ruler can be used. 

A beautiful design that features the new Sister Bay collection from 3 Sisters on the front cover, the Blue Smoke pattern uses half square triangles and other piecing techniques. It can be made into a lap, twin, or queen size. The fabric collection, Sister Bay, is scheduled to arrive towards the end of this year or the first of next year.
