Auntie’s Two Bali Patterns

Friday, June 18th, 2010

Have you seen the latest pattern out by Auntie’s Two - the creator of the Bali Bowl patterns? I love the Bali flip flop pattern, Bali Bow to Go!. I’m thinking that the bag and flip flops matched with the Amy Butler Cabo Halter  and Blue Sky Hat  would make a fabulous summer ensemble. Are you stitching up something fun for summer?

Anything But Boring!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

 

 Janice Pope, owner of Anything But Boring dropped by the other day and was kind  enough to personally model two of her best-selling designs, the Schlepping Bag and The Two Hour Tulip purse bouquet. Like all of Janice’s patterns which are made to solve everyday problems, these two are easy to construct and so useful! The Schlepping Bag is large enough for you to take all of your class supplies with you in one bag. Throw everything in and you are ready to go! The tulip purse is ergonomically designed so that it won’t tip over. Since carrying this bag, I haven’t lost a cell phone, wallet or anything else out of my purse, even when it falls on the floor of the car! If you have made either of these, let us know how you liked them!

Lynne Perfect Ten

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

I think this is Lynne’s third “Perfect Ten” quilt! She just proves how much fun the pattern is and how quick it is to put together. Her first Perfect ten was made in batiks and was just gorgeous. She then remade it in soft prints like Nature’s Notebook. This third version shows how versatile the pattern is.

The pattern calls for 10 fat quarter’s and promises you can finish the top in one afternoon. The designer is Swirly Girl Designs who are developing a reputation for graphically appealing patterns. Check out other Swirly Girl patterns at Wish.
