July 14, 2009

cellphonemainI found this cute cell phone bag pattern on the C & T Publishing website.

Cell Phone Pattern

I especially like the little loop at the top that you can use to hook to your purse.  I already use a clip for my keys so I like the idea.

If any of you make one,  I’d love it if you’d send me some photos to post.

What do you think?  Isn’t it cute?

Village Garden: Free Block of the Month Pattern

January 22, 2009

vgardenedit400

My Quilt Village is offering a free block of the month pattern.   It’s called Village Garden  and it’s designed by Karen Montgomery.  It’s a charming little quilt with both pieced and applique blocks.  If the “a” word freaks you out, you could always substitute other pieced blocks for those.  

You only need 2 1/4 yards of  background fabric and a bunch of fat quarters or scraps from your stash.  It looks great in 30’s fabrics or whimsical brights.

I saw a sample of this quilt at Quilted Treasures, one of my local quilt shops.  I thought it was charming.  It seemed like the perfect quilt for the winter doldrums – just right to bring on spring fever.
