Charmed Living Tote

RBQ #47
15"x x 14"h x 3"d -or-
18"w x 18"h x 6"d
Retail $8.00

A spin-off of my most popular pattern, the Charmed Living Runner, I'd like to introduce the Charmed Living Tote! There are two size options for this bag using either 1 or 2 Charm Packs, large pockets on the inside and plenty of room to fit all sorts of things. The smaller bag is a perfect day-to-day bag while the larger one would be great for the kid's toys or to take to the beach! This bag could easily do double-duty if made with coated fabrics in the lining so all those wet clothes and sand stay in the bag without getting all over the car...


Sciuridae (Cy-ar-day)

Sciuridae was drafted when I wanted a wall hanging for my sewing room. Included in the pattern are instructions for an optional coordinating pillow with some of the leftover Flying Geese. This quilt is the perfect size for either a wall hanging, table topper, or crib quilt and would look lovely in any style of fabric.

 Prima
RBQ #01
94" x 94"
Retail $9.00

This is the design that started it all. This was the design that made me believe I could do this. Made up of interlocking stars, the center of this quilt uses simple, large pieces and only three fabrics which makes a large quilt that's simle enough for a beginner. The edge is uneven leaving every star to finish whole and no two sides are alike. My suggestion is to choose a border and pull your central colors from there, all of the fabrics in the center of my sample are blenders found at any quilt shop. Just four simple blocks make up this intricate looking quilt.


Sonesta
RBQ #78
56" x 80"  Small
68" x 92"  Medium

Retail $9.00

This quilt is a scrap-tastic jumble of fun. Like with any good scrappy inspired quilt, the possibilities of fabric selections are endless. This quilt will lend itself to any color or style of fabric (like my Caribbean inspired version on the cover or my flannel version here). The best part is the fabric can be used straight from your stash or is designed to work with Fat Quarters if you need an excuse to get more fabric. Three different sizes offer and array of options, but either way each size uses the same large yet simple block for quick and easy construction.
