The PERFECT gift for a quilter!

 What to get a fellow quilter for Christmas? ...well, we thought about what would be useful and still make said quilter "oooohhh and ahhhh?" Then we thought about how so many of you have told us that you love to attend our retreats...you just don't like hauling the stuff...so we thought we would show you a few useful patterns that are great for hauling rulers, fabrics, notions, etc to and from our quilt retreats, your sit and stitches, you guild meetings, etc

So first up is a tote called Diamond Island Tote. It is a jelly roll friendly pattern - we like the example with white strips and then a fun colorful fabric line for the opposing strips. We have white, black, red, and some other basic jelly roll colors to pick from for the solid strips.We also included a bunch of pictures of all the jelly rolls we have in stock - we put our best sellers in here so you can rest assured whichever jelly roll you pick, your fellow quilter is sure to love it!

The second pattern we thought would be a great quilter gift is the Carry Me Bag pattern. What we love about this particular tote is that it is designed to carry rulers to and from quilt retreats and classes! The tote is only 7 inches high but is 18 inches long! This means you can fit some necessities in here that are normally awkward - I mean how not fun is it to carry around rulers! Now it is a piece of cake!! And wait for it...it gets even better! One Honey Bun makes THREE bags! This is super budget friendly, fast to make, and perfect if you have several quilters on your gift list! (...maybe you should make one for yourself, too!)


 Here are a few of the lines of fabric we feature in Honey Buns and/or Jelly Rolls...click HERE to go to our Pre-Cut page on our website!











Goodness that is a lot of fabric to pick from! ...and now instead of going back to work in the store we all want to make the Carry Me Bag for our quilt retreat and Judy Niemeyer classes coming up in January and February!!

Happy Quilting,
QBTB
