Hot Cakes!

Yesterday on Facebook we asked what you all were working on...and you said Christmas Gifts!

So, since we have some adorable fabrics on sale right now we thought we would share a cute pattern that works with them - Hot Cakes!! 

The Arabella line of fabric would be too cute for these pot holders. Here is how we see it working:

Picture this as the chocolate icing

This can be the orange slice on top of the cupcake (the pot holder hanging handle)

and this can be the base (or cake) of the cupcake (where you slide your hand in)!

This pattern is very easy to make, fat quarter friendly, and you can make a bunch of these and keep them ready as gifts during the holiday season. You could even use these as Thanksgiving hostess gift - that is if you somehow get lucky enough to no be the one slaving away all day in the kitchen! 

Oh, and if you are doing a cookie exchange for the holidays - what a great little gift to include with your bags of cookies!

...and this would be a great project to share with your little ones or grandkids when they are over to visit!

Hope you like the ideas!

Happy Quilting,

No More Paper Bags!

Do you remember when we were kids and covered our books with brown paper bags? The best part was coloring the cover - from flowers to writing our name out with our high school sweetheart's last name - we certainly could spice up our book covers!

Well, our kids these days have it good - they can have beautiful fabric book covers! Make the book cover together and create great memories that you will always remember. When you daughter/granddaughter looks back she will remember how special the time was that you both spent together in the sewing room. ...and with Fabric Pens she can still decorate the fabric book cover!



Now, which fabrics to use for the covers? We found two that you may like! The first row is Garden Song and the second row is Arabella. Still not sure which fabric? You are always welcome to visit our website and look around for that perfect piece!






What is our trivia challenge today? Are you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out? Since we colored our old book covers with Crayola Crayons we decided to test your Crayon knowledge! Which of the following was the first year Crayola Crayons were sold?
A.1897
B. 1903
C.1924
D. 1926

Post your guess below on our blog and we will randomly select one of you as the lucky winner of a charm pack!

Enjoy the book covers,
