Quilted Gizmos

Back to School Ideas continue with this versatile Key Fob pattern. Kids these days have little gizmos and gadgets and those tend to get lost quite easily. This is an adorable solution for them.
From memory sticks to chap stick to a few dollars cash this Key Fob pattern will help your kids/grandkids keep up with their items. This is also a great gift for someone who is getting their first car, is old enough to stay home alone for the first time and will have their first keys to the house, or is moving into their first apartment. It is just a nice little something to keep with them on their key chain or on their backpack that is stylish and reminds them of their family.





You can make this pattern out of just about any fabric from your stash or from our website. On the website browse through our collections under the Fabric tab - it is fun to look around and see all of the options. You may enjoy making it so much that you make one for yourself!

The fabric we are featuring today is Masquerade by Henry Glass. This contemporary black and white fabric is available by the yard for only $8.99 or in fat quarters for only $2.75!

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,

Two Stylish Back to School Patterns

Going back to school is an important time in every girl's life. We take them shopping for the perfect back to school outfit, their friends practice "hair dos" for the first day back, and of course, they want one of a kind accessories! It is such a fun time for them and also for us as mothers and grandmothers!

Today we share with you a few projects that your daughters/granddaughters can help you make - they could even invite friends over for an afternoon of sewing!

First is this super simple Cash and Carry Bag - it is perfect for an ID, credit card, cash, and the essential lip gloss every young girl must have! This project does involve a zipper and we assure you it is a piece of cake! Want your daughter/granddaughter to try their hand at applique or embroidery? This little bag has a small outside pocket where they could put their initials - a small, easy first project!

The second project we have for you today only takes one jelly roll! That's right - with one jelly roll you can make ALL five bags in the pattern! With all of the adorable, contemporary fabrics we have here at QBTB we are sure your girls will find just what they want!

We have seen many young girls in the store instantly gravitate to Odyssea, Santorini, and Gypsy Rose and there are many more on our website.

Now to win a charm pack...On this blog you will see that you can "follow" the blog...Click to follow our QBTB blog and then comment below this post on the blog itself to let us know you did - you will be automatically entered in the Charm Pack Giveaway! We will pick the name at random first thing on Wednesday morning so stay tuned to see if you are the winner!

We hope you get a chance to enjoy your daughter/granddaughter for a day in the sewing room before they go back to school and cheer-leading and texting and shopping and all those other very important activities!

Fun times,
