Cute Halloween Table Runner

Today I thought I would share with you this really cute Halloween table runner that we have on display this month!

The pattern is called “Ms. Bindweed’s Boots.”  The table runner’s finished size is 15.5” wide and fits a table up to 76” long with a 15” drop.  The adorable witch’s boots hang off of both ends of the table runner and the pattern gives you the chance to add a lot of charm with the details:

We have the patterns in stock as well as a great selection of Halloween fabrics to make it easy for your to create your own pair of “Ms. Bindweed’s Boots!”

Do you already have a Halloween table runner?  No problem!  There’s a Christmas version of the table runner pattern.  This one is called “Jingle Boots” and we have these in stock on the pattern wall.  So cute!

Thinking of Christmas

If you haven’t been in to the shop lately you may not be aware that right now we have a really nice variety of Christmas fabrics in stock.  And I know some of you hate to hear this, but it’s time to get started on your Christmas sewing!

That deep red is just so lovely. 

Stop by soon and grab everything you’ll need for your Christmas projects!

New Fall Fabrics

Now that Fall is officially here, I’m starting to crave pumpkin everything!  Pumpkin candles, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie….

Our weather will be turning colder this week and it will start to feel like fall outside.  Inside, we have some great new fall flavored fabrics on the shelves. 

This is Fall Fun from  Wilmington Prints – check out those adorable owls.  I also love the two leaf prints on the left.  How ‘bout a new table topper for October? 

Surfin’ Time

Have a surfer dude at your house?  We have some great new surf & beach themed fabrics in stock.  These would be great for shirts, pajama pants, quilts, pillows…

I could totally see any of these being used in a surf themed teen bedroom!

This last one is my favorite and I’m loving this stack:

Triangles and More Triangles

If you’ve been in the shop in the past couple of weeks you have probably noticed one of our newest and most stunning display quilts:

Heather made this delightful quilt using fabrics from the Ashbury Heights line from Riley Blake.  To see more of the fabrics click here.

The rich colors are just so lovely. 

The quilt pattern Heather used is this one from Moda and we have them for sale in the shop.  It’s a great pattern and there’s no reason to be intimidated by the triangles. 

For the quilt back Heather chose a soft and cuddly purple minky for the backing – a popular choice for quilt backs this time of year.  Have you ever tried using minky on a quilt back?  I’ve done several now and they’ve quilted up beautifully with no puckers or other problems.  And my kids love them!  Try a minky backing for your next quilt!

Fall Shop Hop

Is everyone back into the swing of things with school yet?  Here at my house we’re trying to make the most of all of the fun fall activities while still leaving time for homework.  It’s a tough balance.  The good news is that with the fall weather and fall activities comes something else to look forward to!  It’s almost time for the next shop hop!  We’re busy getting ready and making preparations.  Mark it in your calendar now -



There will be a free 12” block and project patterns at every shop along with games, treats and prizes! We can’t wait!

New! Super Hero fabrics from Riley Blake

These are the adorable (and very popular) Super Hero fabrics from Riley Blake.  Each panel has everything to make a cape, mask, belt and cuffs.  We have a sample cape hanging in the shop and the youngsters LOVE it.  

Do you know of a small Super Hero that would love a cape and mask?  These are a quick project that's sure to be well-loved.

Printed Burlap

 Check this stuff out – it’s SO cool! 

I’ve been seeing all sorts of tutorials being pinned on Pinterest about how to print on burlap.  Well now you don’t have to bother with that because we have printed burlap.  Right now we have seven different prints:

damask leaf, scattered dots, Paris/Eiffel Towers, chevrons, rustic fleur de lis, mustaches, and tossed type. 

Need some ideas on how to use these?  We’ve seen table runners, pillows, curtains, wreaths, Christmas stockings….  In fact, we’ve seen so many great ideas, we started a pinterest board just to collect great burlap ideas.  Check it out!  Oh and while you’re there, be sure to follow us!

Halloween!

Time to start thinking about Halloween projects (if you haven’t already!)  We have a variety of Halloween project tutorials and ideas available here on our blog.  See that “Handmade Halloween” button in the sidebar?  Click that and it will link you to any project/tutorial that is Halloween related!

We’ve got our display hutch stacked to the brim with even more Halloween ideas:

How about whipping up some cute Halloween pillow cases for your favorite ghouls and goblins?

We make it easy for you – pillowcase kits are ready to go!

And we have the patterns to make this cute pumpkin wall hanging:

The pattern for this quilt can be found in the book from Adorn It that I wrote about here. 

And see the cute ruffle pillow that is leaning up against the bottom of the quilt?  That is also from the Adorn It pattern book and that pillow uses the leftover fabric from the quilt!  Such a clever design!

Stop by and get inspired!

I’m going to show more of this line later but it’s just too pretty to miss.  I had to give you a sneak peek today!  This is High Street (Moda).  The bolts are out on the shelves and ready for your next gorgeous project.  These fat quarters are seriously calling my name.  I’ll have one of each please!
