August Freebie Link:   Placemats

 



A look back at some previous August links to free patterns:

 

Witches Shoes

 

Spiders and Webs Quilt

 

Pumpkin Pincushion

 

 

Two Toned Gift Bags in Three Sizes

 

Don't let your table down.....Bring along some Show & Tell...

It's my favorite part of Moda Club!

 

P.S.  If you are a knitter, our shelves are loaded

with some beautiful new yarns!

 

 



July Moda Club

It sure was a beautiful day.  So glad to see so many of you!

For those of you out enjoying Summer, this is what we shared.


Flat Iron Travel Case

We had linked this with the reminder post, but seeing it in person...

Tari did use a thermal batting.

 

 

Featured Patterns:

 

Keep the Change, has two inside pockets and a "snap" pocket on the back.  This one, on display at the shop,

is the largest of the three versions in the pattern.

 

 

Night Light, by Villa Rosa

This lap quilt was made with one charm pack and some yardage.

It would be beautiful in batiks!  You could use four charm packs, and make it without borders.  This pattern calls for one charm pack and 1/2 yard of two fabrics (for the four patches).  I added 1/6 yard, for an inner border (cut 1.5 inch), and 1 yard for an outer border (cut 4.5 inches) and binding (cut 2.5 inches)    This would be a great first quilt for a new quilter.  So many options....

 

 

We have received all our Christmas and Halloween fabrics.  

It's way too early to start thinking about those dates,

but not too early to start making some quick projects/gifts.

 

 

Anna Mary, made me this great table runner that,

oh to subtly, says Trick or Treat.

It's a Pieced Tree Pattern, called Frame Up.

 

 

Linda, made all these Oliver + S Bow Hair Ties.

What a wonderful way to use up those scraps!

 

 

You all know how much I like Show & Tell!  It is always so inspiring to see what others are making.   This month, Shari brought in an applique, from something

we had linked back in March.

It is Honey Bunny, from Don't Look Now. 

When you go to this link, you will need to scroll down a bit to find the tutorial.

I have been wanting to make this for some time... Shari whipped up three of them!  It was such a "hit" with all present,

I promised to re-link it.

 

Our next Moda Club Meeting will be on

August 20th. 

Enjoy your Summer!

 



August Moda Club

 

We had lots to share this month!

 

 
 



 

 
Linda, whipped up some kitchen fun for us with this 60's R&R Apron.
             

It's reversible!

The evening group got to see some pumpkin smiles that Sandy, embroidered for us.

(Pattern available at the shop.) 

 

Lazy Girl has come out with a whole

line of interfacings. 

Slicker and Stiff Stuff, were used in this sweet tote by Lazy Girl.  (Great instructions with lots of pictures)  Features lots of tips for using their interfacings.

For those of you that fell in love with this fabric,

more is on the way!

 

 

Those of you that attended, got to see our "Not a Mystery" Mystery Quilt.   We passed out step one.  As soon as I finish binding my quilt, I'll post a picture.  (It will also be on display)  I know it's hard to pick fabrics for something you haven't seen yet.   If you keep up with it, monthly, you'll have a completed quilt by the end of November.   Could be a very nice Christmas Present, wedding gift, or something to snuggle under as the cooler weather hits.

 

Our Christmas Challenge continues. 

 

I had linked these cute gift bags in the reminder.   They were so fun to make!  I couldn't stop at just one.....had to make all three sizes!

 

 

 



Thanks for bringing all your Show & Tell!

(You know it's my favorite part.)

 

 

Our next Moda Club will meet on 9/18/13,

Mark you calendars now.

 

Knitting also starts back up again in September.

We will have a 1-3p.m. knitting group and another from 5-7p.m. New yarns continue to arrive!

August Moda

Linda shared with us these cute witch shoes she made using small bits of Halloween fabric.  They can be filled with treats or used to hold silverware.

Teresa was inspired by this Moda Bake Shop Spiders and Webs quilt.

She shared with us two Halloween panels that she had added borders to and quilted.

She left them together, in this unfinished state, to demonstrate how two small projects can be joined with waste cloth to make having them quilted more afforable.  For these two projects, the quilting cost is the same basic fee for one, as it is for both of them joined together!

Anna Mary made these pumpkin pincushions. 

Christmas Tree Pants, from Sew Mama Sews

Step 2 of 3.  So fun to see the participation in this challenge!

Kathy has completed this Primitive Gatherings Christmas Quilt.  She let us have a sneak peak prior to it being quilted and bound.  It's a beauty!  My photography skills are not so great, part of the charm is the embroidered words on this quilt that are barely visible in this picture.  Kits available upon request.

Enjoy what's left of Summer.  See you September 19th!
