Ben's charm is the Pincushion!



Last year, at Moda Club, we featured a different pincushion each month.  This pincushion, from Moda Bakeshop, uses just two 2.5" strips.  Jelly Roll Version of the Giant Pincushion.

You will need to scroll down a few pages to find the jelly roll version.

At Ben's all fabric, yarn and sewing notions (thread, zippers, rulers, etc)

will be 20% off all week for passport holders.

Linda, made this jelly roll friendly quilt.  It's called Little Rays of Sunshine.

Instructions are free at Moda Bakeshop.

This quilt is made with one jelly roll, 2 1/2 yards of coordinating fabric, and 1/2 yard for binding.

It measures 62" X 70", when completed, and uses the 60 degree ruler.

Be sure to check out this Simple Table Runner by A Quilting Life.

More links tomorrow. . .

December Moda Club 2012

The last pincusion for this year was presented.  It's Laundry Baskets Quilt's,

Friendship Spool Pincushion

 

 

Our Granny Along will continue through March.  For those of you who participate, we will have a door prize drawing then.  One entry for each "Granny Square" you use.



 

 

As we look toward the New Year, I am looking for club members to make one block for this quilt that I'd like to hang in our club room.  At the end of 2013, we will have a drawing for it.  Anyone who contributes a block, will get their name in the drawing.  It will be up for display all year, for us to enjoy.  I hope you will join in the fun.  I will have some baggies with spool pieces and background pre-cut for you.  You will need to supply the scraps for the "thread" on your spool.  Please turn your block in at the January meeting or drop it off at the shop.  Due to the Holidays, we will extend this project into next month.  So don't worry if you missed getting background strips...I have them for you

 

 

New Snap Tote

 

 

 

I'm looking forward to hosting our first "Old Bag's" Group, on January 5th.  There are only 15 seats for this group.  You will need to purchase the pattern, bring your materials, and sewing machine.  There is no fee for the day.  It is not going to be run like a class, but more like a retreat day where we will all be working on the same project.  Stop by the shop to sign up.

October Moda

Our next meeting date has been changed to the 4th Wednesday, November 28, due to Thanksgiving,  and the busy preparations the day before.

 

 

 

 

The Granny Along Challenge continues.....I made 4 new blocks...

 

 

Our AnnaMary completed her top!

She used 1.5" sashing and 4" borders

 

 

AnnaMary's quilt has inspired a few more people to join in on the fun.  For every granny square you use in your project, you may put your name in a drawing at our March meeting. 

 So, join in and use up those scraps! 

 

 

AnnaMary and I had alot of fun dressing up these canvas totes with some Fall appeal.

Pincushion from Moda Bakesop

This month's pincushion is another option from the one we showed in September. 
This version is made using 2.5" strips of fabric. 

Completed Christmas Tree Pants are beginning to show up.  This challenge wraps up in November.

 



Great job Brenda and Shirley! 



Jane shared her version of the Moda Bakeshop's Giant Pincushion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tankini - Pattern by Terry Atkinson    (Terry Ann blogs about her pattern.)  Linda and I made the various sizes for you to see in person.  It's called Tankini, because the smallest version fits the top of the toilet tank!   Gotta love it!  This is a very fun table topper to make.  The two smaller sizes can be made with 3 fat quaters.  She even has instructions for quilting the topper.

 

 

 

 

The final step of the sew along for Christmas Tree Pants.   In November, we'll get a group photo of those who participated and have a door prize drawing.    This still gives you plenty of time to join in the fun.  The Happy Zombie is a favorite blogger of mine, and Sew Mama Sew is a wonderful source of all kinds of things to sew and make.  This was a wonderful joint venture for them both.

 

 

 

 

  

Our latest challenge is the Granny Along!  This block is meant to look like a crocheted Granny Square.   I hope you will join along in the fun as we use up our scraps.  This would be a good opportunity for you to make a Charity Quilt or a quilt for someone special to you.  This challenge will run through March of 2013.  Granny Square Quilt Block Tutorial.

 

 

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!

Christmas in July

Some how it seems wrong to be talking about Christmas, when it is only July...But, those of us that love to quilt, sew and knit, need time to put these labors of love together.  Which means, we need to be starting these projects now.

We've been featuring a different pincushion each month. 

Very nice tutorial at Moda Bakeshop for this Cathedral Window Pincushion.

What a great way to start getting organized  for Christmas!
