Brad is the fabric buyer and has made arrangements to buy Homespun fabric by the yard from Dunroven! Â That’s right – you can now get the same quality of fabric in their towels and linens for all of your projects! Â And, it is reasonably priced!
You can even see the weave of these fabrics! Â Visit Checkerdist.com to see a full selection of these fabrics. Â Just click on the fabrics tab – and go to Dunroven. Â http://www.checkerdist.com/ax_commerce/shp_browse_L4_fabrics.cfm?collectionID=1746&search=1
This is a great choice for curtains, chair pads, and your favorite rag quilts. Â For those of you who have joined the Accuquilt craze, they have a special shape that even snips the edges of the squares for you! Â Just cut them out – and sew inside the “snips”.
The Go – Retail $349.00 Item #ACQ55100
What a great time to re-visit these popular projects.  This die pre-cuts the 3/4″ long fringe edges with a perfect 1/4″ wide fringe.  Simply insert a  6 1/2″ square of batting between two cut squares and sew with a 1″ seam allowance.
Item #ACQ55013 Â Retail $49.99
And remember – these projects are all quilt as you go – so they are a great way to use up scraps of batting and don’t need to be sent to a machine quilter! Â Try one of these great patterns:
Item #SB122 Â Retail $7.00
Item #HP212 Â Retail $7.50
Item #GE1041 Â Retail $8.00
These quilts are great first projects for anyone – and have a masculine look that makes them perfect for those men in your life! Â Why not choose homespuns in their favorite team’s colors and whip one up for Christmas? Â They are fast, fun and easy.
