New Clothesline Kits from The Mountain Thread Company

ROUND BOWL
This finished basket is roomy enough for keys, phone, and other pocket treasures – but also works for organizing a tabletop, desk space, craft room, bedside table, shelf, child’s room, spare room, and more.

You can vary the dimensions of the project, but the standard round bowl measures about 7-8” across and 2.5-3” tall. Make it even more unique by using up fabric scraps from old projects! This is a sewing machine project. Your sewing machine will need a zigzag stitch and be able to handle sewing something like jeans. 50wt high quality thread is also highly recommended. This is an introductory basket project for sewists who are confident in steps like changing the machine needle, adjusting stitch length and width, and pivoting. This is a Do It Yourself Kit—no finished products are included.

OVAL BASKETS

With this kit, you can make two small organizing trays. Perfect for sunglasses, remotes, keys, odds and ends, and so much more! Fun hint: it also works as a great holder for another 5/16″ kit project “Set of 6 Coasters”. Dimensions can vary by project, but should measure around 5.5×7” and 1.5” deep.

MUG RUGS

Try something fun and new with this set. These mug rugs are unique, durable, washable, beautiful – and, best of all – made by you! The kit makes three ready to use 6-inch square mug rugs, the perfect size placement for your coffee or tea plus a little treat. 

COASTERS

These coasters are unique, durable, washable, beautiful – and, best of all – made by you! Makes six 4-inch ready to use coasters. These also sit well in the 5/16″” Oval Tray shown above.

All of these kits are due to arrive next month in plenty of time to schedule a Fall class!

Doodle your own quilt blocks using the Quilt Doodle Pad! This 4″ x 6″ notepad is designed with quilt block doodles in mind, and with 50 sheets per pad, you can make a lot of doodles!

Design both simple and complex quilt blocks with this fun notepad. Each page has a quilt block grid for designing 12″ finished quilt blocks. With lines representing inch-wide segments, as well as half-inch segments, you can easily draw and color in your own quilt blocks.

The reference dots make it easy to design blocks without having to count individual squares.

Nine Carat Quilt by Sarah Fulks

All you need is ten fat quarters and a favorite background fabric to create this stunning quilt. It is easier than you think! Piece large nine-patches together. The magic happens when you sub-cut them and sew them back together in a different configuration.

The instructions are written for an over-sized throw but you can add or delete blocks to make the quilt of your dreams. You may even learn a new technique along the way.

Purr-sonality by Deb Heatherly

Just five 10-inch and five 5-inch squares are needed to make the blocks in this quilt. What a great way to learn how to use the Creative Grids Cat’s Cradle Tool. The blocks are created with squares and rectangles and then trimmed to size. The trimming creates the triangles, it’s magic!

Applique a cat in the corner or use holiday themed fabric and applique leaves, holly, snowflakes, pumpkins…the possibilities are endless. You won’t be able to just make one! The Cat’s Cradle Tool is required to make the pattern.

Flexible Floe Runner by Jill Blair

Flexible Floe Runner is made from one charm pack or (36) 5″ squares. The cover runner features neutrals for a modern look. But I would love to see it in holiday fabrics. Pumpkins or snowflakes anyone?

This is the perfect group or beginner project. Since the blocks are all trimmed to the same size AFTER the angled seams are sewn, all the blocks are the same size. A little fudge factor built into a project is always a good thing! The Creative Grids Straight Out Of Line Tool is required.

The Creative Grids 4-1/2 inch square and the Folded Corner Clipper are recommended.

All of these patterns are in stock now.

The Pattern Basket Welcomes Fall

Spooky Patch is a 33-1/2″ by 35-3/4″ pieced wall hanging or table topper. What a great backdrop to that bowl of treats!

Autumn Blooms is a perfect adaptation of coneflowers. The flower pots are made in two sizes to add dimension and depth to the quilt. At 49-3/4″ by 54″, this pieced quilt would be a great throw, or add borders or more blocks for a larger version.

New from Sue Spargo

This 36.5″ x 42.5″ quilt features wool appliqué, layering and embroidery.

Mushrooms are fascinating organisms deeply ingrained in our subconscious, with their mycelium extending into folklore, medicine, and cuisine. The kingdom of fungi is vast and varied, with some spores being so small they aren’t visible under a microscope. The largest organism on Earth is a mushroom, whose mycelium spans over 2,200 acres in eastern Oregon. Truffle Duffel explores their diverse forms and vast textures by expertly layering hand dyed wools, velvets, and cotton fabrics. Extensive background appliqué and embroidery creates a natural woodland where surprises that lurk and shoot through the forest floor will suddenly appear through stitchery. Detailed instructions, clear pattern and stitch diagrams, and the opportunity to learn new techniques such as wool appliqué, layering, cotton appliqué, embroidery, dimensional embroidery, and texture creation make Truffle Duffel an ideal Block of the Month program.

Creative Stitching book (sold separately) is required for embroidery stitch instruction.

The book includes the Truffle Duffel Quilt plus two bonus projects: Tiger Moth Workbox and Toadstool Pinny

The book is due to arrive this month so place your orders now.
