Love on the Run-ner

I love this table runner that is simple enough it could be made in an afternoon. Measuring 18” x 74” (without tassels), grab your 2 1/2” strips and follow the enclosed road map to create a quick and easy runner for your Valentine’s Day or wedding. Add self made tassels just for the fun of it! This is a perfect beginner project!

This pattern is due to arrive next month, not in time for this Valentine’s Day but I am getting everything now so I’ll be ahead of the game next year. And, I have several weddings this year. Wouldn’t it be a great shower gift???

Hootie in Log Cabins

Hootie #CLPLDB007 is the latest in a series of wall hangings designed by Lisa DeBord for Cut Loose Press™ that incorporates log cabin and curvy log cabin blocks. What else can I say when you have this level of cuteness!

Wilmington Prints has a complete line of Essential Gems that come in a multitude of colors – which are the perfect pre-cuts to display with these patterns. Most of the blocks are made with 1 1/4″ strips so these 2 1/2″ strips can be cut in half – a great way to get a variety of fabrics in a colorway!

Waddles #CLPLDB004 and Noggins #CLPLDB003 are so adorable, I had to make them both! They are totally done so I can’t wait to hang them this holiday season!

Why not do a class? Demonstrate and teach the traditional courthouse steps and log cabin blocks (if needed) in one class. Follow up with a class on the curvy log cabin. Need a shop sample? Divide the blocks up between your employees. Since they are all done with the trim tools, all of the blocks will be the same size and the finished blocks will go together beautifully. An added bonus – everyone will know how to use the tools!

The Perfect Patterns and Pre-Cuts

Have a Heart is a top-selling pattern that gives instructions for two different sizes. The large (74 x 90) is a perfect throw size for your favorite couple and is made with 2-1/2″ strips. The smaller size (37 x 45) is a great wall hanging or baby quilt and is made with 1-1/2″ strips. Why not personalize it by having the machine quilter quilt in the names of those you love?

Have A Heart

As shop owners, here is the GREAT news! Wilmington Prints makes an entire line of pre-cuts called Essential Gems in multiple sizes in specific color ranges. This quilt takes one package of heart fabric and two packages of background. How easy is that to kit???

2-1/2in Strips Ruby Days 40pcs/bundle, 4 bundles per pack
2-1/2in Strips Sapphire Sky 40pcs/bundle, 4 bundles per pack
2-1/2in Strips Vanilla Cream 40pcs/bundle, 4 bundles per pack
2-1/2in Strips Cookie Dough 40pcs/bundle, 4 bundles per pack

It takes 32 2-1/2″ strips for the hearts and 80 2-1/2″ strips for the background. That means the binding can be sewn from the extra 8 heart strips and the scraps! These packs come in 24 and 40 strips so make sure you order the right size!
