Mystery Quilt part 3

Here is Clue #3 of the Red Rooster Quilts/Country Register Mystery quilt.

Red Rooster Quilts Mystery Quilt Clue #3

From background fabric C cut:
40 – 2 ½” x 4 ½” rectangles
30 – 2 ½” squares

Using the 4 patch rectangle blocks from clue #1 and the 4 patch square blocks from clue #2 and the background fabrics from above, layout your pieces to look like this:

****Ok, an actual block layout should appear here but I can't get it to work. So, you can see the layout on The Ohio Country Register's web site. Go to http://www.ohiocountryregister.com/. Click on the current issue then click on the cover page. Go to page 15 to see the layout. I'll try to figure out how to get my image in here.****

Sew the blocks into rows, then sew the rows together.

Make ten of these blocks. Label them block #3.

New Fabric


Well, here it comes! Some of the new fabric that was ordered at quilt market has started to arrive. Today, we received Kansas Winter by Kansas Troubles Quilts and Moda Fabrics. If you like Kansas Troubles, you'll like this new collection. It's their traditional style. We also have the charm packs, jelly rolls, layer cakes, turnovers and honey buns to go with the fabric. Click on the pictures to get a closer look.
Tomorrow, Worn & Loved II!

Golf Fabric


Since we(Dublin, O) will be hosting the Memorial Golf tournament next week, I thought you might like to see the golf fabrics we have in stock. Wouldn't these make a lovely quilt or office wall hanging for the golfer in your life? How about towel trim, pillowcases or boxer shorts? These would be great Father's Day gifts, too. Go Tiger!

Stone Cottage


Remember the Stone Cottage fabric I mentioned a while back? Here is the quilt we made from this collection. Isn't it wonderful?! The colors are so warm and pretty. It would make a comfy throw with flannel on the back to cuddle under during a cool spring night. The pattern is from the magazine Quilts & More Summer 2009. (Which, by the way, has many wonderful projects, 3 of which we have finished and one we are working on and we have kits for 3 of them.) The pattern is called Creme Brulee and it was designed by Dublin's own Gerri Robinson. The finished size is 61 1/2" square.

We have several kits left and they are $54.95.

Quilt Market

Aaaah...back from Quilt Market. It's a crazy place to go. All the excitement of searching for the latest and greatest new things from patterns, books, notions & fabric, it's all there and then some. I found some cool leather buttons. They are laser cut and embossed. They were using these to embellish purses. They layered them with the large dill wood buttons and they looked fabulous on the purses. Look for those soon in the shop. Then there was all the new fabric.... it's so hard to choose. But, I forced myself:) You'll see more Jo Morton, of course, more civil war, more trendy pottery barn looking fabric, a small line with a butterfly print, Flourish the new Debbie Beaves line, new farmer's market fat quarters (fruits & vegetables), new collection for a cause by Moda and much more! Keep in mind that some of these fabrics will be in the shop soon and some won't be shipping until December. So, if you're looking for something specific, give us a call and we'd be glad to call you when these fabrics arrive.

Stop in the store soon and see all the new patterns and books that I was able to bring back with me. We have the new Jo Morton book in stock and the new Whimsicals book.

I could go on and on..... new wool colors and patterns, new button pins from Just Another Button company that would make great gifts stuck in a hand made pincushion, new Texture Magic by Superior threads. I'll end on that one. You're going to have to stop by and ask us about Texture Magic.
