Stepping Outside of the Box

Stepping Outside of the Box

Providing the unexpected is Carmen's forte. The inside of her Victorian-home shop is set up like a gallery-she mixes trendy with traditional and displays vintage reproduction patterns next to modern samples. "We have a more contemporary flair-more modern-and that seems to be popular," Carmen says.

Sweep Your Stitching

Sweep Your Stitching

In Materials Matters, stippling and echo quilting accent the triangle-squares of each block and the Flying Geese in the inner border. A large floral motif is machine-stitched in each block. A contrasting green thread is used in a sweeping leaf design in each solid cream setting and corner triangle.

Material Matters Color Option

Material Matters Color Option

Welcome autumn with this variation on Material Matters, a four-block table topper made with the Thimbleberries' Harvest Eve collection for RJR Fabrics. This project would make a wonderful wedding or housewarming gift. The pieces are large and the construction is simple enough that a beginner could stitch it up in no time.
