Kristin from The Crafty Quilter’s Closet has put together a great tutorial to make these nesting fabric baskets. Aren’t they just ADORABLE!!

Download the tutorial! Scroll to the bottom of the page, it’s a PDF file that you can save to your computer or print out to take to your sewing room.

I want a set for my sewing studio, and I think both Lucy and Alice, my nieces, will need sets too for Christmas. They’d make a great gift for your quilting friends as well. Perfect for storing fabric scraps.

Ryan Walsh of I’m Just A Guy Who Quilts, put together a fabulous tutorial for this mini quilt.

It’s called Bundles of Joy Quilt and finishes at 24″ x 28″. You’ll need one charm pack and one yard of coordinating fabric. Lots of step-by-step pictures to walk you through how to put this mini quilt together.

I’m thinking to make a larger version for myself to have in my living room. I have a Butterfly Garden layer cake just calling out to me to be used.

The theme for this week’s virtual quilt contest is Picnics. The quilts are wonderful summery inspiration. Thanks to everyone that entered.

Two winners of this week’s contest will each win a $25 gift certificate to use in Sheree’s Alchemy online store.
