Carol Doak, the Queen of paper piecing in my mind, has some wonderful free patterns on her web site. The pattern in the photo is called May Flower.

Carol has a blog too, Carol Doak’s Corner.

Here’s a great tutorial on How to Make a Fabric Charging Basket.

Personally, I don’t need a charging basket, but I can always use baskets for other purposes. I plan to make up a bunch of these for gifts. I’ll move up the hole cut out area to make it a handle and add another one on the other side, or come up with something entirely different. Any ideas or suggestions?

Here’s a gorgeous Log Cabin Pincushion Tutorial from Calamity Jane’s Cottage. Make up a bunch at one time for all of your quilting and sewing friends.

Here’s a very easy and quick project, made exciting by the wonderful choice of bright fabrics. Mango Tango finishes at 54.5″ square.

It’s a great pattern to use up coordinated fabric bundles, or make it all scrappy. I love patterns that let me use up my stash!

Aren’t these little gems gorgeous? Carla shows you how to make them in her Fabric Inchie Tutorial.

What are inchies you ask? Inchies are one inch quilts consisting of 3 primary layers: the backing, the middle layer and the top. They are fast and fun to do! You may also make Double Inchies- 2” x 2” and Inchies Plus -1.5” x 1.5” sizes for people who find the one inch size too confining.

Here’s a great gift idea, the Hipster Gripster. The tutorial is well written with lots of detailed photos.

I know my hands would appreciate one. Make up a bunch to have on-hand for those last minute gifts.
