You have to check out these simply gorgeous Gift Tags made by Jo in NZ. I adore these…the fine detail is outstanding.

While emailing with Jo, she sent me this great tutorial, Quilted Tags by Gail Odegaard as featured in the CQMagOnline.

From the All People Quilt web site is this cute 1930s Doll Quilt. Triangle-squares rotate this way and that to create the overall diamond pattern. A variety of feedsack prints are held together visually by the use of a single solid blue fabric. The finished size is 17-1/2″ x 21″.

I am participating in the Doll Quilt 4 Swap, and have been struggling trying to come up with an idea as my partner didn’t give any clues on what she liked or wanted. Then again, neither did I .. haha! I like this little quilt, but I think the blue border overpowers it way too much. I might try something like this but with a much paler colour for the border. Any ideas?

I don’t know about you, but I seem to find thread all over my apartment. This cute Thread Holder would sure come in handy.

I’d need to make several, one for the sewing area, one for the living room and another for the office.

While not exactly quilting, I love this idea of turning an old pillowcase into a new tote. Great option for thrift-store or garage sale found vintage pillowcases.

Here’s a beautiful, free Daffodils pattern that could make the front of a 20″ square pillow. Detailed instructions on how to complete the block are not provided, but full-sized pattern pieces are.

Stop searching for a spot to rest your needle, scissors, and thread when you’re hand stitching. This small sewing caddy will corral them in style.
