These quilt patterns will be new later this week at Quilters Warehouse.                                  

Card Tricks All Around is a twist on the traditional ‘card trick’ block.  Almost all quilts change with the fabric choices you make, but this one looks like it would change dramatically.   It looks very pleasing with the monochromatic fabrics – even more closely matched fabrics would be interesting.  Wildly different colors would change the look entirely.  How about a wall hanging for a new college student in the school’s colors?

The Blue Cross Quilt will use up your scraps, or it works great with Jelly Rolls.  (mmm, brb, gotta refill the coffee n get a jelly donut)  Wouldn’t it be fun too make this quilt for that same college student with the same college colors.  It would be the perfect throw for the end of the bed, and it’d be great to take along to the football games.  A little piece of home while they are away.

Any new babies expected, or already here?  Baby Elephant Walk would make a great gift.  And no need to choose a pink or blue color scheme.  It’s works for either.  This is a paper pieced pattern – looks like a good one to learn with – you’ll get practice with the same shape.  The warning says it could be addictive!

Ready to learn a new technique? You’ll learn to thead paint with Painted Wreath.  You can test run all those decorative stitches on your sewing machine that you haven’t tried yet.  You can also add embellishments. Go for it!!  If you like it this pattern could be used to make a wreath for each season.

 There’ll be more new items later this week… USB wallet (sounds cute), a Carol Hopkin’s mini- quilt for your scraps, a table runner, and more. Enjoy!

… and there’s an elephant chasing them!

9 Lives is a wild looking quilt designed by Phil & Lisa Girard of Tivoli Quilt Creations. You’ll be able to use up even your tiniest scraps. Make a few single cats and they’d make an interesting grouping on the wall in a child’s room. Make all nine cats and you’ll have a fun lap quilt. Just the kind that a child would love to look at and “explore” when they are having some quiet time or laying down for a nap. It’d be fun to make up names for each of the “crazy cats.”

But look out… here comes the elephant! This wall hanging is done in reverse applique but no need to do any of it by hand. Quite a dramatic looking elephant.

Wonder what she’d look like with painted toenails?

Enough with the animals – here’s a Christmas project. Christmas Express is an advent calender. Each car on the train, including the locomotive, is a pocket ready to hold a small surprise for the countdown. If you have any scraps left after making those cats, they’ll be put to good use here.

Now that your scraps are used up, grab a bunch of fat quarters and here’s a simple quilt… Reversible Lap Quilt should make up quick. There are even quilting designs included so there’ll be no hesitation to finish while you try to figure out what’s the “best” way to quilt the project.

Lots of choices for the two sides: light/dark, winter/summer, spring/fall, bold/muted, cats/dogs… hey, who let the animals back in?!

Next, for a challenge and a stunning finish, try Serpentine. Again, with the scraps. Designers Phil & Lisa Girard say it’s not as hard as it looks, but they agree, it’s stunning.

These should keep you busy for a while, but they are just a few of the many, varied designs by our featured designer, Trivoli Quilt Creations. There are also a few more advent calendars, tote bags, full size quilts, and more. Check out all of their projects and all of the other designer’s quilt patterns at QuiltersWarehouse.

New this week at QuiltersWarehouse is quite a variety of patterns. . . applique, paper foundation, punchneedle, pieced, wallhangings, baby quilts, lap quilts, a table runner, a full size quilt and a book for Moda’s Layer Cakes.

This Stars and Stripes Runner is a paper foundation pattern. Looks great this way, but you could use Christmas fabrics too and make a holiday decoration.

And while you are in a holiday sewing mood, here’s Snow Globe, a needle punch project. It finishes 3″ x 3″ and would make a great gift. Make several! Cools you off just looking at it, doesn’t it?

Have you sampled any layer cakes yet? They do look delicious and now here’s a book with 8 patterns especially for layer cakes. It’s The Sweet Life from Anka’s Treasures. The patterns were designed by Heather Mulder and sweetness is promised.

3 Little Baskets from Quilted Closet is a reverse applique wallhanging. This is a fun, fast and easy project. Use all the same fabrics for the baskets or three different, coordinating fabrics. Do the same with the backgrounds. DIfferents threads, the same… the variations are endless.

And for a pieced pattern… Triple Expresso – Hop, Skip & Jump. It’s just what the name suggests and more! Three blocks, three different layouts for three different looks. Make any size from crib to King.

There are lots more new patterns this week. Check them all out at QuiltersWarehouse.com.
