There are so many quilt patterns at Quilters Warehouse that you could spend hours browsing and still not see them all.  Hopefully you saw something new here today.

Your Wish List is a handy tool.  And it’s working now!

You must be logged in to use your Wish List.  You don’t have an account?!  It’s easy to sign up.  Just click on Log In at the upper right corner of the page and you’ll see a link for New Members to sign up.

Once you are logged in you can click on the Wish List icon -

You’ll find it right underneath the Shopping Cart icon on each item description page.  One simple click and the item is added.   Add any item you think you might like to have even if you are not ready to purchase.  This will save you time looking for it later.  Your items will be saved for a year.  When you are ready to buy, just one click moves your item from Wish List to your Shopping Cart.

Use Wish List when you are trying to decide between a couple patterns.  Add both patterns to your list and then view your list and you can see both patterns at the same time.  Of course, another option would be to buy both patterns – you can never have too many patterns!

Also great for selecting fabrics for a project.  Just toss in anything you think you might want to use.  Throw in some extras.  Then review your Wish List and you can see all the fabrics together and decide if you like the way they play together.  Add or toss until you are happy.  Then transfer the ones you want to your shopping cart.  You’ll probably find that even though some of the fabrics won’t work for your current project, you really like them.  So keep them on your Wish List and they’ll be there for you when you are ready . . . no searching for them.

Add anything that strikes your fancy whenever you are browsing.  Then when anyone is wondering what you might like for your birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day or ???, you’ll have an answer ready for them!

Go ahead, grab a cup of coffee and try window shopping for quilt patterns.  Have fun!

Get started now on Halloween items and you’ll have a spectacularly spooky holiday.

Thirteen Spooky Ornaments can be used to decorate a “tree” or hang them on a ribbon and make spooky garland. Or scatter them about the room on different tables. These penny rug ornaments finish at 3″ x 4″ and could also be used as party favors.

It’s party time and these Dancing Witches are ready! You’ll use paper piecing and fusible applique to create this wallhanging.  And of course, the witches have a caldron and several cats – wouldn’t be real witches without ‘em. Looks like the witch on a broom is going to crash the party!

This friendly looking witch has her own carved pumpkin.  The pumpkin looks more friendly than scary too.  Straddling Witch has lots of Straddling cousins that you can make.  Keep a spot on a wall for a Straddling wall hanging and change it for each occasion and season.

Everyone needs someone to love.  This whimsical wall hanging shows some Pumpkin Love.  Fusible applique and reverse fusible applique are used to create this 30″ x 40″ project.

Pumpkin Garden is perfect for Halloween but you can use it all fall.  Finishes at 36″ x 36″ so you can hang it on a wall or use it as a table topper.  Just the right size to toss over a little one in a stroller who is out with the older siblings trick-or-treating.

These are just a few of your options.  Check out so many more Halloween patterns at Quilters Warehouse.

Time for Monday Madness – Anything Goes!

An eclectic selection of projects . . .

Stitchin Chicks are chicken pincushions with attitude!

 

Coverall Sam can be an applique design or a doll. Have fun embellishing with laces, a fancy hat brim, a decorated pocket. And his arms can be made 3-D for hugs! Come on, who doesn’t need a hug?!

Up & Down Memory Lane is a fast and easy quilt that finishes at 58″ square.  A couple easy blocks, some simple applique, borders and done.  It looks great in 1930′s fabrics, doesn’t it? Charm square friendly. 

Fall is coming so we’ll be doing less BBQ-ing and more baking.  Get ready for all that Hot Stuff with these cute oven mitts.   While you’re sewing, make a few extra for gifts.

A churn dash block in yellows and grey or purple florals makes this beautiful Winter Garden.  Don’t you think it would also look great in deep blues and crisp whites?

Kathie has a full line of purses that you can make and they each have a unique PURSEsonality.  All of her purses use the KK handles but you’ll only need one set – they are reuseable – just pop them in the purse you are currently using.

 If you’ve never made one before you could start with My Fall Purse.  Use tone on tone fall color fabrics or go all out and use themed fabrics.  Either way, the leaves and pumpkins will ‘fall’ into place and help you step out in autumn style.

Apple Basket is another fall themed purse. Take it with you when you go apple picking! Or to shop at the Farmer’s Market.

 Then get a head start on your winter PURSEsonality with Snowman In The Woods.   Isn’t he a cheery looking guy?  But we’re not going to see snow for a looooonnnng time.  Really!  Hopefully we can be as cheerful about it when it does come!

That’s just a few of the purses. But there was mention of six-packs.  No, not beer!  Six Pack Mini Quilts are Kathie’s own Kreation.  Six traditional six inch blocks are the focus of these quilts.  They are each surrounded in a Kreative way and tah dah! – you have a charming mini quilt.

Ohio Star has a dramatic, patriotic look to it.  This quilt finishes at 30″ x 42″.

Sister’s Choice would look great in Christmas fabrics.  It’s a perfect little wallhanging size to decorate for the season.
