Finished with your Christmas shopping? Is your pocketbook close to empty? Check out the Bargain Bin at Quilters Warehouse.

You’ll find a variety of items at reduced prices. Some of them are “retired favorites” which means that once they are gone you won’t see them again… the designer has decided not to print these patterns again. So there are limited quantities available of these items.

Mabel Moose is a cute wallhanging. And it is half price! Who says a moose can’t show a feminine side? There a four looks from which to choose – or create your own look. Make several for a grouping of wall hangings.

If you want to make a larger quilt with straight seams only, Pinwheel Parade has directions for three size options: a queen, twin size, or a baby quilt. This quilt is from Tyquilts Designs.

For a smaller quilt, but with more of a challenge, you could try Psychedelic Centipede. A fun looking quilt and the name is fun to say!

Are you looking forward to Spring? The Potting Shed Window will keep your hopes alive as you struggle through the wintry weather. The pattern is for four blocks that are intended to be displayed in an old window. (Good excuse to head for the garage sales.) But you could use a woody looking fabric and sew sashing between the blocks and make the borders of the same fabric. The flowers are really pretty and you can make them as colorful as you want.

Look around and you’ll find a pattern you like and save money too. Of course, full price quilt patterns really don’t cost much. Especially when you think of all you can create with them!

Have you finished all your quilty Christmas gifts? Not yet?! Hurry!!! Only 9 more days ‘til Christmas!

When you do finish, of course you are not really finished…. They need to be wrapped. How often do we sew, sew, sew, and then throw it in a gift bag. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! But, you worked hard and put a lot of yourself into your quilty gifts so wrap them that way. There’s no time like the present to present them in a way that adds to the present (puns intended). Here’s a few suggestions.

Tissue paper always adds a little something extra. Make it the final layer even if you don’t use a box.

Add some ribbon from fabric… perhaps a bit of fabric that matches the gift. Don’t worry about the frayed edges – they’ll add to the whimsy. Or zigzag stitch along the edges and the ribbon will be a bit curly.

Add a button to the ribbon.

Make a little card out of fabric: Cut fabric and paper to the same size. Stitch around the edges. Here’s your chance to use those decorative stitches. Stitch a straight line down the center fold. Write you message inside. Decorate the front if you want.

I was the lucky recipient of these last two. The presentation brought as much pleasure as the gift!

Whatever you do, have fun with it. And when you’re finished treat yourself to a visit to Quilter’s Warehouse and browse the quilt patterns to find your next project.

Have you seen the new Mini Maranda Bag?  It’s purse size with six pockets to help you keep order in there. 

One of our staff created this Christmas version of the Mini Miranda bag. . .

Doesn’t it look great?! 

You can make this purse with our Mini Miranda Christmas Kit.  The staff has a limited number of these kits for only $24.95 which includes what you see in the picture (except for the snowman button) and the original Lazy Girl Designs pattern.

It’s not on the QuiltersWarehouse web site so you’ll have to give us a call at (800) 391-2867 to order your’s today.

We’d love to see what you’ve made.  If you’ve made a quilt from one of the quilt patterns at QuiltersWarehouse, e-mail pictures to us. . . who knows, maybe we’ll post it on our blog or use it on our web site!

This is on my “GOTTA HAVE” list.  I saw this quilt on-line and loved it.  Then I saw it in person – LOVED it. 

The Love is in the Air fabrics were designed by Deb Strain for Moda and she has created another fabulous line.  The colors look so good together.  And the  solid portions have a look almost like they were colored with chalk… very subtle color variations. It adds another pretty element to an already gorgeous fabric.  This quilt is featured in Quiltmaker Jan/Feb 2009 issue.  There you will find directions for making the heart blocks to add to the panel.  The Love is in the Air quilt kit includes the panel and six fat quarters.  There will be enough left over from the fat quarters to make the binding.  And the part of the panel that you cut off will make great labels for future quilts.  You’ll only need to provide the batting and the backing.

Since I started this post, the status of this quilt kit has gone from “I gotta have it!” to “I have it!” – I just couldn’t resist.  I may wait until after the holidays to put this quilt together but in the meantime I can’t help but drool over the fabric.  It’s just so Yummy!  Or, I may get started on it right away and give it as a Chrismas present. Ohhh, it’ll be hard  to give up this beauty.   I may have to buy another kit for myself.

There is something for everyone in the “What’s New This Week” at QuiltersWarehouse. 

If you are partial to pieced quilts, you’ll be mad about Plaid About You.  This simple quilt of nine squares can be made from any fabric of course but the plaid fabrics really make the quilt stand out.  Simple, quick, and stunning.  Finishing at 64″ X 85″ it’s the perfect size to throw over your special someone to say “I’m mad about you!” 

If applique is what you’re wanting to try, Chugging Along is a wall hanging with easy to follow directions.  This quilt would make a perfect new baby gift. You can personalize the gift by adding the baby’s name and birthdate in the border.

If paper piecing is your preference Bella Strella is a two-for-one pattern.  Instructions are included for a table runner and for a wall quilt.  It looks complicated (everyone will be sooo impressed – you too!) but it’s not that hard.   

And who could resist an ice cream quilt?! (Mmm, ice cream, my favorite food group!)  This quilt has a bit of everything… stitchery, piecing, applique.                                     

And wasn’t there mention of Block of the Month quilts?  There are FOUR!!!! of them…Thimbleberries Traditional is a pieced queen size with two color options – Light and Traditional.   Snowman Collector is an appliqued quilt with adorable snowmen.  Playing in the snow has never been so much fun.  Mrs. Potter’s Garden is a 6 month project. You can enjoy the flowers and think spring and summer all winter long as you work on it and summer will be here when you are finished.  And Heart & Home is a quilt that will warm your heart with pretty applique blocks, a beautiful border and gorgeous fabrics of pinks and greens.

There are many more quilt patterns, so when you are taking a break from your quilting browse through them and find your next project.
