Looking for a cute quilt pattern? Have some scraps and you just don't know what to do with them?

Check out the tutorial and free pattern at Mishka's Playground.

My favorite is this one:

Row by Row Quilts

I have been spending lots of time browsing through Pinterest, Google and other places looking at Row by Row quilts!

I am wishing I had a place to do some sewing. Hopefully, my sewing machines will be out of storage and in a home soon and I can start working on a project!

In the meantime, I will continue to drool and 'Pin' some beautiful quilts.

Want to look for yourself? Here is a good place to start: Cathy Buel's Row x Row board.

If you are really into Row by Row quilts, here is a great place to get started. They even have a free pattern!!! Visit Row by Row Experience!

I also discovered a new Riley Blake line. I love this line of fabric. It would make some awesome Row by Row quilts!!!

Free Pattern

A friend has steered me towards Row by Row quilts. What fun! I have not worked on one, yet, simply because everyone of my sewing machines and all of my supplies are in storage.

Hopefully, I will have access to my 'stuff' soon!

In the meantime, as I was browsing and looking at Row by Row quilts and patterns, I ran across a cute free pattern for a rooster mug rug here on the WestMichQuilter Blog.

 

Enjoy!

New Gadgets and an online Shop Hop

I am constantly amazed by the number of sewing/quilting gadgets and think, "How can someone come up with something else?" ...when they do!

I have so many bobbins with thread that it is often hard to keep up with them all.

I think this latest gadget that I have found is so cool!! I want some!

And...if you have not yet discovered this online shop hop, check it out! I find new goodies almost every month! September's is winding down, but October's Shop Hop will start soon!!!
