This was an interesting month with a new educational consultant – fancy name for a demonstrator.    Here is a cute baby cuddly made. with Minky.   There was a pattern for a frog, pig,  dog and cat.   The head is stuffed with fiberfill so the child can hug it or have the blanket around them.   If I were to make this, I think I’d enlarge it just a bit so it would be usable for a few more months.

Here is the pattern

    She showed several quilts made from the book Simply Fat Quarters which were fast and easy.  

Here are a couple more,   These are made using only fat quarters

One book she had, Sew On the Go. was patterns for making a bag for your cutting board, a bag for your long ruler,  various bags to carry other sewing equipment to a class including this cute bag.

 Interestingly enough this flag is made from cutting tubes according to a pattern and sewn right sides together, then turned and adhered to a backing.   The tubes were stitched on and quilted .    This is easer than it looks.   Oh and if the points don’t come out exactly right in the center, no worries, just embellish with a button.

Along with the  patterns, she showed us various rulers and other gadgets to make our quilting easier and more fun
