Christine Funk has been working on this quilt for a while (maybe a long while 🤣) and she finally finished! I love her use of color and the borders that she added. Christine also changed up some of the blocks to suit her quilt—nicely done! Thank you, Christine, for sharing your quilt with us!

A Squedge 18 Degree Template Tool will go to this week’s lucky winner, Leslie Devaul Emma!
The 18 degree Squedge makes a 16″ finished square (16 1/2″ unfinished) with 20 Squedge pieces. The slots in the tool let you mark precise lines for making the shorter pieces. The longer pieces are used for the corners and the shorter for the inner sides.
Open the packaging and you have another Bonus pattern, a terrific table runner, 22″ x 72″. Yardage amounts for backing and binding are listed here: backing 1 1/4 yd, binding is 1/2 yd. And it’s stash friendly!

We are giving this week’s winner, christineroutzahn, something to help with prep work for Halloween decorating!
As you can see, the Halloween Mix is an assortment of spooky and autumn themed sequins in a variety of colors and sizes. Included are jack o’lanterns, skulls, bats, bones, and more. Obviously, they are the perfect embellishment for a Halloween project. But they can be added to pillows, clothing, table runners, etc. to make them more “seasonal”.
We carry individual colors and color blends, as well as interesting shapes and mixtures. Click here to check out all our sequins and beads.
