Could
it be the cooler weather or perhaps it's the change in foliage that has
us feeling like fall is just around the corner......or maybe it's the
Saturday afternoon college football games.....or the quick glance at the
calendar which shows the official start of fall as Sep 23. Whatever it
is, we are in the mood for stitching and sewing!
This week we
want to share some fun kits from Front Porch Quilts. These are all
super easy and quick to stitch and finish. The designer created them to
be displayed on a "Stix" which is an 8", 10" or 12" metal stand. Stix
are a fun way to add height and dimension to a display. Each is $4.95.
We have also seen these kits finished as pincushions, eyeglass holders
and bowl fillers. They'd make great Christmas gifts for friends and
family.
Each finishes 3 1/2" x 7". Kits include the pattern,
background fabric, wool for applique and backing fabric. Some kits also
contain buttons.
Here's a photo of the Stix so you can visualize how these might be displayed.

Blitzen - $12.95 Darlene's son was quick to point out he actually
should be named Rudolph rather than Blitzen......and we agree. |

| A Winter's Morning - $12.95 |

Pumpkins - $15.95
Stix - $4.95 (sold separately) |

Last but not least, we'd like to share an oldie but goodie kit - Kay
designed Pumpkin Spice several years ago and it continues to be a
customer favorite. Orange fabrics set against black prints create an
eye catching fall project. Your $35.95 kit includes the pattern,
fabrics for the quilt top (it is all cotton) and binding. It finishes
31 1/2" x 31 1/2".
If you'd prefer to use your own fabrics, the pattern is available for $9. |
