Some of my neighborhood quilt shops
take part in a quilt run twice a year.
Once in the fall (Reindeer Dash) and another
in the spring (Spring Fling).
On the first stop you pick up your
passport which you have stamped
upon arriving at each shop you visit.
You than receive a
free pattern along with a fat-
quarter. Below are some of the fat-
quarters I received with a
few I purchased.
I decided I wanted to work on these
fabrics. One of the many
fat quarters I have collected on
these runs. I choose not
to use one of the patterns I
received. Instead, I picked one
out of the book, "3 times the charm!"
by
Barbara Groves & Mary Jacobson.
I choose the pattern named,
"bertha," in the book.
This book is wonderful! It gives
a total of seven quick and
easy designs with three looks
for each design! That's right
"3 times the charm, 21 looks!
The instructions are easy
to understand and you get
full pictures of all the
quilts made three times.
General instructions from selecting
fabrics to preparing, cutting,
piecing, pressing
and quilting are all included
in this 40 page book.

Here you get a look at what I
have chosen and made
with the christmas fabric
I've collected!
The book is made to use 5"
charm packs. As you can
see I didn't!

My quilt label was sewn with my
embroidery sewing machine!

In time for Christmas!!!

Of course you can make these quilts
smaller by removing a row of
quilt blocks or enlarging
the quilts by adding more
blocks and/or adding an extra
border.
Thank you for stopping by!
