Book Review - 3 Times The Charm!

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!

My finished quilt!  I just love it!

In time for Christmas!!!

Quilts in this book range 

from 19-3/4"" to 42-3/4".

I give this #bookreview

5 buttons 

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!

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things
