Hi all! Happy October! We had a great QUILT SHOP HOP, this past weekend. More than 1000 people visited the store in 2-1/2 days. That was a lot! The energy was so positive and exciting. For more great shots of our shop during the Hop, go to http://www.thekansan.com/blogs/quiltingwithwendy Now rested, we're still energized and moving things around in the store again. LOL Don't be shy! You may need a guided tour next time you're in!
http://www.sewnatural.net/nl.asp?p=0&c=125 By popular demand, we've once again cut kits for CLEO'S DESIGNS ever popular NATIVITY pattern, featuring Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus surrounded by the easiest ever, rock-wall looking background. Order today, and you could finish this easy fusible-appliqué project in time to display for the Holidays. http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=17667
Use Broadway Border printed interfacing from Quiltsmart, and you'll get perfect, interesting edges! Make them as long as you like. Layer them many times, or just once. Stitch down with a small zig-zag stitch, or leave it lose as LaVerna did here. LaVerna laid the red fabric, backed with BROADWAY BORDER interfacing, on top of the green border, pieced a 4-patch for each corner, and simply attached them to a 24" wide x 42" long PANEL from Moda. http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=29594 There are all sorts of ways to be creative with BROADWAY BORDERS. http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=10955 More Quiltsmart: http://www.sewnatural.net/nl.asp?p=0&c=133
Mary just finished a fast little quilt using another favorite "short-cut tool". She started with Karen Snyder's DOLLY DEAR panel featuring little dresses in vintage prints. The border & rick-rack around each dress are a printed part of the block! Place your orders now and we'll send kits as soon as the panel is back in stock. Delivery expected in about 10 days. http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=29592 Mary simply sashed the SQUARES using MARTI MICHELL's SASHING STAR POINT template/ruler set to make them dance among the STARS! http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=24547 I'm going to be showing this SASHING STAR ruler at 2nd Saturday, tomorrow, 10/8. Feel free to come at 9 a.m., standing room only, for 30 minutes of sharing, showing and info-mercialing by me! The presentation is FREE and you are always welcome to join us.

See all the QUILTS and a LIST OF PRIZE WINNERS on the group's web site: http://www.centralkansasquiltshophop.4t.com If you like my original BLAZING KANSAS quilt, there are still a limited number of PRE-CUT kits. The quilt finishes approximately 76 inches square. I have cut all the pieces needed for the inner BLAZING STAR border and the sashings. All you have to do is sew! Included are 3 yards of the THEME FABRIC. This is enough to cut an 8-1/2 inch wide outer border & 3 inch wide binding. If you like my quilt, and want to finish the 10 blocks that you collected during the Shop Hop as I did, you can order it now here: http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=29476
A special "shout out" thanks to my persistent daughter Lily, who finally has me participating on Facebook. Lily designed and launched the CHARLOTTE'S SEW NATURAL pages, and we'd love it if you'd "friend" me, and keep up with us there too. Just search CHARLOTTE'S SEW NATURAL on FACEBOOK, and we should pop up. At least, that's what they tell me. :)
Have a great weekend. Sincerely, Charlotte Wolfe Charlotte's Sew Natural Charlotte's Bargain

Two local QUILT SHOWS
happen next weekend, Oct. 15 & 16. 
A
little more CKQSHOP HOP WRAP-UP: 
Note: I used the
10th block in the corners of the border. It was perfect for
"turning the corner", when divided into 4 equal parts!
