>Jelly Roll Pleated Skirt Tutorial on Moda Bake Shop

>

Pattern Click Here

Isn’t this just the cutest skirt ever? It just uses one jelly roll and the instructions say you can get more than one skirt out of a single roll!  This is one of the FREE tutorials on Moda Bake Shop, which is one of my go to sites for great patterns using precuts. Well, guess what? As of today, we have this EXACT jelly roll, from the Origins line by Basic Grey, in the shop and as an added bonus you can use the coupon code JR10 to get a 10% discount off your ENTIRE order! I think this skirt would be awesome done up in the new Bliss jelly roll by Bonnie and Camille OR the Fandango jelly roll by Kate Spain. The tutorial, a debut by Sarah B of SaraB Designs, is really well written with lots of photos PLUS Sarah gives an added BONUS of the applique pattern needed for that adorable t-shirt on her blog! Thank you Sarah! So why don’t you roll on over to the shop and grab yourself an Origins jelly roll to make up this skirt and pick out a second JR to get ready for the Fat Quarterly Quilt Along which starts in September! Don’t forget to use the coupon code upon checkout!

Happy Stitches,
Anna

P.S. We have 4 BOLTS of coordinating yardage in the Origins line plus 4 BOLTS of coordinating Fandango yardage, in case you just need a little extra while you’re taking advantage of that DISCOUNT!

>Moda Bake Shop Random Reflections Tutorial

>I’m sooo excited to announce that there is a new pattern designer on Moda Bake Shop! Her name is Karrie Lyne and she’s fun and fresh and has the cutest blog ever! How could anyone resist a blog called Freckled Whimsy!? Check out this adorable and fun, modern, fresh quilt she has a tutorial for on Moda Bake Shop:

She used the highly anticipated Fandango line (a jelly roll) PLUS one of those AWESOME solid jelly rolls of Bella Solid Snow (we have those too!) Very very soon, when we get these precuts in, we will have a KIT of the supplies for this AWESOME quilt available in our shop! But if you can’t wait, check out the tutorial now and remember that these quilts are SO incredibly versatile because they can be made with ANY jelly roll and coordinating yardage. That’s the best part about Moda Bake Shop! I know, we LOVE the Fandango line (thanks Kate Spain!) but it’s not ready to come out of the oven, so to speak, so we have to be patient. But while you wait for Fandango why not visit our shop and gather some other precuts or coordinating yardage and whip one of these babies up in the mean time? Maybe it could be a practice quilt. Think about making it out of a 12 Days of Christmas Jelly roll plus some of that Bella White Bleached yardage we have, we also have three bolts of coordinating yardage for 12 Days! OR, if you’d like to PRE ORDER the supplies for the FANDANGO Random Reflections Kit, please just drop me a line, you can click the Contact Us link on the webstore or e-mail me to let me know. I’ll send you a pay pal invoice for a deposit on the supplies and when they arrive we’ll bill you the rest and send them out. We have a seriously limited number of Jelly Rolls from Fandango on order (about 4 actually) so if you want them, you might want to reserve your kit ASAP.

If you would prefer to do a different quilt, and something more mysterious, why not join in with Karrie’s Charm Pack Quilt Along? This is how I found her in the first place actually. I saw the adorable badge for the CPQA on another blog, and given my love of charm packs, of course I clicked it. Well, then I realized that we have ALL the supplies for the CPQA in our shop and I offerred Karrie’s readers and quilt along-ers a little incentive to order said supplies from the shop. I guess you’ll just have to go check out her post to see what it was. You can certainly take advantage of that incentive as well if you wish. I know I just can’t wait to see how the quilts turn out!

Well, that’s about all I have for today’s post. I hope you’ll have fun visiting Karrie and tell her I sent ya over. We have some more kits and exciting things planned for the future so this won’t be the last time you hear about her on my blog. Until next time.

Happy Stitches,
Anna

>Bunny Hill Designs, Oliver + S Patterns, and New 12 Days of Christmas Fabric Now in Stock!

>

Welcome to the Saturday Shop Showcase

 
We just received several new patterns from Bunny Hill Designs that were recently released at quilt market. We are completely in LOVE with her premier fabric line called Lily and Will (sneak peek here) due to arrive in October, but we snatched up these patterns right away to help you plan for your fabric purchases! Haha, actually, we just LOVE these patterns so much and see so many possibilities with them that we wanted to make them available right away! Not only are there several new Bunny Hill patterns, but Oliver + S had a couple of sweet little girl patterns that would be perfect for summer and all the way into the fall! Anne Sutton from Bunny Hill and Liesl from Oliver + S must have been in cahoots before Quilt Market because look at this version of the Sunday Brunch Jacket is so adorable! We have the cream quilted fabric ON ORDER because we think it would be AMAZING in this pattern (oh and with the blue plaid/checker TOO CUTE!)
Now as for that funny Christmas fabric in the middle of the mosaic up there, what IS that!? Well, it’s the yardage we’ve purchased to coordinate with our precuts of Kate Spain’s newest line called 12 Days of Christmas. Yes, it’s getting to be that time when we need to start thinking about Christmas, ugh.
And while we’re on that topic look at these great bags Regina just finished!
Here is a little bag that Regina just finished working on using an Aster Manor Charm Pack. Isn’t it lovely? It has a drawstring top and a nice strap, plus pockets on the inside for your hard to find items. It is quilted together and a great bag for a grab and go Saturday trip to the market or a day on the town. This tote bag is listed in our Etsy shop as a finished item for sale. Perfect for a birthday (or Christmas) gift or gift for yourself!
But wait, there’s more!

Here is another one, made with the same pattern but using a Freebird charm pack instead. These bags are fully lined with coordinating fabric and would make a great addition to any wardrobe. I’ve also heard these are great for carrying around knitting and other crafting supplies. Both bags are 14″ wide by 11″ tall. Don’t forget the month of December (and all gift giving associated holidays) is only 7 months away! Time is running out!
Happy Stitches,
Anna

>Wacky Website Challenge and GIVEAWAY

>

I’m back and I said I’d fill you in on the details of what I need help with. I need all of you crafty ladies (or gentlemen) who have crafty eyes to visit our website and look for typos, misspellings, wrong pictures, etc. You see, in a month’s time, Crafty Girls Workshop DOT com is going to be participating in the Fab Shop Hop!! I want our website to be spic and span perfect for all the visitors. Also, I have some flexibility with the way our shop is sorted into categories so if you have any suggestions I’d LOVE to hear them. Remember, we have over 150 bolts of fabric, so it isn’t really feasible for me to go in and completely change the categories, but if there is another way to sort the items that you’d like to suggest, please let me know. So here is the deal:

If you will visit the website, “shop” around, click on items, visit the links, test things out and then come back here and put a comment on this post that says “Hey, I visited your shop!” You’ll get 1 entry into the drawing.

THEN, if you find something that needs correcting and let me know THROUGH E_MAIL (to avoid any embarrassment) you’ll get 1 more entry into the drawing! If you comment on here with a correction, I’m not going to count that entry.

THEN, if you have a suggestion for improving the website and you e-mail me your suggestion(s) I’ll put your name in the hat again and you’ll get 1 more entry in the drawing.

Here’s a bonus:
You can visit/comment/e-mail me EVERY DAY this month for another entry! Meaning, if you visit the website EVERY DAY this month and come back here and comment “Hey, I visited your shop!” or something like that, I’ll put your name in the hat EVERY DAY. If you happen to find another typo or broken link and e-mail me you can do so every time you find an oopsy for another entry! I’ll also give you another entry for any honest suggestions you want to offer me through e-mail.

You could possibly end up with at least 30 entries this month! Pretty cool, huh? Oh, you probably want to know what the prize is, right? I mean, what could possibly be worth all that work?

How about a BRAND NEW charm pack of the 12 Days of Christmas line PLUS a yard of white on white Snowflake fabric? A charm pack has 42 squares of precut fabric. They are 5″ square which makes into a cute baby blanket, throw blanket (with sashing), tote bag, even an apron! Here is a picture of the white on cream, so you can get an idea of the actual snowflake pattern. The fabric you will win is actually white in the background so that it coordinates perfectly with 12 Days of Christmas. (We also just ordered three more bolts of coordinating fabrics from 12 Days that should arrive very soon.) So, are you ready to help me with some quality assurance of my website? On your mark, get set, GO!!
Oh, and since I’m posting this a day into June, I’ll hold it over onto July 2 so that you can get an extra day to enter.
Happy Hunting,
Anna
