VanGot-It Stripes Quilt

 My eye was drawn to this quilt

currently hanging on the wall at

3 Dudes Quilt Shop

VanGot-it Stripes

by Raymond Steeves

A simple strip pieced quilt

that can be made with Jelly Rolls or Bali Pops

 Bright happy colors:)

 A second color way

represented on another wall

 a  little more toned down, but just as cheerful 

Pattern maybe purchased in the store

or 

ordered on-line

HERE

Fat Quarter Cupcakes

 3 Dudes always has 

the most original

and wonderful

 display ideas.

Fat Quarters wrapped like 

Cupcakes

and placed in a baking tin.

Wouldn't this make a great  

Birthday Gift 

for a quilting friend?

Or a fun decoration 

for a sewing room?

I'm pinning this idea before I forget :)

I Totally Agree With Myself

I've been watching news reports about the

extreme cold across the U.S 

caused by the

Polar Vortex 

(* a new word for me)

and have felt a little guilty

as we bask in the sunshine 

here in Arizona.

Our temperatures have been hovering 

near a perfect 70 degrees

and the neighborhood citrus trees

are brimming with

 bright colors from

oranges

lemons 

and limes

ready to harvest.

Yesterday it was so nice to spend the day

at 3 Dudes

Open Sew Day

I enjoyed watching the progress Vicky

was making as she placed hexagon sections

on the design wall

Pattern: Hexagon Magic II by Lynn Wilson

 Fabric line: Sew Stitchy by Aneela Hoey

 The bed was decorated 

with a new eye catching quilt.

 I love the traditional look and colors

of this Triple Irish Chain

 made by Jeff Carr

 Beautifully quilted!

 The new class schedule is now available

And the sign over the guy's office

just makes me laugh.
