Charm packs not available...

Hi girls, Yesterday I called all the quilt shops I could find around Pittsburgh. I only found 3 packs of the snowman print in Indiana. Which doesn't help because we needed 7! So.. I have thought of a different idea which I think will be more fun. We are going to each bring "Charms" (5" squares) to share. This is how we will do it.

1) Dig in your stash or go to the fabric store and purchase 4 different patterns in a color group 6" wide of Christmas related fabric. (We do this in case the fabric is not cut straight and we need the blocks to be 5" square ! ) You will only be buying 24" of fabric total for the front. Less than a yard!!! Cut each strip into 8 - 5" blocks. Depending on the width of your fabric and the salvage edges you might get 9 blocks but be sure to cut away those edges. When you bring your blocks to our group you will need to have 32 blocks total. In order to keep our quilt "scrappy" with alot of colors we should each choose a color group. (note* there can be multicolors on your design, but the background color should be your color) I will do the creams for the snowman. (which will still be 4 different patterns) This may seem confussing, so give me a call. We need the following color groups. (I had fun doing this wall hanging pattern before. Some prints had snowmen faces on it.. toys, pine trees, snowflakes etc. Have FUN with it. It works when all put together!)

cream/white - Laura
Red print
Red print
Burgandy Print
Green Print
Dark Blue or Navy Solid
Dark Blue with print
Black Print
Cream with multiprint
Multiprint
Multiprint

This will be awesome. Now, Keep in mind that you will still need the Batting and Back piece. See 1st posting for sizes.

Give me a call or email and we will get you signed up for your color. If you don't think you will be able to make the Sew Date and still would like a set made up from everyone, bring me your squares before Oct. 31st and we will make up a pack for you!!! Enjoy picking out your fabric! How fun is that!
