Awesome (and Free) Falls Quilt Pattern

Kona Solids Quilt

Seriously, with one Jelly Roll and one Charm Pack from Robert Kaufman you can pull this off!  (You don’t have much left, so cut carefully).  But play around with it, see what you can do to make it better, and let us know what you think!!

This came out soooo nice, I am so excited about it!  Happy Quilting!

Quilting Dudes

When most people think of quilting, they think of little old ladies holed up inside spending hours at a sewing machine. Forgive them, they just don’t know. Today’s quilters are young and old, and interestingly enough MALE and female.

Here at the shop, we’ve had the opportunity to see just how much men love their quilts. They come in to support their wives, they look at fabric, and they admire the Gammill. “That’s quite a machine,” they say. But most importantly, they bring in quilts of their own.

Men LOVE quilting and that’s a great thing. That’s just what these Arizona guys are trying to prove.
