BAOBAB BLANKET
35" × 44" $37.50Everything you need for this soft, flannel baby blanket is included in the kit (well, not the thread). We show just the corner of the two 1¼ yd pieces, one for the top and one for the back. When you look carefully, you can see the printed quilting lines on the piece for the quilt top; as suggested in this pattern created by 2 Mod Moms, you "follow-the-stitch," quilting either by machine or by hand. To give you a feel for the density of the quilting, the lion in the picture is 4½ inches tall. The name for this quilt comes from the central motif - the Baobab tree - which provides shade for the animals whose home is Africa. For a warmer blanket, you can add a layer of batting between the top and back .
DINO QUILLOW-PACK QUILT
42" × 54" $60.50This is a real "transformer"!

And, if you like the Dino panel, you can purchase it separately ($7.00) to make your own project.

SWEET DREAMS
57" × 57" $49.50 Sweet Dreams is a setting created by Jina Barney to display the recently released Riley Blake fabrics in the Sweet Nothings collection, designed by Zoe Pern (Zoe Pern Designs). Since we do not have a Shop Model, we have prepared this kit in an extra large package that allows you to get an excellent view of this terrific fabric collection.
FUZZY WUZZY
45" x 59" $85.00Fuzzy Wuzzy is the greatest lap quilt for cool evenings. Made of flannels, it has definite "warm comfort appeal." We show the fuzzy fringed side in our picture; the other side is smooth, of course. Your kit has twenty (20) different flannels, cut in 11" × wof strips and the batting; this makes the quilt in our picture - 7 blocks wide by 7 blocks long. This project is easy to make, and also gives you a chance, if you wish, to try free motion quilting, block by block; each block is quilted before it is assembled into the completed quilt. And there are no borders to fuss with. (Of course, we can show you a neat way to add borders if you want them.) We use current fabric collections in our kits. (We no longer have the collection from which the quilt in our picture was made.) Therefore, it is important to look at the kits that we currently have (or, if you are phoning in, to ask for a description of the fabrics). In addition, we have an excellent selection of flannels and may be able to cut a kit just for you, using colors and patterns you like. If you should desire a smaller or larger quilt, the table in our pattern shows you how many blocks you will need; all that you need to remember is that you get 5 blocks from each pair (2) of 11" × wof strips.
