Bear?

Can you believe there's a bear on Cape Cod?  It was spotted not far from the store!  

Marie Spadaro made this baby quilt!

Marie also made this wallhanging!  This one was started in a Katie Pasquini class.

Marie is teaching a Surface Design class here at Tumbleweed on Wednesday, June 6 from 10-1.
If you are curious about paint sticks or angelina of incorporating sheers into your quilts come and
play!  It's fun!  And easy!

What's Willie Up To?

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!  Don't forget, Tumbleweed is closed Monday for Memorial Day!  Tomorrow (Sunday) we will be open from 12 to 5, as usual.

Willie will be teaching this Spring Blossom Table Topper in her Bits and Pieces Class on June 2.  It uses the 12 Degree Wedge Ruler from Phillips Fiber Art.  Phillips Fiber Art is offering a free pattern each month using this ruler.  

This is another of their patterns that Willie has made.  See more here.

July and August will bring you the 3 Dudes Majestic Mountain Throw.  Willie made her's with brown and black batik strips and it looks great!!

This is the back of her "Ghastlie" quilt.

Here is the front!  We love the Ghastlies!

Quilts

Gail Butler used bright fabrics to make her Dresdan Plate quilt!

Tricia Curry has been making quilted watches!  It's good to have one for every outfit!  Some of her watches will be available at the Boutique Table at the Crazy Quilters of Cape Cod Quilt Show in June. More information about the show is here.

Diane H. McGuire brought in another Dr. Seuss quilt!  This time it's the Lorax!  She designed the quilt and Carol Burton sewed it for the Bayberry Quilt Show this summer.

Terry Curry has finished her Jo Morton quilt!!  Look at all those little triangles!

Joellen Haley made this beautiful Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt for her sister (an identical twin) and she started it in 2008 when her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her sister is doing wonderful now!!  Joellen had never even sewed before and she made this quilt top all by hand and then mating quilted it.  Truly a labor of love!

Olive showed us the tablerunner she finished in class with Carol Ayotte called "Served With a Twist"!

Quilts

 Ursula Fisher hand embroidered this lighthouse wallhanging!

Shari Sears made this jelly roll quilt in a class with Willie!

New Couch Quilt!

Last weekend I cleared out my closet a little bit.  It doesn't happen often.  Really!  

I found a lot of tee shirts that I needed to get rid of.  After awhile I realized I was sorting them into color piles as I went through them.  Not the ones I was keeping, that would make sense, I was sorting them before I put them into the give away bag.  I realized that the pile pictured above would look great in my sewing room, so I decided to make a throw for my couch.

 I kept a brown and turquoise pile, too.  My niece and daughter like these colors and might need a throw for their couches at some point.

 I kept it simple, just big squares of fabulous color.  They're very soft!  It's going to look great on my couch.  Take a look here  to see my couch in my sewing room.

I think I'm going to put minkee on the back to make it super cozy!

Paula Tuano made these wallhangings awhile back.
