Wow…do these days go fast when we do this….at least that is how I am feeling…

Day 7….New PG patterns and some sale fabric bundles for them…

Due to all the inquiries about our newest patterns we are launching our Homespun Patterns early for one of our 12 Days of Christmas, with a spectacular sale!  Pattern Bundle includes the pattern for the Chenille Pillows ($15.00), the Sentiments of Home (clipboard signs) ($12.00), and the Sweethearts ( little embroidered hearts) ($9.00)!  This set should retail for $36.00, but we are selling it for $27.00, which is like getting the Sweethearts pattern for FREE!

We know many of you would love to start making these awesome projects but the fabric is not due to come out until April!  We have put together 2 different Bundle Sets of Homespuns are great Price point to help you make these projects. And since we want to make room for the new Homespuns coming in, we have slashed these Bundles prices!!

Slash Cutter is available  to make those amazing pillows, we are offering them with a 20% discount and is $12.60 (reg $15.75).  These cutters go thru the blades because you are going to be cutting through so many layers.  We have these available with a discount as well for $7.19. (reg $8.99)

The Pillow Bundle includes 2-2 yard cuts of lights and 3-1 yard cuts of 2 blues and 1 red for only $54.60 (reg $84.00).  This is a $29.40 savings!!!  The Lights will be the same as you see in the picture, the blues and the red patterns will vary.  Thats like getting 2 1/2 yards FREE!

 

We have also put together a Sentiments of Home (Signs) and Sweethearts (little embroidered hearts) Bundle for you.  This bundle will consist of 8- 1/4yard fabrics for only $15.60 (reg $24.00), saving you $8.40.  

We know you will love these projects so much…and will want to order some of the new homespuns as well…but this will keep you happy til then…

If you have never made a Chenille item…I will be doing a tutorial video of this in 2018.  The pillows are so fun…the pattern has an alphabet that you can enlarge or shrink to your liking…some symbols…and Initials…these make fun and easy gifts…we can start thinking about next Christmas!!! Here are some closeups for you…

 

 

Click HERE to go to our site to order if you need to be ready for when we do the video and start on those early presents…If you want to win a pattern pack/bundle and slash cutter….please comment…with an answer to this question…

Do you own any homespun?  Do you use in with only other homespuns or do you mix it with prints…or have you ever made chenille back when homespuns were super popular???

Thanks…LB

    Silly gir! Asking if I own any homespuns! I have two full book shelves of homespuns plus a storage container full of fat quarter homespuns. You’re not talking to a rookie! I love homespuns!! These beauties all look great; wish I could buy them all. Thanks for the opportunity! Merry Christmas to you all!

    I have never used homespun, but it looks lovey and would love to try it. I have done chenille using cotton and sewing and cutting on the diagonal.

    Love all these projects. I have a little bit of homespun in my stash and have used it in table runners in the past and have mixed it with other prints. I have never been a huge fan of chenille, but your pillows have me thinking:) Perhaps because you need a special cutter and it looks complicated and messy to work with. Maybe 2018 is the year to try new things!

    So funny, chenille is making a full circle! My mother made me a chenille vest using this method, loved it! Still have all the necessary tools, so glad you are bringing it back again! I love homespun, a favorite for applique on many different fabrics, especially denim.

    I haven’t made a chenille project and I don’t have any homespuns in my fabric collection but I have a set of potholders with one side chenille given to me by a friend. The pillows with the initial certainly caught my eye and would be a great first chenille project, I believe. Thank you for a chance in the giveaway.

    Yes I do have some homespun fabrics. I use them in craft projects like for snowmen scarves or raggedy doll dresses or scarecrow shirts. It is hard to find good quality homespuns. I have never tried making chenille but I like the look of it. I’ll be waiting for your video because it looks like something I would like to try.

    I love homespuns and I do have them in my stash. I have to drive 2 hours to a quilt shop that has a great selection of them. The closer quilt shops don’t seem to want to have them in stock. I’m couldn’t wait for you to offer those patterns when I saw them on your blog. Thanks for offering them early.

    I love homespuns and wish they were more popular….at least where I live homespuns are hard to come by. I do have them and I seem to only mix them with tonal fabrics. On the chenille question….I have made a rug for my bathroom but it wasn’t out of homespuns. I was suprised how easy it was to making your own chenille fabric!

    I have always been fond of homespun and have some fat quarters in my stash from years ago. I used it with prints for a real vintage look–or so I think. There seemed to have been a downturn in its availability in recent years. So glad you are bringing it back. I have not made a flannel project–think it would be fun!

    I have very little homespun….not sure about it. I like the look on it for other people’s projects, but when it comes to mine, I hesitate to use it. I even own a few pieces, but when I look for it, I can’t remember what special place it is in. I think it is on purpose I don’t remember.

    Yes, I have Homespuns from many years ago, when they were all the rage. Back then, neutral Homespuns were few and far between. I still love them, incorporate them in scrap quilts. I will be collecting all the neutrals this time around. They are beautiful.

    Hi, It must be me, even tho I order stuff online every week. Under the first picture of Needful things, you state there are 2 fabric bundles put together in neutral Homespuns. When I want to order, only 1 shows up without a choice? I would like 2 order both, different neutral bundles of 8, fat quarters. Also, I tried to order the Special, of needles the other day. When I went to my cart, it asked for a choice of needles. The special was not one of them. I understood it to be 4 packs of different hand needles for 20.00? I could not order. Did you have a lot of people ordering them? I just couldn’t. I still would love to place an order with you. Frustrated, Linda

    Homespuns are not something in my stash. I have purchased a piece in the past and made a chenille scarf. I used electric scissors to cut the rows instead of a designated cutter. The heart pillow is so cute. That is something I would love to make. Can’t wait to see your video because I know you will have some good tips for making these items.
