Pam's Patchwork Stars

 Look what's shipping to quilt shops right now.  Pam's Patchwork Stars convenience fabric!

Pictures do not do justice to how crisp and beautiful this fabric really is.  Marcus Fabrics did an amazing job producing this print in the highest quality possible.  Sure, you can use it as the backing of a wonderful quilt which is the most common use for convenience prints, but this print can do so much more!

My friend, Debbie, made this needlebook bag for me and I love it!!  It's perfect for holding my scissors, threads, pattern and it has a needle keep in it, too!  It opens on the arm of my favorite stitching chair, keeping all my tools right where I need them.  The pattern is Just In Case, By Annie.

Debbie also made me this sweet bag, called Clam Up, also By Annie.

The Clam Up bag can be made in a wide variety of sizes so you can choose which will work best for you.  Also, patterns By Annie come with video tutorials to help you in making the bags.....how great is that?  Don't they look wonderful in my Patchwork Stars print??

I made a bunch of these project bags.....something I admit I am obsessed with making in a host of different fabric combinations.  They are just perfect for keeping all the parts of your project together, and the vinyl lets you see what project is inside.  I probably have a dozen bags, all different fabric combos, and each has a project I have prepped, or is in progress.  The are very easy to do....really!

The top header fabric with the zipper shows different prints from the collection.

You can find the instructions to make a project bag for yourself on YouTube.  The video is very good as she shows you each step in the project.  Search this title on YouTube:

I'm excited to say that my convenience fabrics have been a huge hit with quilters...thank you!  (I did a multicolored Log Cabin last year, and now the Patchwork Stars print.) So much so, that we have planned on continuing with more of them!  Very excited about that.

Coming very soon is my next collection called Betsy's Needlework.  I'll tell you all about it in my next post.

Until then, keep your needle busy and your heart content.  Be well.......
