"Friends" Quilt and Cover Story Panels

One of our first patterns, and probably one of our favorites, “Friends”, has been reprinted (LQC3). The quilt shown is made with the “Sues” from our newest preprinted panel from Henry Glass fabrics. This quilt measures 16” x 22”. We’ve combined the patchwork made from coordinating fabrics from “Fun with Sue” and rather than appliqué each 5” block we cut out 6 blocks and framed it with patchwork.

See the Little Quilts website to order the pattern and the fabric.

Thimbleberries' Cover Story panels ($12 each) with coordinating fabrics are also available:

Happy New Year -- Ring In the New...

Your kit includes background fabric, card to make the stitchery or frame as is in a 4" X 6" frame (we have the perfect choice for $3.00 each). In the January kit will be a mini version (1" x 1 1/2") of all 12 designs on cardstock that you can cut apart and put in a brass frame that is wearable (available for $5.50 each; see above). The Finishing Kit of the same black fabric as shown in the original (and the background sashing squares) is available for $11.95.

Don't miss a wonderful new class at Little Quilts: Voices of the Past is a new women’s history study club: learn about famous women and the role they played in history. The class includes a pattern for a quilt named in honor of a famous woman, plus smaller quilts and other projects. You’ll learn techniques to make your patchwork easier. Each session will include an interesting visit to the past, perhaps some poetry, other craft, clothing…even food. Read about Little Quilts' Voices of the Past class here. Here are the class times:

Christmas Shopping at Little Quilts

Are you like this little lady who wondered how to find decorations for her house this Christmas? Well, she went to shop at Little Quilts and this is what she found...

She was quite taken with the cheerful red and white Christmas throw ($40) and the matching Christmas tree skirt (below, $45)...



She also noticed the very Christmasy bucket with cardinal that is laden with greens ($24.98) and handsome feather trees scattered through the Little Quilts shop ($28.95)...

...and she went home to tell her friends about the wonderful Christmas finds at Little Quilts...

Christmas Is Coming to Little Quilts

This Little Quilts member of the monthly Wool Works class is showing her wonderful buttonholed wool pennies bedspread:

Isn't it stupendous?

It's amazing how much you can get done while riding in a car if you keep at it! Class members work on various wool projects of their own choosing. This particular wool pennies pattern is from the book Modern Primitive Quilts, which is available in the shop.


This charming book, Mother Earth and her Children (a quilted fairy tale), is also available in the shop (autographed copies) for $17.95. Written more than 100 years ago, this is a hardcover collectible, pass-down-for-generations type of book. It is an imaginative tale about Mother Earth and her children and what they do during each season. The illustrations are from the Houston Best of Show award-winning quilt. Lots to look at and talk about as you read along with a child.
