Today I hope to cover several of the local shops. This year every QS is providing a FREE quilt block pattern to all the runners, along with a 'charm'. Here's one idea on how to use the collected charms -- a necklace:
Most of the shops I've already visited are also offering a small packet [for sale] with all the necessary fabrics to make their shop's block. Here are a few pictures of what I've seen so far. . .
This Shoe block is from the Quilter's Cottage in Fallbrook and the second pic [below] is how their staff has put it into a quilt using several of these blocks... cute!
The next pic is of the Quilter's Coop block made into a pocket and placed on a purse. I love the little "flip flop"... fun!
Well, that's about it for now. Hope you enjoyed the "little quilt show" of blocks and project ideas.
Have a wonderful Sunday. . . I'm off to go visit the local shops and see what they are doing.
Hugs,
Cyn;-)

I like the crazy patchwork purse block. And also the bag you can make with it.
I saw the purse from Temecula on another blog earlier today. That is a really good looking bag. Are you going to make one?
You are having way too much fun girl!!! Just kidding, it is impossible to have too much fun when it comes to quilt shops (hehehe) Love those crazy quilt purses and totes:)
