Chain Saw quilt

If you have come into the Attic Window any time in the last few months, you may have heard that we will have a guest artist and teacher here at the end of August 2010. Kimberly Einmo will be a guest speaker at the NCW Quilt Guild meeting on August 25, 2010. Then, we will host a book signing and class(es) with Kimberly at the Attic Window. Final dates and arrangements are in the works so look for future e-mails or check out our Facebook page for updated information.

Kimberly is a very creative quilter that I met while we were both stationed at Ramstein AB in Germany. She taught many classes and mystery quilts for our guild. In 2005, she published her first book, "Quilt a Travel Souvenir".

She has also created quite a few rulers to use with her patterns or your own creations. One of her latest rulers is called Simpli-EZ Jelly Roll Ruler. And to go with the ruler, her second book was published in January 2010. This book, Jelly Roll Quilts & More is more than a collection of great patterns for all the precut products on the market. This book has great tips for new and experienced quilters. She has recipes to try (the brownie recipe is great - quick and delicious) and great illustrations and directions on using many of her rulers.

The Attic Window has been carrying her book, which has flown out the door with each shipment. While in the shop take a look at this book. If when you come in we are out of stock, please put in a special order for your own copy.

And check out the picture above of the quilt I made from Jelly Roll Quilts & More. The Chain Saw quilt requires a Layer Cake (10" squares) and a Jelly Roll (2.5" strips), background and border fabrics. Mary of Quilt Hollow and another friend from my time in Germany will be doing the quilting.
