			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow is the first Friday of the month and as always there will be a special for all our Facebook Fans.  Just &#8220;like&#8221; us on Facebook and you&#8217;ll never miss the coupon code for any of the Facebook First Friday special deals. </p>
<p>This month the special is FREE SHIPPING to US addresses!  The more you buy, the more you save!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s go on a virtual shopping trip.  You could buy, say, this <a title="Caribbean Star Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-7244-caribbean-star-by-tyquilts-designs.aspx" target="_blank">Caribbean Star quilt pattern</a>&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Caribbean Star" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/7244.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" />It&#8217;s gorgeous, isn&#8217;t it?  Paper foundation piecing will enable you to create perfect star points with ease.  Finishing at 21&#8243; square this makes a beautiful wall hanging.   So purchase this pattern and you save some money because the shipping is FREE! to US addresses.</p>
<p>But, why stop there?  Doesn&#8217;t this quilt make you yearn for batiks? </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Batik Cascade Cerise" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/17906.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>All of the <a title="Batik Cascades Quilting Fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=Batik+Cascade" target="_blank">Batik Cascades</a> fade from very dark to very light across the width of fabric.  This essentially gives you several shades of color in each piece.   </p>
<p><a title="Patina Handpaints Quilt Fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=Patina+Handpaints" target="_blank">Patina Handpaints</a> are available in blue, in green, and in blue/green with an allover mottled shading of vivid color. </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Patina Handpaints Quilting Fabric" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/8108.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Okay, so now you have a pattern, and a few yards of batiks in your cart.  You&#8217;re buying more so you&#8217;re saving more on shipping . . . . &#8217;cuz it&#8217;s FREE! to US addresses.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s keep going.  When you finish your quilt top you&#8217;re going to need some batting.  <a title="Quilters Dream Cotton Batting" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/s-110-cotton-quilt-batting.aspx" target="_blank">Quilters Dream Cotton Batting</a> is available in several sizes, from craft size (46&#8243; x 36&#8243;) to King size (122&#8243; x 122&#8243;), and in four different lofts.   Made from 100% cotton, it&#8217;s specially processed so you can quilt up to 8&#8243; apart.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Quilters Dream Cotton Batting" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/5519.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Or, do you prefer <a title="Quilters Dream Poly Batting" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/s-111-polyester-quilt-batting.aspx" target="_blank">Quilters Dream Poly Batting</a>?   Made with an exclusive blend of revolutionary microfibers giving it exceptional drape, breathability and comfort.    This batting is resistant to bunching and shifting, so you can quilt up to 12&#8243; apart.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Quilters Dream Poly Batting" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19133.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of us are still experiencing a heat wave but Fall really will be here before we know it!  It&#8217;ll be time to put away the watermelon theme placemats and the sailboat wall hanging and replace them with your favorite fall quilts.    And time to make something new to add to your collection.<img class="alignleft" title="Fall Glory quilt pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/2269.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p> <a title="Fall Glory Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-2269-fall-glory-by-the-city-stitcher.aspx" target="_blank">Fall Glory</a> is a two for one quilt pattern.  The large Fall Glory quilt (54&#8243; x 67.5&#8243;) and the small Acorn Trail quilt (48&#8243; x 59.5&#8243;) are both perfect as wall hangings.   You could also toss them across a couch or easy chair for snuggling under on cool autumn evenings.  Applique instructions are given for both hand and machine.</p>
<p>   </p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Fall Wreath Quilt Pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/4418.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p>                                                                                           Measuring just 15&#8243; square, this small <a title="Fall Wreath Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-4418-fall-wreath-by-mh-designs.aspx" target="_blank">Fall Wreath</a> really packs a punch of color.  Foundation piecing makes the construction easy and precise.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Perennial Favorites" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/17100.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p>With <a title="Perennial Favorites Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-17100-perennial-favorites-by-toadusew-creative-concepts.aspx" target="_blank">Perennial Favorites</a> you can make a 24&#8243; x 40&#8243; Fall table runner and have instructions (including applique patterns) for a Christmas runner and a Spring/Summer table runner.  You&#8217;ll be set for the year!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="All For Fall Quilt Book" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/1070.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" />Anne Cosgrove&#8217;s book <a title="All For Fall Quilt Book" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-1070-all-for-fall-by-annes-quilt-loft.aspx" target="_blank">All For Fall</a> will give you quilts to make for this Fall, and some for next Fall too.  Projects include large quilts, wall hangings, pillows, table runner, table topper, placemats and more.  Anne repeats many of the design elements in the different items so if you make more than one your pieces will complement one another for a beautiful coordinated Fall look.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After you check out these and other <a title="QuiltersWarehouse" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">quilt patterns</a>, look at the <a title="Vine Creek quilting fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/c-175-vine-creek-quilting-fabric-collections.aspx" target="_blank">Vine Creek </a>and <a title="Gobble Gobble quilt fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/c-140-gobble-gobble-by-sandy-gervais-quilting-fabric-collections.aspx" target="_blank">Gobble Gobble</a> quilt fabric collections&#8230;. they are perfect for Fall projects.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft" title="Garden Party Floral Basil Quilting Fabric" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/18811.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p>Delicate cabbage roses in various stages of bloom on a green background form the focus fabric called <a title="Garden Party Floral Basil" href="http://http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-18811-garden-party-floral-basil-moda-fabric.aspx" target="_blank">Garden Party Floral Basil</a>.  This would work well as a large border fabric.  Fussy cutting the flowers would be another option.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> <img class="alignright" title="Garden Party Bird Plum quilting fabric" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/18812.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /><a title="Garden Party Bird Plum quilting fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-18812-garden-party-bird-plum-moda-fabric.aspx" target="_self">Garden Party Bird Plum</a> is a chocolate brown with white dots and pink and white flowers that are smaller in scale than the focus fabric.  A few birds glide among the flowers.    The colors are distributed evenly enough so that nearly any size strip of fabric will have a sampling of all the colors.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/garden-party-blush1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1528 alignleft" title="garden party blush" src="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/garden-party-blush1.jpg" alt="" width="482" height="183" /></a></p>
<p>  Three rose blush colored prints complement the florals.  The <a title="Garden Party Daisy Rose Blush quilting fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-18813-garden-party-daisy-rose-blush-moda-fabric.aspx" target="_blank">Daisy</a> and Seeds both have the same shade background, the cream colored dots lightens the overall look of the <a title="Garden Party Seeds Rose Blush quilting fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-18817-garden-party-seeds-rose-blush-moda-fabric.aspx" target="_blank">Seeds Rose Blush</a>.  The <a title="Garden Party Leaves Rose Blush quilting fabric" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-18815-garden-party-leaves-rose-blush-moda-fabric.aspx" target="_blank">Leaves Rose Blush</a> print has the blush color in the leaves over a cream colored background.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Garden Party Leaves Basil" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/18816.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p><img class="alignleft" title="Garden Party Stitchery Basil" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/18818.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And a green panel print, <a title="Garden Party Stitchery Basil" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-18818-garden-party-stitchery-basil-panel-moda-fabric.aspx" target="_blank">Garden Party Stitchery Basil</a>, with vines, letters and wording finishes the vintage look.  This panel is 2/3 of a yard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that you&#8217;ve seen this beautiful fabric collection you&#8217;ll have to browse the <a title="QuiltersWarehouse" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">quilt patterns</a> to find just the right one&#8230; or two&#8230; or three&#8230;</p>

<p> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a fairly recent transplant from big city to wide open country, I just love the look of the Barnyard Ladies Quilt Patterns by Sue Pritt of <a title="Sweet Season Quilt Patterns" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/m-297-sweet-season-quilts.aspx" target="_blank">Sweet Season Quilts</a>.   Like the Painted Ladies and the Shop Ladies series, the Barnyard Ladies are individual quilts but they are designed to connect to form larger wallhangings.  Make just one, or connect two, three or all four to suit yourself. </p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="The Buggy Barn Quilt Pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19419.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p>The <a title="The Buggy Barn Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19419.jpg" target="_blank">Buggy Barn</a> is framed by bigger than life sunflowers.  The barn itself houses an antique buggy, a &#8220;two-wheeler&#8221; and is topped by a cupula.  A collie sits patiently out front, waiting for a ride in the country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="The Quilt Loft Quilt Pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19420.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" />The <a title="The Quilt Loft Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-19420-the-quilt-loft-pattern-from-the-barnyard-ladies-series-sweet-season-quilts.aspx" target="_blank">Quilt Loft </a>belongs on the Barn Quilt tour with it&#8217;s star block hanging just below the peak of the barn.  A treadle machine holds a WIP while baby lambs spin their own wool.  Morning glories climb in the foreground.  Wouldn&#8217;t you just love to sew here?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="The Country Stable Quilt Pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19421.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p>It looks like the rooster is scolding the horse for even thinking about sampling the apples that sit in front of the <a title="The Country Stable Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-19421-the-country-stable-pattern-from-the-barnyard-ladies-series-sweet-season-quilts.aspx" target="_blank">Country Stable</a>.  The hens are upstairs, busy chatting away instead of laying their eggs.  All this fronted by beautiful pink hollyhocks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="The Milk Shed Quilt Pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19422.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" />The <a title="The Milk Shed Quilt Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-19422-the-milk-shed-from-the-barnyard-ladies-series-sweet-season-quilts.aspx" target="_blank">Milk Shed</a> houses more than just cows.  The barn kitty is enjoying the view from the hayloft and way up top the crows are nesting.  Geese are parading in front of the cows, and the cows are eyeing the corn, which looks about ready for harvest.</p>
<p>All of these quilts include regular piecing, applique and paper piecing.  The instructions are very detailed and very clear.   The barnyard scenes will come to life in front of your eyes.   You can choose the line-up you like best and you can swap the flowers amongst the barnyards.  Have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a title="Lily Pocket Purse Pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-19552-lily-pocket-purse-pattern-lazy-girl-designs.aspx" target="_blank">Lily Pocket Purse Pattern </a>is the newest from Lazy Girl Designs and is available for pre-order with a special label for all pre-orders!   A modest sized shoulder bag, it&#8217;s perfect for everyday use with plenty of pockets for everything you need to carry.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Lily Pocket Purse Pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19552_1.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></p>
<p>Soft curves, pleats and a wide band give this bag a flirty, feminine look.  The handle can be made long (42&#8243;) or medium (27&#8243;) depending on your purse carrying style.  Velcro closures are easy to install and easy to use. Joan Hawley promises she made the pattern &#8221;lazy&#8221; just like always.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The interior boasts two large pockets, a pen pocket and then lots of extra room because of the pleats.<img class="alignright" title="Lily Pocket Purse Pattern interior" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19552_7.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" />  Look closely and you&#8217;ll get a peek at the label you&#8217;ll receive when you order early.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Lily Pocket Purse Pattern" src="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/images/product/medium/19552_2.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /> And two more pockets on the back&#8230; one large enough for a cell phone or little notebook, and one that will hold a pen or your lipgloss.</p>
<p>Four fun and fabulous prints are all you need to make the most of Lily.</p>
<p>1/3 yd of two main cover fabrics<br />1/2 yd handle and pockets<br />1/4 yd waistband</p>
<p>For a more varied look, use a handful of fat quarters. Keep in mind that you’ll need to piece the handle to the desired length when working with smaller cuts of fabric.</p>
<p> And remember, all pre-orders receive a <a href="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/lgd_label.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1516 alignright" title="lgd_label" src="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/lgd_label-300x138.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="138" /></a>Lazy Girl Designs woven sew-in designer label.  Orders are expected to ship in mid-September.  Shipping on this one pattern is only $1.99.  So what are you waiting for?!  Order now and soon you&#8217;ll be running around town in style!</p>

<p> </p>
