I wanted to share some really cute owls - a group of Hot Whos a teacher made for her class at Sewn From The Heart. We just love the way she mixed it all up with the plaids, checks, dots and the great colors. Make it a creative day and try something different - it’s fun!

Warm Tater Cotton
Sincerely, SusieThere’s a New Cotton Batting in town - "Warm Tater" cotton. We’ve been asked how it differs from regular cotton batting and if it can be used to make our patterns (especially our hot pads), and the answer is no. It is not recommended for our designs because it’s really too thick - when we designed our patterns, we used what was available at the time; to achieve the thickness required while being fairly easy to sew through, we use Insul-Brite along with "Warm & Natural" or "Warm & White" cotton batting. The cotton batting in our patterns is used to absorb any condensation created by the "Insul-Brite," and the thickness of "Warm Tater" cotton (while nice) is really too much for our current designs. If any of you have tried "Warm Tater" cotton with our patterns, please share and let us know how it worked for you.

Time For Another Contest!!! Free Pattern From Susie C Shore Designs
It’s time for another contest, and the prize this time is a free “E-Book Jacket” pattern!!! But since the cover of this pattern makes it too easy to find the shell normally placed in the picture, we want you tell us what your favorite reader is (and why) instead. Don’t spend a lot of time writing the response (e.g., “I like the Nook Color Tablet because I can play games, read magazines and books too!” is perfectly acceptable), because short and sweet is all that’s needed. The first 12 people who respond will win a free “E-Book Jacket” pattern! Please watch for a list of the contest winners (which will be posted in another blog) when the contest is over.
Thank you for playing!

Notes about The ladies....
Notes about the Ladies...
As shown on the cover, we used three different red fabrics, hoping everyone would be creative and try a fabric they could find in their local quilt shop. One of the fabrics is just a basic red fabric with the spots appliqued on as desired. The middle Lady as shown on the cover was just black dots on a red background. The third Lady (closest to bottom of the photo) was a red fabric from Andover called "The Grouchy Ladybug." One of my favorite places to tell customers to try is "The Fat Quarter Shop," which is an on-line fabric store where you can search for what your looking for...like black dots, or stripes or dots, etc. But it’s always best to try your local quilt shops first for good quality cotton fabrics.
