Great for placemats, napkins, or make wine bags with the preprinted panel (2/3 yd of your favorite coordinate is needed for the lining) Includes several prints including a panel of labels, clusters of grapes, wine words, glasses and bottles as well as a tonal purple and an awesome cork print.

New Kit!

"BOO!"
As crafters and sewers we know we have to start holiday sewing long before the holiday or we won't finish in time. So, let's talk Halloween. The kit for this tiny wall hanging or table mat is small enough for an end table or maybe even on the bathroom sink! How fun is that?
Click here for the kit.



Kitty Corn Panel Apron
A Quilt Corral Exclusive.
Start with a panel and convert it to an adorable Halloween apron featuring vintage black cats and pumpkins.  Don't cook? No problem, it'll make a cute kitchen decoration hanging on a hook or cupboard door knob. Straps crisscross in the back for adjustable fit.
Click here for the kit.



Focus on handwork

New wool kits!

"Peaceful" is a 10" x 16" oval wool candle mat by The Woolen Needle. Barb visited their awesome shop in Iowa and picked out a few projects for our Quilt Corral wool lovers! The kit includes the wool and cotton backing. Add your own floss.
Shop here for the Peaceful candle mat.



"Spool Pincushion"

5" round pincushion is like a little floppy puddle that, when filled with walnut shells, stays where it's put. Includes wool and lining fabric. Add your own floss.
Shop here for the spool pincushion kit.



Buttermilk Basin's "Sugar Cookie ornament kit"

In woolfelt. Hang them on your tree or arrange on a tray to make a cute zero calorie cookie display! Kit includes the woolfelt needed for all 8 sugar cookies and enough of the cookie color for backing (the pattern suggests flannel but we like the woolfet on back) Includes glass beads to embellish and baker's twine for hanging. Add your own floss.
Shop here for the Sugar Cookie ornament kit.

New pattern!

Pincushion Fit For A Queen

Love old fashioned pin cushions? We came across this vintage style pin cushion pattern that sews up in any style of print. The pattern has instructions for using templates but it can be cut with the 60 degree line on any ruler.
Click here for the Cut Loose Press pattern.



Back in Stock!

Crushed walnut shells

We loved crushed walnut shells for our pincushions. Our bags are sized for one average sized pincushion. For large or very full pincushions you may want to get two. (Get two for the Fit for a Queen pincushion.)

Our Tiny Tree A Day Challenge

Continues all year! You may join at any time! Click here for the template set. Click here to download the pdf with guidelines and tips. Each month Barb and Carol take turns posting ideas on our social media pages. In July Barb converted an apron panel into a Christmas wallhanging!
Click here for the panel.
Click here for the border fabric.
Click here for the solid red. 1/2 yard each is enough for borders and binding.
Or you could always just make the apron and make one tiny tree for a pocket!!
 
Barb cut the Tiny Trees and trunks from the green bib and all the background from the cream portion of the apron panel.



While on a annual family vacation, Carol had each family member make a couple of trees. She plans to add to it every year!

Tiny Trees would also make a fun friendship block exchange!
