Easy Fall Decor Featuring the Quiltsmart Maple Leaf Pattern

If you follow us on Facebook, you've surely seen the progress of the Quiltsmart Maple Leaf table runner I've been making.  I have documented the process to show you just how fun and easy this pattern is. The Quiltsmart Maple Leaf snuggler pack comes complete with 4 panels of interfacing, enough interfacing to make a 48" square lap quilt, bed runner, or table runner, easy to read instructions with color photos, and an inspiration & design card that will show you other projects and ideas using this pattern.

If you're new to the Quiltsmart methods, we utilize fusible interfacing to make our patterns, easy to use and easy to follow.  The printed interfacing has the pattern right on it with sew lines and everything, making the hardest part of this pattern picking the fabric!

Hexagons, and a few more... Well with all of that quilting comes some celebrating, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate that with our newest additions to the Quiltsmart family.

Introducing the Quiltsmart Gadget Cushion with a Fabulous Giveaway!

Here at Quiltsmart, we are very excited to announce our newest Practical Art pattern, the Gadget cushion!  These little cushions are super quick to sew up and are equally as functional.  You can use a Gadget Cushion to hold your phone, business cards, pens, and sewing notions.  The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.  They work great next to your bed, at your sewing station, or your desk, and make wonderful gifts.  We've even included a gift description printed on interfacing.  All you have to do is iron it onto a card or gift tag, and the recipient will know exactly what it is.
