Dear Quilting Superstar,
Has anyone ever told you that quilting projects can take weeks, even months, to finish? Well, for some intricate, large-scale projects, that might be true. But you can make some stunning projects in just a weekend! In Weekend Wonders from We Like Quilting, you’ll find projects that are big on charm small on time commitment!
Stack and Slice Quilted Tote Bag
Topping our “looks more difficult than it really was” list is our Stack and Slice Quilted Tote. This project is perfect for beginning quilters who are feeling a little adventurous and for more experienced quilters who’d like to make a project freestyle.
The Stack and Slice technique — also known as Stack and Slash — lets you improvise your pattern. Through creative layering and cutting, you’ll stitch together a one-of-a-kind tote bag that comes together almost seamlessly (OK; not literally, but you take my point). Pick a bold color combination and be prepared to collect plenty of compliments when you take this bag out.
Who doesn’t love a cute kitchen project? You’ll want to add our Get a Grip Quilted Potholder and Jar Opener to your project list. Designed using a layer of silicone on one side, this DIY potholder also functions as a handy jar opener! This kitchen sewing project is easy to make in an afternoon. The pattern uses a foldover binding technique, making it perfect for beginner to advanced quilters alike. Another beginner-friendly project is our Up and Down Mini Quilt — perfect for using precuts. It makes a great wall hanging or even a table topper!
Up and Down Mini Quilt Pattern
Set the table and set the tone with our Cross My Heart Quilted Table Runner. This modern quilted runner is just bursting with cute, and it’s a great project for easy-level quilters to try their hand at a modern quilting project. You’ll love the combination of minimalist design and vibrant color.
Once the table’s set, give your planters an easy makeover with our Folksy Fat Quarter Plant Cozy. Transform your basic planter pots with these boho-inspired cozies that use fat eighths, fat quarters, and even fabric scraps to make unique planter wraps to show off your plants.
Stashbuster Pinwheel Quilted Lunch Bag
So, what’s in your fabric stash? I bet you have enough scraps to piece together a reusable lunch bag that’s uniquely you. Our Stashbuster Pinwheel Quilted Lunch Bag is a quilting stashbuster’s dream. Put the classic pinwheel pattern to excellent use to create the body of this bag. This lunch bag is budget-friendly and so much cuter than store-bought lunch bags (and I bet it’ll last longer, too!).
You don’t have to be an expert at sewing to make any of the projects in Weekend Wonders. There are projects here for you, for show, and for sharing. Every pattern in this issue includes a detailed template, pattern notes, and a complete list of the tools and materials you need to succeed. Get ready to make something new and beautiful!
