Cindy Hamilton created this quilt using fabrics purchased in Hawaii. Typical of the Hawaiin fabrics there are large florals and bright colours. It is no wonder that I love the fabrics and Cindy's quilt!

Thank you Cindy for inspiring us all!

West Coast Cruisin'
West Coast Cruisin’ is a fun, happy quilt with vans reminiscent of the 60s and 70s. It would make the perfect gift for the retro lover in your life. The fabrics used in each of the four vans and roof racks are also featured in the eight different colors of Flying Geese, making this a vibrant and colorful creation. Pro tip: Use the two leftover Flying Geese from this quilt to make a matching pillowcase or pieced back.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel to be kept in the loops as to all the shenanigans going on at the Shelf.
Quilt shown is Framed Rectangles designed by Paulette Eccleston and created by Jan Wellicome.
Tips and tricks, inspiration, trips down memory lane and of course there are bound to be some giggles in there.
The response to her newest venture into being a movie star has been fantastic and so much appreciated.
The patterns will be free but cannot for the life of me, figure out how to attach to the video.
In the interim you can email me to request the pattern and I am happy to forward you the pattern.

We have a Millie and a Lucey currently available. These come with or without the computer.
My opinion is that you want the computer. It is such a time saver and enables you to have a very professional finish!

We have a client who is moving into care and can no longer sew. She has a Kenmore model machine still in the box. Her hubby bought it for her for Christmas a few years ago, she used it 2 or 3 times, hurt her wrist and hasn't been able to use it again.
Being a Kenmore, all of your Janome bobbins and feet will fit.
The picture I grabbed off of the computer.
The machine comes with everything it had at the time of purchase. She is asking $100.
