When you come into Little Quilts, be sure to see this wonderful quilt made by our own Linda Rice, from The Nautical Collection pattern by Jeri Kelly ($9). Aren't the lighthouses adorable? The pattern includes wall hanging 56x56", table topper 11x28-1/2", and pillow 14x14". Make this quilt as a reminder of how much you love the sea and how fondly you remember your ocean vacations.

There is always a large selection of Americana fabric at Little Quilts, including the Old Glory III line just now. Below is Nautical Santa manning the helm in the patriotic fabric section ($99.95).

The Prairie Paisley Quilt above is 35x40"; pattern free with purchase of a Prairie Paisley layer cake that has 40 fabrics, $30.

What's New at Little Quilts

When you come into Little Quilts, be sure to see the sweetest example of hand embroidery that is behind the register (see below): Aunt Bea's Parlor. The sample is here from the designer, Judy Reynolds; pattern available at $15. The quilt measures 47x56" and has twenty 6" blocks; each block is a different basket design, each in multi-colored hand embroidery - so pretty and nostalgic.


Little Quilts has another sample from the book Better by the Dozen, by Susan Teegarden Dissmore ($24.95). Twelve blocks, twelve quilts, endless possibilities. Follow a block of the month format to make these gorgeous quilts at a pace that suits your schedule. There are interchangeable block frames as well. Also you will find tips for making each quilt as a block of the month project:

Kathy Niemann and Barbara Barnes continue to treat Little Quilts Primitive Devotees with more Primitive Gatherings classes.
