Quilt Magic ~ No Sewing!

I love quilts and quilting! It is an art form that has unending possibilities, and one day I will learn how to sew well enough to even attempt it. :)

A few years ago, Melanie and I were in a neat shop in Estes Park that had these wonderful 3-D quilts that had the words No Sew on them. Well we both scurried right over to the display and found these wonderful kits!

The company is called Quilt Magic and they are so much fun! All you do is cut out the fabric pieces in the kit and use a butter knife to push the fabric into the lazer cut patterns in the special foam forms.

Melanie and I bought the kits and even substituted some of the fabrics with our own from our stash of vintage scraps.





The patterns are wonderful! You can find everything from tradtional quilt patterns to mountain and holiday scenes. You name it, they have it!



I had so much fun making all of them. The whole process is relaxing and rewarding. It would be a fun activity to do with kids too.

Please let me know if you try one. I would love to see!
