Maureen Cracknell Handmade shares her first Fat Quarter Gang a tutorial over at Art Gallery Fabrics, showing how to make her Quilted Pillow Sham. Gorgeous! You can’t see it in this photo, but it’s quilted with a batting so the cover is slightly plush. You can make a pair of them out of 10 fat quarters (you’ll have plenty of scrap left over for other projects). She designed the pillow to showcase the fabrics in the Lillybelle line by Bari J. Over at her blog, she’s giving away a stack of 10 fat quarters from this line. Go to her tutorial at Art Gallery Fabrics. Go to her giveaway to get yourself entered to win some Lillybelle fat quarters. (Giveaway ends Friday morning, July 13, 2012.)
