GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Who can resist these cookies?!?!?
There is nothing that brings us back to our childhoods like the heavenly taste of chocolate chip cookies.
I remember getting off the school bus and I swear you could smell those cookies as soon as the foot hit home soil.
Milk and cookies.  Frozen cookies stolen from the freezer.  Cookies in the field at harvest time.  Oh my, the memories a good old cookie can bring.
Unfortunately Mom caught on to the cookies missing from the freezer and that's when they were moved to the locked trunk of the car.  It was her final solution for keeping three "starving" children from depleting the baked goods 😆.

I'm not a fan of store bought cookies - actually I try to stay away from cookies - out of sight, out of mind they say.  Hubster on the other hand has alway had his three course lunch - sandwich, cookie and fruit.  He ran out of cookies the other day and the weather had taken a bit of a cooler turn so I whipped these up - fast, simple, very little clean up, PLUS I didn't need to go to the store.

WARNING:  These are likely not good for you!

LITTLE BITZ MYSTERY FABRIC CLUB

JUNE 2020 REVEAL

The June 2020 mystery club packages went out on June 15th .... almost a month ago!

Plans are well underway to surpass this collection and I'm having so much fun designing, cutting and sewing a little sample to include in the July mailing.
Here were a few of the half-yard packages all ready to slip into mailing envelopes and start their journey to excited subscribers.

and, here is a closeup of the four fabrics that were mailed out (and locally delivered).

These beauties are from the Indigo Gatherings collection by Primitive Gatherings (Lisa Bongean) for Moda fabrics.  Three different blues and a cream that blend together so nicely.

 
and, here is the FREE little pattern that was also included in the mystery fabric package.

Each month I try to come up with a cute little pattern that will use four fat quarters.  Subscribers who receive the four half yard bundles have the option of going bigger with more blocks or adding borders.  So much fun!

I'm busy right now working on the July pattern and will be busy cutting into four bolts of fabric next week to be ready for the July mail-out on the 15th.


Deadline to sign up is July 12th!

All the information is on the WEBSITE, but if you have any questions please pick up the phone and call me at 204-720-8272 or send me an email at info@quiltbitz.ca.

'til next time,
