Free Pattern from thr3fold

Isn’t this cute? It’s a FREE pattern from for a bag called “Hands On.” I had to share this because (1) it’s such a cool project; and (2) because I received some email after posting a note on the Quiltart list about a book/magazine called thr3fold. Thr3fold is a series of 52 page book/magazines filled with articles, projects, and inspiration geared primarily to textile/quilt artists. It’s written by Laura Kemshall, Linda Kemshall, and Catherine Nicholls. Thus far there are three thr3fold books available. I purchased mine for the past couple years while at the Festival of Quilts show in Birminham, UK. But it’s also available from their website. Each sells for £17.95, with another £4.50 for postage (about $33.50 which is actually several dollars less than last year because of the exchange rate change). If you have the extra funds, it’s a real treat. The publication also includes a CD with a lengthy PDF (generally in the range of some 50+ pages) that expands on the various articles in the print publication and includes series of video demonstrations.
Speaking of the video demonstrations, note that the free pattern also includes a video. Windows users, you’ll have no problem watching. It uses Windows Media Player to work which sadly means it’s problematic for Mac users. I’m trying some work-arounds and if/when I get this resolved, I’ll post. Even without seeing the video, I still recommend downloading the pattern.

If you’re using a Mac and cannot view the video, install the Flip4Mac plugin from Microsoft:.
The free version works fine.
