I have wanted to make myself one of these roll Block Keepers for SO long, and one day while in 'chat', Teresa told us they were SO easy to make without a pattern. So, she posted a little tutorial for us in our Group......
Here is mine:
I don't usually like novelty fabrics, but this one is just BEAUTIFUL! I purchased it when I was in Hervey Bay late last year and had plans to make a bag from it (though I still have enough to make myself one if I want!):

The stripe fabric, I bought at the same time to make that bag......

And, I am already using it! I do have one of those book style block keepers, but that is 'occupied' at the moment (with Truly Scrumptious!)

I made a pin cushion for both ends, though I think it is a little small...... I also attached a pull tab, to make is easier to pull out the stopper thingy!.JPG)
This project was one I decided I was going to make while on holidays.... And, I started it on my very last day lol! I just finished attaching the binding on Monday night!
THANKYOU Teresa for sharing this pattern with us, it was SO much fun, and SO quick too!..... If you all pester her enough, she might share this with you all on her blog???
I hope you all are enjoying your day

PS: I also wanted to say, thankyou to everyone who sent me emails and comments for my Vintage Sewing Cushion.... It has been SO nice! If you are interested in purchasing the pattern or even the kit, I bought mine from THIS shop, Tereasa is very helpful and very prompt with her service! I just ordered my lace, doily, ric,rac last week and it has already arrived! I am not sure if it is actually listed on the site, but Tereasa has told me she does have some available!

Hey Sarah, love this. You made me one a few years back and it always comes in very handy.
Hey Sarah, I am liking what people are doing with this T block, can you share pattern? And if you say No, I say Why Not?
love it Sarah and what awesome fabric,cheers Vickie
Well I must say Sarah that mine looks way more nicer than yours.............It's a towel......hehehehehe. Seriously, yr block keeper looks lovely. I really should make one, then I can look more professional when I take my blocks to places.........lol Well done

Looks fabulous Sarah.. Love that fabric.. Helen and I needed a piece of it for our Girls Day Out quilt... wish we knew you had some.. before we had to applique our own little manequin onto the block!! Cheers xx
Oh wow this is just fantastic. The outside fabric is adorable and the inside just a perfect compliment
This is what I need to make too.. it is wonderful.. love the pincushions that you added...:o)
Yes we all need 1 or 2 block keepers. Ijust love the pin cushion at both ends of the block keeper.
Ohhh, that mannequin fabric is to die for!! Do you know what it's called or where I could get some? Searching through ebay could take me forever!

I can't help giggling at the outside fabric! :D
Can I simply say what a relief to find somebody who truly knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know methods to convey a problem to light and make it important. More people must read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant believe youre no more fashionable because you positively have the gift. slots for real money
