CHA: Craft and Hobby AssociationGuess what? Mary and I are heading to Chicago next week for the Craft and Hobby Association’s (CHA) summer trade show! This is the first time either of us will attend, and we’re excited to learn about lots of new craft products and developments.

I’m particularly happy to stop by all the booths for my favorite products and see what’s coming soon, like this die-cut machine that cuts without a mat. Or how to use this electronic fabric cutter for applique.

We’ll try out new products and snap photos along the way, so look for a special Fresh Picks: CHA Edition next week! In the meantime, here are this week’s Fresh Picks: little gifts you can whip up in no time!

French Press Cozy

French Press: You’ve seen coffee cup cozies. But have you considered a French Press warmer? We love this patchwork version from Malka Dubrawsky at A Stitch in Dye!

Mini Photo Album Tutorial

Memory Maker: This week at Sol de Eira, Liliana shows us how to make something crafty to store memories. And no, they’re not just paper “W”s.

Resin Craft Molds

Resin Nation: Have you ever worked with resin? Carmi gives a great tutorial (part 1 and part 2) showing you how to get started working with resin molds and tiny objects from around the house. The results are stunning!

Needle Case Tutorial

Sharp and Silver: Store your needles in this handmade needle book made with just a few fabric scraps! Crafty Mummy shows you how in her quick and easy tutorial.

Lindsay

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.
