This Monday, June 2nd is the day that ladies meet to work on the Quilts of Valor for our soldiers. We would love for more ladies to come a sew up a quilt for our brave soldiers. Please join them for a good cause and some great fellowship.

We have also extended our sale on selected books at 35% off. Come in and see the goodies. These titles are are 1 copy left titles so we thought we would free up some space and pass some savings on to you. We want more room to bring in all the new items. We have lots new fabrics, books, pattern, notions etc. on the way. Keep stopping by to see all the new goodies.

See you the shop. Keep on stitching!

Bargello

This is Brownie's bargello. Please forgive my picture taking. Pictures just do not do this justice. At least my picture doesn't, but I hope you get a little idea how beautiful this quilt and pattern is. This quilt is fabulous! Brownie did a fantastic job.
She did it in Christmas fabrics and it is just gorgeous. The pattern is Lightning Strikes.

We had a class on bargello about a month ago. There is interest again. If you are interested in a class leave a comment. the teacher would be glad to do it again. I posted another bargello in the side bar. The pattern for it is Twisted Bargello. The quilt was made by Martha M.

This is a quilt with a lot of color and movement.

BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS

Here is Bountiful blessings Quilt. Great job Joanna!

This is one bright and merry Christmas quilt. We have free patterns at the shop.

A couple of ladies brought their finished Bargello tops they had finished up after taking the class.

They were great. I will post pictures later this weekend. I love it when you bring in your projects to share with us. It inspires our other ladies not to mention me. I want to do them all.
