WHAT'S NEW TODAY?

We got in a few bolts of batiks, elementals in taupe's and greys. These are really great neutrals with a kind of scroll work on them. Some dots and stripes also arrived.



We also started ( a few weeks back actually) a section of fabrics that you can get at 25% off if you take the whole bolt. This is and end of bolt that we have going all the time. The last day of the month (which is next Tuesday) we still have the end of the bolt on any bolt in the store.

On Wednesday October 1st Candy is going to do a template demo featuring Marti Michell piecing system. We carry quite a few of her templates. Come in and see what Candy has to show us. I am sure she will have some interesting ideas.

GET YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66

That famous mother road is on some new fabric by Michael Miller. Come in and get some kicks and some of this fabric. It is a great looking collection.

Next week I will be hanging several of Yvonna's quilts, sort of a mini trunk show. We will be rotating them over the next few weeks. This will be a great chance to see samples of her quilt patterns. Come in and see her great work. Her quilt class on her new Crossroad pattern is next week. Have you signed up yet?

IT'S MONDAY

A new week has begun. I wonder what exciting things are in store for us this week. It is always fun to see what new collection or books that come in. I have so many new things coming. I can't wait till Quilt Market. This will be my first year. I am excited about seeing what they have to offer for the coming year. Leave me a comment on what you are interested in seeing, like colors or patterns or notions. I am interested in what you would like to be able to get here at the shop. I like to keep you all in mind when I put in orders.

Have a great Monday and come by and see us.

HERE COMES THE WEEKEND

The weekend is here and it is time for sewing. I really get the sewing bug this time of year when it starts cooling off. I start thinking of the cool nights and how I need some more cozy quilts.

The picture at the left is the Cider Mill Road collection. The picture doesn't give true colors. It is in several color ways. The colors are pomegranate, juniper, aquamarine and willow just to name a few. It is a beautiful collection.

Come in to see this gorgeous group of fabrics.

FABULOUS FALL

This was a fast easy quilt to make for fall. It take 1 layer cake and a little extra yardage and you have wonderful fall quilt. I made this from the Fabulous Fall collection from Moda. It has wonderful colors and prints.
The quilt top just took 2 evenings to make.

Cider Mill Road by Nancy Halvorsen has arrived. It has lots of color and prints. We are working to get it out on the floor in the next couple of days.

The $2 per yard fabric is very popular. Ladies are coming in and checking it and scooping up the bargains. We have also put quite a few notions on sale as we are updated and reorganizing our notion wall. The makeover of the store still goes on.

Come on in and see what's happening.

NEVER ENOUGH ROMANCE

If you like red and white this is your fabric. It is designed by Alex Anderson. The flower is a really fun piece. I am thinking an apron would look great in this fabric.

We had a great Saturday. We had new quilters in and they are having fun. We are helping them to get started in this great hobby. You ladies are really getting into checking out the $2 per yard bolt special. It goes fast each day. Saturday was really hopping.

Wildflower Serenade is going fast . We still have a couple layer cakes and jelly rolls left and some bolts also.

Come see us soon!

FABULOUS FALL

Fall is my favorite season of the year!. I love the cool nights and the days getting cooler. I love all the vibrant colors and getting cozy in a quilt or at least be making some quilts.

We have in a new collection called Fabulous Fall. We have bolts of fabric, layer cakes, jelly rolls, charm squares. They have some beautiful fall prints.

We have extended the sale on selected fat quarters. They can still be had for $1 each. Still some books and patterns.

We are expecting Woodland Bloom by Lila Tueller, and Portabella Market by 3 Sisters any day now. Come in and check it out.

WILDFLOWER SERENADE

This is a new collection by Kansas City Troubles called Wildflower Serenade. It has a civil war look to it. We also have layer cakes and jelly rolls.

We have also started a new thing. Each day we pull a couple of bolts of fabric and and they will be up front by the register. These bolts will be $2 per yard for that day. (1 yard minimum) This is a good way to get some backings or borders.Come in and check it out.

I am working on the Buck a Block series for next year. We will have two color ways again. They are quite different in colors and style. I think you will really like them. This year we are assured of the availability of the fabrics into late 2009 and 2010, so we don't anticipate having any problems with the having finishing kits available. I hope to have finished samples of the quilts very soon.

Friday the 12th is Machine quilting class. It is from 1-4pm. Kit will be provided. Come in and learn some basics on getting your quilt top ready to quilt and learn some basic stitches.

IS FALL AROUND THE CORNER?

I really love this cool morning we are having here. Fall is just around the corner. It is my favorite season. I noticed some of the trees in my neighborhood are already beginning to change colors a little. I like fall because it really gets me in the mood to quilt, as if I need any more encouragement.

The machine quilting class last Saturday was a great. The ladies had a good time and are wanting the next step as soon as possible. They really got motivated. Next Beginner class is September 12.

Autumn Leaves class is coming up next Tuesday, September 16th. Mark your calendar to sign up for this fall beauty. It is constructed of a minimum number of pieces and goes together pretty quickly. You will also get some other great ideas. Yvonna always has a lot of info for you.

Don't forget Luau and sale this weekend!
