Our Little Shop!

We don't even know where to begin to thank everyone who helped make our open house a success! It is a long list, but thanks Jasmine, Janeale, Julie, Debbie, Barbara, Trevor and Austin.  We had help with sewing, baking, hanging vinyl and wire, collecting chairs and even some cleaning.  You are all appreciated so very much! 

We are filling up and converted the laundry/back porch into use for displays and it will be storing some fabric soon as well.  We hung a bed frame to use to hang quilts from and added some vinyl lettering to the wall -- it's a welcoming view when you walk in the entrance ;o)

Shelves, dressers, crates, ladders, doors, and baskets line the walls with fabric, precuts and quilts! 









 

 

Antique Recreation (love her stuff) converted an old dresser into storage for precuts, quilts and bolts of fabric.  Olie made the darling banner that is on one of the walls -- love it!!  It just speaks HAPPY!

 



We have displays for upcoming classes and demonstrations.  This block was made using a Quick Curve Ruler -- hope to have this quilt completed and a couple more sample blocks made up prior to the demonstration in November.  I cannot even begin to explain how much fun this is to do curves -- no trimming required!!!  Easy peazy ...

And here is the pillowcase we will be sewing at the Pre-Teen class.  The class is almost full so get signed up now.  The students get to pick their own fabric for their pillowcase from the shop and it promises to be informative and fun! 

 

These are just a few pics from the shop -- there is lots more to see and enjoy, so stop by soon.  Our hours are Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  We are located a 3472 East 400 North in Lewisville, Idaho between the Lewisville Highway and Highway 48.  And if the photos aren't enough to entice you to stop by -- look for our coupon in The Jefferson Star ;o) (good for now through October 20th)

Chevy Daze for a baby girl

This week I pieced together and quilted a Chevy Daze pattern for a customer. She was giving it as a gift today at a baby shower.  This fabric is "Spring House" by Moda.  It is so soft and feminine.  Rather than just quilt the Chevron in the center, I added a little ruffly border to each one.  Love the way it turned out.  If you look close you can see it on the back.

I love flowers too -- see my sweet hollyhock in the background -- matches perfect.
 

It started raining right when I was ready to take pictures or I would have tried to get a better close up of the front.  Being it turned into a rainy day here I spent more time in my quilting room and straightening the shop some.  We have this sweet little vintage wooden ironing board that we are using for a display.  Thought I would share a picture of it -- matches the Mimi yardage perfect.

Vintage ironing board stacked with quilts, fat quarters, jelly rolls and yardage.
Scrap baskets on the floor as well as a cute yellow bucket filled with Sasparilla fat quarter bundles.

I think I am going to sit down tonight, put my feet up and do some stitching.  These patterns for dish towels came in this week and I can't wait to make one up.  Which one would you make?  Animal Stackers or Fresh Picked, I love them both. Hmmmm.....

Happy sewing or stitchin' or whatever you are doing this weekend!
