Rain or Shine

Looked like summer for a few days there, didn't it? The June Calendar Quilt should put you in the right mood. The cute little ants and bright red watermelon are perfect for a picnic!

July is all about fireworks and sunshine. We added bright red buttons to the center of the flowers to add some sparkle.

This little project is perfect for a world traveler or an adventurous little one. The size is great for a baby or throw quilt, and it has a pretty Paris motif. To add to all that, it's pretty simple to make! We still have kits available for this one.

Don't forget about the Western Washington Shop Hop, which starts this weekend!

On another note, our Farmer's Wife Club starts a new session on July 5. It will keep you busy making small sampler blocks on the first Tuesday each month. There are still a few spots available, so please let us know if you'd like to sign up!

Happy Stitching!

The Day After

Ahh, I can't say I'm not enjoying a quiet day-after-shop-hop today! We had over 2000 hoppers stop in this year, and combined with the longer store hours, it takes a few days to acclimate and get back to reality.

Although our weather is not cooperating for a summer-time feel, 4th of July is almost here, and perhaps an americana quilt is just what is needed to compensate for the cooler temperatures we're having! This quilt was a hit during the shop hop, and the striped ticking and patriotic fabric from Jo Morton's Banner Day works in well with our reproduction fabrics. Since this project kit flew out the door during the hop, we'll have to get busy on some fresh store samples. Halloween anyone?!

Happy stitching!

Sew It!

The count down is on and we are madly preparing for the upcoming shop hop...2000 people in 5 days is just a bit more than our usual level of activity! June 23rd will be here before we know it.

We just got our shop sample completed for this Sew It themed project - great inspiration for a makeover of the sewing room I'd say! Red and black and vintage flavor all in one makes for a striking combination of fabrics and we added a few of our own choosing to complete the project. We've got kits prepared and some panels and fabrics available, along with the Sew It Book from Indygo Junction, Amy Barrickman.

Lots of other new goodies coming in, like misty fuse by-the-yard, and the heat n' bond product to create your own laminated fabric...Triangulation's software for ANY size half-square triangle - love it! And yes, more fabric to choose from. Hope to see you soon!
