New fall projects

Autumn officially began last week.  We are starting to see the leaves change and feel a chill in the air.  If you're like us, we are getting in the mood for cooler temps and fall activities. Our first project should help you get ready for fall.  The Sunflower Pincushion is very easy to make.  As usual, we modified the instructions but your kit will include our changes.  Your $5.95 kit includes the changes we made, wool for the pincushion top and fabric for the back.  The pattern contains instructions for an additional two pincushions and is sold separately for $9.

Another project that is sure to make you think of fall is "Moon Dance".  Your $21.95 kit includes the pattern, background fabric, and wool for applique.  We finished ours as a framed piece but your kit contains enough background fabric that you could finish as a wall hanging or small quilt. If you'd prefer to use your own materials, the pattern is available for $9.50.

As we were organizing our warehouse we ran across a few more Yazzi and craft bags.  We are down to less than a handful of each.  As a reminder, production has stopped on both these styles so once they're gone, they're gone forever.  If you want one, please let us know quickly by calling 479-372-7403 so you won't be disappointed. Yazzi bags are $34.95 each.  Craft case is $26.95 each.

Reiko Kato's new book, The New Adventures of Billy and Sue, arrived.  It contains absolutely darling motifs....all sorts of inspiration for quilts, wall hangings, and totes.  If you pre-ordered a copy, Debby is preparing your book for mailing or putting it in your folder.  If you didn't pre-order, we have several extra copies and will be glad to hold one for you. 184 pages $42.95

It was a good week if you're as wild about books as we are.  Kathy Sullivan's book, A Change of Seasons, also arrived.  It's full of great projects in typical Kathy Sullivan style.  Great photos and clear instructions.  If you pre-ordered a copy, Debby is taking care of you.  If you didn't and would like a copy, please let us know. 112 pages $27.99

Thanks to everyone who emailed us about our mystery critter.  April L pointed us to a very interesting website to help with identifying birds.  The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a wealth of information at the touch of a button.  Cornell Lab Mystery solved.......he's a black vulture......and as many of you commented......we must of had a tasty treat close by. We will leave you with that bit of info and be back next Thursday.  See you soon. Darlene and Debby
