What
an unusual weather week we "enjoyed" since last Thursday.....sleet,
ice, temps in the 60s then in the 30s all while listening to the
beautiful sounds of robins, mockingbirds and cardinals. We saw our
first rabbit of the season this week so we know spring must be just
around the corner. This week we want to share a few projects to help
you get in the mood for spring.
"Easter Surprise" is a perfect
way to welcome spring. Ours finishes approximately 6" x 12". It's the
perfect size for a small space in your home. Easter is April 1 this
year so you have plenty of time to get it finished - it would also be a
fun little piece to tuck in a friend's Easter basket. Your $15.95 kit
includes the pattern, background cotton, backing fabric, wool and
buttons. If you'd prefer to use your own supplies, the pattern is
available for $6.

We finished "Flowers in Your Garden" as a pillow but it would be
equally cute finished as a small quilt. Your $24.95 kit includes the
pattern, background fabric, wool for applique, backing fabric and
buttons. |

Back by popular demand is "O Holy Night" our tree skirt block of the
month. We ran this block of the month several years ago and have had
numerous requests for a re-run so decided it was time to offer it. The
program will begin this March (in just a few weeks) and run for 8
months. Cost per month is $19.95. Each month you'll receive a pattern,
fabric and wool to complete a section. During the 8th month you'll
receive binding.
The photo on the left shows the original
finished skirt; the right photo shows the fabrics we've chosen for this
go around. The applique is wool stitched on black wool; background
fabrics are a combination of flannel and homespun fabrics.
As you can see, we finished ours as a table topper instead of a tree skirt. |

Sometimes being such visual shoppers can be a disadvantage for us.
Someone placed a special order for Elizabeth Angus' book "Cozy Wool
Applique". The cover project is cute but not something that caught our
eye. When the book arrived we flipped thought it......oh my
goodness......this book is a definite keeper! It's filled with 11
darling pillows and table runners. At a cost of only $17.95 for the
book, each project averages $1.63. 48 pages
We are placing
another order. Would you like to reserve a copy? If so, e-mail

Hopefully you're feeling like doing some spring stitching. We'll be back next week with more to inspire you. See you soon!
