The
unofficial start of summer arrived Monday with Memorial Day. We hope
you had a quiet holiday.....our idea of a nice holiday these days is
getting some stitching time as we visit with family and friends. We
know many of you are dealing with the aftermath of tornadoes and on
going flooding. You're definitely in our hearts.
Last week we
mentioned we would share news of a new block of the month this week. We
are super excited to be offering Maggie Bonanomi's "Village Green" as a
block of the month. Maggie's quilt was stitched entirely of wool but
we plan to use Diamond Textiles as our backgrounds, wool for applique
and eliminate the points along the edge. Ours will be bound the
traditional way. We aren't taking sign ups yet since we haven't even
started ours but wanted to make you aware of the news.
Once we receive our shipment of wool, we will get started on this beauty. Watch future newsletters for updates.

Our newest block of the month, The Ark, is almost sold out. If you've
been on the fence about whether to join, don't wait too long. We have
no plans to offer a second cutting of this block of the month.
The
cost is $12.95 per month for 10 months plus shipping. The quilt is a
combination of cotton and wool with embroidery. During the 10th month,
you'll receive buttons, sashing, borders and binding. No finishing kit
is required. The quilt finishes 34" x 41".
The
pattern must be purchased the first month for $22.50. We also have an
optional thread kit containing Valdani perle cotton size 12 for an
additional charge per month.
To sign up please call 479-372-7403.

Next week we will have updated news about Lynette Anderson's newest
block of the month, Tree of Life. Kay is putting together the sample
and......well......let's just say it is absolutely adorable.....
Our shipment of aqua project pouches finally arrived. If you ordered
one and haven't received yours, please let us know ASAP. Our
distributor received 1200 and has only 5 left so we may not be able to
place a reorder any time soon. $21.50 |

The first project we want to share this week is super easy and fun to
make. It makes a great table cover for a summer picnic, a nice wall
hanging, a cute baby quilt or a great quilt to throw on the ground as
you enjoy summer activities......oh......and you could use it as a quilt
on a bed.....
Your $44.95 "Patriotic Summer" kit includes the
pattern, fabrics for the top, borders and binding. Finishes 46" x 56".
Backing is available separately for $9.95 per yard. |

In keeping with a summer theme, we'd like to share "God Bless
America". Your $19.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the top,
wool for applique, binding, backing fabric and buttons. Finishes 10" x
10". |

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section, we'd like to
offer Buttermilk Basin's newest book, The Best of Buttermilk Basin.
It's packed with all sorts of Staci's creations. 80 pages $26.99 |

We hope all you stay safe during this rocky spring weather season. Hope to see you soon.
