Simply Vintage arrived

By the time you read this, Darlene and Kay will be on their way to Tulsa to the Green Country Quilters' show.  They've packed several new projects and are excited to hear your reaction to them.  Packing for a quilt show is always challenging -- we know we can't fit everything in our little booth space so have to make tough decisions.  Hopefully we chose properly and you're oooohhhing and aaaahhhing.  We are super excited the summer issue of Simply Vintage arrived...... ........as always, it's full of great projects......but we absolutely love Pinwheels and Posies.  Perhaps we are a bit biased since it is our creation.  Kits should be ready by early next week and we'll be happy to reserve one for you.  $76.95 The photo below is our working photo - Guy, the Quiltmania photographer, has done a beautiful job photographing our quilt. Our Mrs Hen sewing kits are back in stock.  Like some of you we sometimes get lazy about our sewing kit and just throw everything in a Ziploc bag....but it's so much more fun to have everything nicely organized in a pretty sewing case.  Lynette has done a fabulous job on the pattern explaining exactly how to stitch and construct both the sewing case and the scissors case. Your $37.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the case, wool for applique, and the 2 hand painted bee buttons. If you'd prefer to use your own materials, we have the pattern available for $16 and the Busy Bee buttons for $9.   While she was at quilt market, Kay picked up copies of Primitive Gatherings' newest book, Christmas Gatherings.  The book is beautifully photographed and contains full size templates.  Best of all, it's spiral bound so lays completely flat.  Let us know if we can reserve a copy for you.  $28 Debby and Kay's niece, Erin, will be minding the store today and Saturday.  While you're out and about, why not plan a trip out to the shop.  They'd love to show you the new Simply Vintage magazine.  See you soon.
