Mark your calendar

If you keep up with the quilting world, you're probably aware the spring quilt market is just around the corner May 19-21 in St Louis.  We've thought a lot about whether we should go and decided to sit this one out.....instead we plan to have an open house party on Saturday, May 20 (9:00-3:00).  We will have refreshments, several new projects to share with you, Kay will be available for her Apliquick demo and we're planning to have some items on sale. We'll also be sharing a preview of our newest block of the month......it's looking really pretty and we're so excited you'll be the first to see it.  Hope you'll mark your calendar and plan to stop by.

If you're anything like us, you'll fall in love with the tins we recently received.  These would make a great gift for your Mom, grandma, your child's crafty teacher, your Sunday school teacher, your stitching pal....you get the idea......they're a fun little gift.  Give them empty or give them filled with chocolate, hard candy, paper clips, sewing pins, or......you get the idea.....they're just a fun gift. Tins measure 2" x 3" and each is $2.25.  At that price, you may want to buy a set for yourself.  When you order, please give Debby the tin # (or #s) and she'll reserve them for you.   We love the sentiment expressed on the "Heart and Home" tablerunner:  "May your heart and home be filled with peace".  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, fabric for the top, wool for applique and binding.  It finishes 12" x 26". Please note your fabrics may vary slightly from our sample. We received our shipment of Robin Vizonne's new book "Peculiar Primitives" and haven't been able to put it down.  It's filled with 12 unique projects that scream primitive.  You may remember our cute sheep $10 block of the month last year -- Robin designed that project.  The book is 80 pages with pull out patterns.  $25.95  Let us know if we can reserve a copy for you. We have more to share but better close and get back to sewing and cutting kits.  See you soon. Darlene and Debby
