Spring cuteness!

You may recall last week we shared photos of the shop and encouraged you to let us know if there was something you spotted that you might have to have.  Several commented about Kay's quilt, Floral Elegance.  This reminded us we failed to share this beauty with you.

Your $104.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics for the quilt top and binding.  Your kit contains instructions for cutting so you don't have to piece any of the long strips.  There's a couple of advantages to not piecing the strips:  the pattern on the fabric is allowed to flow beautifully and cutting on the fabric length reduces stretch.  The quilt finishes 67 1/2" x 81".

If you'd prefer to use your own fabric, the pattern is available for $9.

The "1805 Pillow" makes a nice complementary piece to the quilt.  Your $36.95 pillow kit includes the pattern, fabric for the pillow top and backing fabric.  You supply the pillow form.  Finishes 19" x 40". If you'd prefer to use your own supplies, the pattern is available for $9.

Debby has been very busy stitching -- we'll share one sample today and several others next week.  We love what she did Bonnie Sullivan's "Sampler" pattern.  Your $17.95 kit includes the pattern, preprinted fabric, wool, backing fabric, binding and darling red buttons for embellishment.   Finishes 10" x 12" You'll note we said preprinted fabric -- yes.....Bonnie has created the most amazing fabric with the embroidery portion preprinted.  Debby plans to do more of these projects and we'll share them as she gets them stitched.

Darlene has also been a busy bee.  "Mr Bunny" is one of the cutest spring pieces we've seen in a long time.   It finishes 21 1/2" x 27 1/2" so is the perfect size for display in a small area or perhaps on a door.  Your $38.95 kit includes the pattern, background fabrics (Diamond Textiles), stitchery stabilizer, borders, binding and wool for applique.  Backing fabric is available separately. If you'd prefer to use your own supplies, the pattern is available for $12.95. We also are offering a thread kit for $17.95.  It contains Valdani perle cotton size 12.

If you've been on social media lately you've likely heard about the new wool pressing mats.  Since we wanted to try them out for ourselves, we ordered a couple.  We have one at the shop and invite you to stop in and give it a try.  After your test drive we'll be happy to special order one for you. 12" x 18" - $48.95

Last but not least.......we are so excited about our upcoming vending season.  Our season opens with the Quilters Guild of Dallas show Mar 9-11.  Please let us know by March 5 if you'd like us to bring anything special for you.  The show will be held at the Dallas Market Hall, 2200 Stemmons Freeway.  Show hours are 10-5 Fri & Sat and 12-5 Sunday.  For more info visit http://quiltersguildofdallas.org/default.aspx Just a few weeks later, we will be in Cassville MO at the Ozark Country Quilters Guild show.  It will be held at Crowder College, 4020 N Main, April 6 (9:00-6:00) and 7 (9:00-4:00).  For more info contact Karla Kuklaw at 417-847-7468.
