Although
spring officially arrived Tuesday we've felt spring in the air for
several weeks. Daffodils, tulips peeking through the earth, puffy white
clouds and our first sighting of a bluebird signals spring to us. We
are hoping this beautiful jacket weather lasts for several weeks.
Several of you were disappointed at the Dallas show when we sold out
of Mrs Hen Needlecase kits. Good news - they're back in stock. Your
$37.95 kit includes the pattern by Lynette Anderson, fabrics to make the
project, wool for applique and hand painted buttons.
The top
photo shows Lynette's case inside and out. The second photo shows our
version including the wool for applique. We are out of the original
fabrics so the bottom photo shows the replacement fabrics: the blue
fabric is the outer cover, the linen look cream is the stitchery
background, cream with brown is the inside and brown is the pocket. The
new version has brown chickens instead of black.
As many of you know we design patterns for those who want a pretty
quilt but don't have a lot of time to invest in making one. We've
created "A Simply Dozen" kits in 2 colorways: Reflections by Jo Morton
& Eggplant Elegance. Your $52.95 kit includes the pattern, fabrics
for the top and binding. The quilt finishes 50" x 64". We'll be happy
to help you select backing fabric for an additional $9.95 per yard. The fabric to the left in the detailed photos is the binding fabric. |
