Words of advice

Now that the kids and grandkids are back in school, you may feel a sense of emptiness after a fun filled and busy summer.  You may also be wondering what handwork you can take as you participate in the many after school activities.  Debby recently finished a project that will be a great take along project.

"P. S. Don't Forget" contains advice we can all heed.  Debby changed the pattern to create a 16" x 20" wall hanging.  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern (with our changes), fabrics for the top, binding and backing fabric.  Please excuse the photo quality -- we snapped it while we were on the run. 

Our shipment of Wool Works magazine arrived and we think it's the best issue yet.  Of course, we are partial to fall projects but this one is over the top.  We've included a collage of 4 of our favorite projects from this issue.  If you would like to reserve a copy, please let us know soon as fall issues tend to sell out quickly.  $10.99

Several people were disappointed when we sold out of our Pitter Patter kit at the Edmond quilt show.  We contacted the designer and she did a special printing to make more kits for us.  Your $19.95 kit includes the pattern prestamped on Sandcastle fabric, perle cotton for stitching, a needle, fabrics for the borders and binding. If you'd prefer to use your own fabrics for the borders and binding, we have the prestamped background, perle cotton thread and needle available for $14.

One final thing before we close.....please let us know by Aug 28 if there's something you'd like Kay to bring with her to the quilt show in Pittsburg KS.  As a reminder, we will not be at the Springfield MO show in September so we encourage everyone who planned to shop with us in Springfield to take the short drive over to Pittsburg to see us.  The Little Balkans Festival and Quilt show will be held Fri, Aug 31 (9:00-5:00) & Sat, Sep 1 (9:00-4:00) at Memorial Auditorium, 503 N Pine.  For more info, visit http://littlebalkansfestival.com/

See you soon!
