Things
are back to normal on the business side of the shop as Debby has
returned from vacation. She's been processing the auto ship orders for
the Quiltmania magazines. All three magazine titles arrived at one time
so we've spent several hours browsing through and being inspired to
want to make everything.
The fall issues of all 3 magazines
tend to sell out so if you're not on auto ship, please let us know soon
if you'd like us to reserve a copy for you.
Simply Vintage #28
features 21 projects ranging from a hooked rug to wool applique to
embroidery to a stuffed mohair bear. $17.99
|
We adore the quilt on the cover of Quiltmania #127. The magazine
contains instructions for 7 projects as well as photos from the Sydney
Quilt Show, the Vermont Quilt Festival and the International Dubai Quilt
Show. $13.99 |
|
|
Simply Moderne #14 contains instructions for 13 projects. The cover
quilt is very interesting -- we would probably shrink the pattern and do
it in wool....just because a pattern uses contemporary fabrics doesn't
mean it won't look great in our primitive look. $17.99 |
|
To celebrate the first day of fall this weekend, we have made more kits
of one of our favorite fall projects......ok.......we know we refer to
many projects as our favorite project but we just can't help
ourselves!
"Autumn Time" by Norma of Timeless Traditions is
so pretty it is almost a shame to pack it up after fall. We have 2
versions available: one version contains wool to make the ruffle; the
other version contains fabric to make a binding finish instead of a
ruffle.
Your $36.95 kit includes the pattern, assorted
background cotton fabrics, outer border fabric, wool for applique,
backing cotton and either binding fabric or wool for the outer ruffle.
The pillow finishes 12" x 22"
Please note some fabrics and wools will vary from the photo but they will be similar matches. |

In the introduction of her "Wool Applique" book, Kathi Campbell writes
"Maybe you have been doing wool applique for years, maybe you just got
started, or maybe you have been wanting to start.....This booklet
encompasses the basic tools, fibers and techniques used.....". This 12
page booklet is a great resource. If you're thinking of holiday gift
giving, we suggest this booklet, a wool applique kit, package of needles
and a set of Valdani perle cotton bobbins.
$5.95 for the booklet |

By the time you read this Kay will be on her way to the Saline County
Quilters' Guild show in Benton AR -- please note the show is in Benton,
not Bentonville. The show will be held at the Benton Event Center,
17322 I30 North on Sep 21 & 22 from 9:00-4:00 both days. For more
info visit http://quilttalk.org/. |
