This
week we have several odds and ends of things to share with you. It's
been quite a while since we sent a long newsletter so grab your warm
drink (because winter has returned) and enjoy.
While the shop
was closed, Kay spent a day doing some reorganizing. After we reopened
after the holidays, Darlene's sweet granddaughter spent a couple of days
helping so if you smell Pledge it's probably because she dusted
everything that wasn't nailed down.
Below are photos of the mustard cabinet with small projects, the newly organized pattern wall and the Ackfeld hanger display.
While reorganizing we ran across several onsie kits -- once the kit is
gone, we won't be making more. We will be sharing more of these in
future newsletters. Please e-mail us your choice. If you're not local,
we can contact you for payment info or send an invoice.
The
week we want to share "French Wrens" by Dawn Heese. The quilt finishes
40" x 40". We used a Jo Morton's Gratitude layer cake to make the
quilt. The kit includes the pattern, layer cake and binding. $52.95 |
|
| If you have been searching for layer cakes of Jo's "Gratitude" line we have a couple left. $39 each |
|
The spring issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine should ship
soon. 17 projects ranging from needle punch to rug hooking to piecing
to applique. $9.99
Let us know if we can reserve a copy for you. |

Kay has created a darling sewing accessories series for the magazine.
The spring issue contains her sewing accessory case. We love how she
incorporated mother of pearl thread holders and needle minders into the
project. Your $46.95 Sewing Accessory kit includes all fabric needed to
make the case, wool, stabilizer, twill measuring tape, the mother of
pearl thread rings and two needle minders. The instructions are found
in the spring issue of Primitive Quilts magazine which must be purchased
separately.
The photos below do not show the needle minders
-- they're under the charcoal wool. You'll see clear photos of them in
the magazine. |

If you'd like additional needle minders, we have them available for
$9.50 each. Let us know if you'd prefer Bee - the bee - or Buzz - the
hive - (or both). Unfortunately, the mother of pearl thread rings are
no longer available so we don't have extra to sell. |

Jon our Moda man stopped by on Weds with lots of new fabric. We have
to admit it was kind of overwhelming to be looking at Christmas fabric
right now. The fabric world runs about 6 months ahead of time so we
ordered fabric to be shipped in June. We'll share some photos once the
fabric is updated on the Moda site.
We'd seen the new panels
Moda is offering in the catalog but were quite shocked when we saw how
large the image actually was once printed. Notice the water bottle to
the right of the panel to give you an idea of the scale.....this little
snowman was huge! |

One other item before we close......Kay will be in Ponca City OK Feb 4
for a wool trunk show and Feb 5 for a wool workshop. For more info
please contact Colleen Patterson 580-761-4293. |

See you soon!
Darlene and Debby
