Fun spring inspiration

We hate to start off our weekly newsletter with not so good news but many of you are waiting for an update.  Remember late last year/early this year when we started taking pre-orders for the Moda sewing clocks?  We were told several times to expect shipment in April.  Well......it's April so we called Moda to check on the status of our shipment.  Oh my gosh!  Moda didn't get as many clocks as they ordered and some arrived damaged so after the big accounts got theirs there was not enough for the little guys.  We are so frustrated and disappointed.  We have expressed our disappointment but don't expect we will ever see any of our order.  If you pre-paid for your clock(s), Debby will refund your money.

On a happy note.....we still love Moda and will continue to carry their beautiful fabrics.

We feel like a little guppy compared to the big whale.

Debby has been in the springtime mood and created the cutest table runner.  Your $17.95 "Spring's Promise" runner includes the pattern, fabrics for the top and binding.  It finishes 12 1/2" x 33".

In keeping with a spring theme, we'd like to share some of the cutest needle threaders we've seen.  We've tried them and they work very well.  The hummingbird beak is the threader - when it's not in use it's covered with the protective plastic cover.  A thread cutter is included at the base of the head.  $2.95 each -- your choice of pink, green or blue.

Kay returned from a very fun teaching/trunk show experience at Pittsburg KS.  We love it when she comes home because as she unpacks she always organizes and spiffs up the shop.  She decided to hang Norma Whaley's "Sweet and Simple" quilt on our tall wall.  She sold out of books in Pittsburg but we have more on the way.  Let us know if we can reserve one for you.......yes.......we know we will get them.  $34

This week for our "when it's gone, it's gone" section we are featuring a cute wall hanging.  Your $12.95 "Best Things" kit includes the pattern, fabric and wool to make the sweet little wall hanging.  We have only one kit left so don't delay if you want it.

Hope we see you soon! Darlene and Debby
