Buttermilk Basin Boo kit

 

In our newsletter last week, we mentioned sharing some fall themed projects in future newsletters.  We are starting with "Boo" designed by Stacy of Buttermilk Basin.  Your $24.95 kit includes the pattern, background toweling fabric and wool.  We have ours displayed on an Ackfeld hanger, but it would also be cute displayed as a tea towel.   When opened "Boo" measures 16 1/2" x 29 1/2".

"Harvest Blessings" by Norma Whaley is one of our favorite fall wall hangings.  It is a combination of simple piecing and wool applique.  Your $68.95 kit includes the pattern, wool for applique, an assortment of shirting type cream fabrics, homespun fabric for baskets and borders, inner border and binding.  Finishes 38" x 38".

With ever increasing prices, it became necessary for us to consider raising fabric prices.  It's not an easy decision but one we feel we must make in order to continue in business.  Beginning August 1, all regular cotton fabric will be $11.95 per yard (flannel, linen and sandcastle prices will be more expensive).   To soften the inceased price blow, we are having an in-store sale beginning July 7 and running through July 30.   Flat fold fabrics - $8 per yard if you purchase the entire piece of fabric All sale fabric - $5 a yard, 1 yard minimum Precuts - 15% off (mini-charms, charms, layer cakes, jelly rolls) Selected fabrics - $8 per yard, 1 yard minimum Regular priced fabrics - finish the bolt and receive 15% off
