Lots and lots and lots of stuff!!

We've been super busy since the last blog post.  Sorry for the delay.  We've remodeled and re-vamped the shop, Sweetness built new shelves as well as new homes for all the Go! cutter dies and several surfaces got a new coat of paint!  Thank goodness the paint fumes were gone in time for the shop hop.  

After the "Hidden Treasures Shop Hop" last Friday and Saturday, Vicki and I attended quilt market on Sunday in Branson (sans my usual Sunday afternoon nap) but it was worth it!  We have lots of yummy fabrics we're looking forward to receiving in the months to come!  I can't wait!  

"Thank You" to everyone who participated in the shop hop last week.  Winners for the $50 gift certificates will be drawn this Thursday, June 12th at the owner's meeting.  Winners will be contacted by the end of business on Friday, the 13th.  

We've received a bunch of new stuff (11 new AccuQuilt dies, 108" backings, a new book and magazine, notions, a new pattern) and had lots of "Show and Tell" the last couple of weeks.  

Kick back and get comfy, we have lots of pictures!
