One of the things I most look forward to is when someone brings in something for "Show and Tell".
You never know who will walk through the door or what they're bringing. Other people's projects inspire me and hope they inspire you too!
Ginger H. brought in one of the quilts she's been working on. She used "Enchanted Pond" fabric by Holly Taylor to make this beauty.

The "Wonder Clips" have been so popular I decided to get the "Jumbo Clips" and bigger packages of the regular size also!
These gizmos are great to use for binding a quilt. The days of pricking your finger on a pin (and bleeding all over your stuff) are over!
We now have the regular size clips in packages of 10, 50 and 100. The "Jumbo Clips" are in 12 and 24 quantity packages. YIPPEE!! No more pricked fingers!

The latest additions to the 'new stuff' category are seven bolts of "Snap Pop" by Moda.
These prints are begging to be made into pillowcases (or a quilt) for a little human!

My quest for fabric to use for "Quilts of Valor" is never ending. Anytime I see something we might use for our next round of QOV, I get it!
This "Indigo Crossings" print by Moda arrived this week and we love it!

I love this collection of pre-cuts that came in this week. It's called "Lulu" by Chez Moi for Moda.
These are so colorful and vibrant! We have the jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm packs and mini-charms! Totally yummy!

I'm a sucker for batiks. I've never met a batik I didn't like! This collection is no different.
It's called "Tiger Lily" by Moda. We received the layer cakes, charm packs, jelly rolls and fat quarter bundles. YUMMY!
Cherry F. brought in a quilt she's making for her grand daughter's Christmas present. She cut out the heart shapes by hand (free style), layered them on top of each other and is quilting this by hand!
I hope you can see the blocks of this quilt. It's so cute! We know Cherry's GD will love it!

Karen C. and Sherryl D. stopped by yesterday. They each brought something for "Show and Tell". YIPPEE!
They are members of the "Saturday Strippers" in Springfield. Each member who participated in this challenge chose a block and made 19 of the blocks they'd chosen.
At the end of the challenge, everyone exchanged blocks. Each "Stripper" joined their blocks using their preferred method! This sounds like a hoot!

This Dynamic Duo wasn't finished! They also brought in the "Deserted Highway" quilts they made.
Karen noticed two of her blocks were flipped. She plans to rip them out and re-flip them before getting this quilted.

Sherryl also brought in her 'Paint Chip" wall hanging.
Participating members of her guild were given a paint chip with four colors on it. Each quilter could add one additional color.
Sherryl's paint chip were all blue hues so, she decided to add white. Wow! We love this!

Linda D. and Miss Betty stopped by yesterday. Miss Betty brought her "Disappearing Nine Patch" top she made (it's a Jenny Doan tutorial on You Tube).
Miss Betty said it was difficult in the beginning but she got the hang of the "disappearing" concept after making a couple of blocks!
We think she did a great job and really appreciate her sharing her project with us!
Thanks, Linda for driving Miss Betty to our neck of the woods!

We love it when folks come to the shop to hang out, whether it's for an hour or the whole day.
Ginger, Shawn and Pat each brought stuff to work on yesterday......but the surprise was on us!
Ginger brought a surprise birthday cake to celebrate Shawn's big day on July 27th.
The strawberry cake was so yummy Shawn didn't have very much left to take home!
Happy Birthday, Shawn! Thanks, Ginger for the yummy cake!
