"Because of the Brave"; Show and Tell; Secret Sister gifts.

We're so happy to finally have "Because of the Brave" layer cakes in the shop which means we now we have all the pre-cuts of this great line:  layer cakes, charm packs, jelly rolls and mini-charms. 
YIPPEE!! 

I guess good things do come to those who wait!  
"Because of the Brave" precuts..yippee! 


Vicki W. brought two quilts for "Show and Tell" yesterday.  The first quilt is the "Falling Blocks" pattern from a previous issue of "Block" magazine.  

Vicki made this for the artist painting a portrait of Gracie, Vicki's four legged child.  

We love how the "Moda Marbles" charm pack pieces pop against the solid black background.  Yummy!  

Her second quilt is a Western themed birthday present to herself (using flannel for the backing).  

Vicki's 'gift to herself' was quilted by Penny B. in Illinois.

Our "Secret Sisters" have been very busy this week.

Vicki picked out a big spool of Aurifil thread; Lynn's 'sister' gave her some reading materials; Pat received a super cute notepad set, birthday card, red bracelet and very blingy necklace; Nola received a cute plaque and matching towel from her 'sister'.

Lynn brought two quilts she needed backing for.  I can't remember the name of the first quilt but we're calling it 'pretty'!! 

Her second quilt is "Tulips" (I think) and we love it!  











Wanda brought in her latest creation, called "Butterflies". 

We love the colors of each butterfly and how they
pop against their white background.  Gorgeous! 

She also brought the seven tea towels she hand embroidered.  

Wow!  Our customers are so creative!  "Thank You" for sharing your projects with us. 

Wanda's Butterflies quilt.  Stunning colors

  1. Wanda did a great job on the Butterfly quilt. Had to do a second look. These are scrappy ones that I cut out on a trip awhile ago. Wonder how long she has had them. Wonder if she or any of the other quilters would like some more. I may have to dig a few sets out and bring with me next time I come to do a 'show'. Thanks for the eye candy- cw
