P-Dub's Quilt Stuff : "Trimming the Tree"; "Be Strong, Be Brave" and "Quilting Quickly" Magazine

If you're a Mary Engelbreit fan, you'll love the new prints we received this week. These are from her latest collection called, "Trimming the Tree".

We received four prints of her famous "Fried Egg Flowers" on different colored backgrounds (black, red, green and white); two prints of ornaments on black (and white) colorways and a linear print.

These are great for decorating (or making a quilt) for the upcoming holiday season.

Can you say, "yummy"??

Everyone knows how passionate we are about "Quilts of Valor". We're getting ready for this year's all day sew-in so, these prints arrived just in time!

"Be Strong, Be Brave" by Quilting Treasures is just what the doctor ordered for this year's Q.O.V. project.

My camera didn't capture the background gradations of these first two prints very well. It's hard to see in this picture but, the background has a slight camo motif going on. These prints are stunning in person. Sorry you can't see them very well in this picture.

The third colorway of this print is back ordered but should arrive soon.

The second set of prints from this collection are more subtle. Each have different colored stars scattered about.

These prints will be great for this year's Quilts of Valor.

We've received several requests for easy patterns for beginners. After much research, we decided on these fabulous patterns by Abbey Lane.

Each pattern is super simple and great for beginners. Most of these patterns use fat quarters or pre-cuts and can be made in an afternoon.

Several of these caught my eye so, look for samples in shop in the coming weeks. What a great excuse to use my new sewing machine!
