Town Square; Scrappy books; Stonehenge Gradations Brights stuff; Sun Kissed; Pink Sand Beach tote kits; Pillowcase Party winner!

The big brown truck was here a lot this week!! It delivered some yummy stuff we've fallen in love with!

We now have both colorways of Holly Taylor's "Town Square": Harbor Blue and Mink. We also received six new prints of Town Square (for a total of nine bolts of this collection).

We're super excited to get these four books by Kim Brackett....they're each full of fun ways to use the mountain of scraps we all have!

I squealed like a little girl when we opened the boxes and boxes of Stonehenge "Gradation Brights"......charm packs and strip sets.

The layer cakes of these were already here but now, we have all the pre-cuts of: Hibiscus, Rain Forest, Indigo, Lagoon, Sun Glow and Amethyst.

I'd barely recovered from opening the Stonehenge order when the B.B.T. dropped off more boxes.

After more squealing like a little girl, taking deep breaths and counting to ten, I was able to calm down enough to hug each and every bolt of "Sun Kissed" by Quilting Treasures.

This collection reminds me of watercolor prints. They're so bright and vibrant. These prints are a little brighter in person than my camera could capture.

Now that I've hugged each and every bolt, they're ready to go to their forever home.

We love "Pink Sand Beach Designs" patterns. They're totes are so fun to make and have super cute names (Cancun, Tahiti, Hamptons, London...).

We're over the moon excited to have three of their tote kits. These kits include the pattern, fabulous batik fabric, zippers and hardware to make each tote.

We love the Brentwood, Tahiti and Barbados kits that arrived this week. We know you will too.

The BBT also delivered two white tone-on-tone prints this week. It was difficult to get a good picture of these so hopefully you can see the paisley and leaf motifs.

We also received this bolt of "Dusty Jade" Bella solid from Moda this week.

Sweetness and I wanted to do something for the flood victims in West Virginia. We can't make quilts for everyone but, we can give them homemade pillowcases made with love.

Vicki and Sweetness cut pillowcase kits then we asked for volunteers to sew them together.

Unbeknownst to the participants, we decided to give the person who made the most pillowcases a fabulous gift from the shop.

Vicki, Tami, Roxann, Becky, Pat, Amanda, Pam R., Nadine, Angie, Cathy and Dorothy made a total of 314 pillowcases.

Our "pillowcase party" winner is Dorthy Jones who made 74 pillowcases.

Dorothy's gift was an Aurifil thread set of her choice. She chose the "Brights" collection.

Congratulations, Dorothy (and thanks for making so many pillowcases).

"Blue Barn"; Gradations Brights; "Town Square"; Southern Exposure batiks, Show and Tell; nifty new books!

If you've known me for more than five minutes, you know I love anything by Kansas Troubles. Anything!

Miss Lynne now has her very own Aurifil thread set. YIPPEE!!! We love the colors she chose and are thrilled to finally have these in stock.

Vickie dropped by with lots of "Show and Tell" to share with us. We love her projects.

Great job,Vickie. Sorry it took so long to get your pictures posted.

Four legged kids (and their well behaved humans) are always welcome in the shop.

We were recently visited by two adorable fur kids who checked out the shop then were ready to go (after a drink of water and quick belly rub!).

Snooks (and his humans) drove all the way from Oklahoma to visit the shop

Kay was born, raised and lived most of her life in Texas. She's now one of us but when she saw our "Texas" panels, she bought several to make into quilts.

Kay made the quilt pictured below for her son (who lives in Texas) as a 'recovery' gift for his upcoming hip surgery.

Kay added nine patches to the panel to get the size she wanted then, quilted it herself.

We think she did a great job. Thanks, Kay for sharing your son's 'recovery' quilt with us. We know he'll love it.

While she was here, Kay also showed off the "Midi" bag she finished for an upcoming trip out west.

Nadine brought in this adorable baby quilt a couple of weeks ago (I'm really running behind posting pictures).

We love the prints Nadine used. They're so cute and just scream 'baby'.

How cute is this?

Cathy brought in this adorable nautical themed quilt today. We instantly fell in love with it.

The prints she used are adorable, the blocks are adorable, the backing is absolutely precious!

We almost didn't let her leave with it but......after hugging her quilt (more than once) we asked her to bring it back when she gets the binding on.

I'm sure she will!

The big brown truck dropped by three times this week. I squealed like a little girl when I opened the boxes and boxes and boxes of stuff.

"Blue Barn" pre-cuts and fabric on the bolt was just the beginning of the super yummy stuff left by the B.B.T.

"Blue Barn" is the featured fabric in Frivols #12 (by Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda) and are much prettier than my camera captured.

When Vicki and I went to market, we both fell in love with Stonehenge "Gradations Brights" by Northcott.

The B.B.T. delivered all six layer cake colorways of this fabulous collection (we love the names of the colors: Hibiscous, Lagoon, Rainforest, Amethyst, Sunglow and Indigo).

The rub is this is an assortment pack which means they cannot be re-ordered. When they're gone, they're gone.

The charm packs and jelly rolls of this collection are coming soon but are also not re-orderable.

We love Holly Taylor stuff. There's something about their color choices that speaks to me.

We usually shy away from anything seasonal but, when I saw these prints, I immediately ordered it.

This week's temperatures (and humidity) have made being outside unbearable but, looking at the winter wonderland scenes of this "Town Square" panel cools us down a degree or two (or five).

We have three prints of this collection as well as all the pre-cuts (layer cakes, charm packs, jelly rolls and mini-charms). The three prints are a smidge darker than my camera could capture.

BEWARE: If you stare at this panel long enough, you might get the shivers!

These "Southern Exposure" batik layer cakes have been back ordered since April. I'm so glad they're finally here.

This is another great collection by Laundry Basket Quilts for Moda. YUMMY!

I'm a sucker for a good book... a good quilting book that is!

We received these books a couple of weeks ago but sold out of them shortly after posting them to the blog. Never fear, the B.B.T. brought more this week.

In my opinion, "Perfect Quilts for Precut Fabrics" is worth it's weight in gold. It offers 64 patterns for fat quarters, layer cakes, charm packs and jelly rolls. Wow!

This is a very heavy book so, please don't pull a muscle when picking it up. You've been warned!

this wonderful book is very heavy so beware when picking it up!

The two books pictured below are by Moda's "All Stars" team.

I'm not sure what the requirements are for being a Moda 'all star' but, I do know both of these books are fantastic.

The "All in A Row" book is the basis for Sharon's upcoming classes. YIPPEE!!! I can't wait!
