Red or White or Blue Sale. Happy Birthday, USA!


Janet recently brought in this fabulous quilt she made as a wedding present.   

Janet used all Kansas Troubles prints for this quilt then made throw pillows from the scraps. 

The happy couple stopped by after receiving this at their shower.  They are getting married in August!    

Thanks, Janet for sharing this gorgeous quilt with us. We love it and know the happy couple already does!

Dorothy has made several "Fold N Stitch Wreaths" (which we love).  She brought this one in last week to show us.  

We love these so much we finally have the patterns in stock.

We've received a slew of new stuff the past couple of weeks.  

I'm over the moon about the new Aurifil thread sets we got in, especially Jenny Doan's "Heritage" collection.  

Each thread set has 12 big spools (1,422 yards per spool) of 50 weight Egyptian Cotton thread.

We also received a bunch of new books.  I'm not sure which one I like the best:  "Turning Ten" by Tricia Cribb; "Pre-Cut Quilts"; "Perfect Quilts for Pre-Cut Fabrics"; and Moda All-Stars "All in a Row".

We also received a handy reference book called "Quilter's Precut Companion" which is full of nifty information and a new adult coloring book.

Pat has a round kitchen table.  She's wanted to make a new table topper for it but couldn't find a pattern she liked.  

One of our customers came in shopping for fabric for a topper she wanted to make and showed us the pattern. Pat almost fainted!  It would be perfect for Pat's kitchen table.    

We now have "Spirals" pattern in stock as well as "Fold N Stitch Blooms"and "Fold N Stitch Wreath" patterns.

All of my sewing thread is in a drawer.  I dig through it to find the color I need but, it's a disaster area.

Loose thread gets wound around other spools, it gets entangled with other stuff in the drawer (bobbins, pins, scissors), like I said, it's a disaster area.  

I now have hope of never dealing with that again. We received "Auircases" this week.  They hold 12 big spools of Aurifil and is clear so you can see what's inside!  YIPPEE!!!

Frivols #12 came in last week.  This one is "Blue Barn" by Laundry Basket Quilts and is the last Frivols of this series.

I squealed like a little girl when we opened boxes the big brown truck dropped off......super yummy bolts of "Outdoor Adventures" by Quilting Treasures. 

The panel has super cute 'outdoor' and 'camping' motifs and slogans while the prints depict super cute outdoor activities!  

These are perfect for the 'outdoor' person in your life!

can you say 'camping"? YIPPEE! 

We now have 6" squares of Bosal In-R-Form fusible interfacing.  These are great when making "Fold N Stitch Blooms" or "Fold N Stitch Wreaths".

"Row by Row" has started off with a bang this year. Carol made this tote for the shop which uses four Row by Row license plates.  

We asked Carol to use this year's and last year's shop license plates plus two we collected during last year's "row by row".  

We now have the patterns for this adorable tote in the shop.

 I love love love the 4th of July.  It's my favorite holiday of the entire year.   

Starting last Thursday, anyone wearing red and white and blue to the shop received a free fat quarter of their choice.  

We hope everyone enjoys their free fabric, thanks for playing along with the crazy blond chick! 

Happy Birthday, USA!
