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).
