We're super excited about this week's "Show and Tell".  Ginger, Peggy, Pat, Rosie and Vickie brought projects to share with us!  How cute are these?

The stunning quilt Vickie recently brought to share with us

Vickie chose flannel for the backing!  

We love all things patriotic.  We were thrilled to get these three bolts of "Home of the Brave" prints by Quilting Treasures this week.  YIPPEE!!!   

Calling all outdoor folks (and those who love them): our 'outdoor' section was getting low on inventory so, we ordered these adorable prints of "Stoney River" by Northcott.  

We think these would make great curtains, table runners, placemats, a quilt or pillowcases for the outdoor person in your life (the fish print is a smidge darker in person).

I spun straight up when we opened the box of Stonehenge flannels (I had no idea Northcott offered Stonehenge in flannel).  I'm so excited.  These are so soft and cuddly!  

These flannels are perfect for a quillow (or lap quilt) for that special veteran or patriotic person in your life.

We also received cotton prints of Stonehenge this week.  

The "Eagles in Flight" on navy and creme sold out awhile ago but the "Patriotic Words" print is new to the shop.  We love the different colored stars on the blotchy creme colorway! 

I see a Quilt of Valor in the very near future!

The "Bible Sampler Quilt" book came in this week.  It has 96 classic quilt blocks inspired by the greatest book ever written.  

I hope we ordered enough of these!  They just arrived on Thursday and we've sold a bunch of them already.

Pre-cuts of "Fleurs" by Debbie Riddle Designs came in this week.  This collection offers dainty little flowers in very faint colors.  

The jelly rolls are back ordered but, the layer cakes, charm packs and mini-charms are ready for their forever homes!

Yesterday was "Adult Coloring Book" day in the shop (3rd Saturdays of each month).  We have a blast coloring, oohing and ahhing over the stuff everyone is coloring!  It's a hoot!  

We've fallen in love with Primacolor colored pencils and already have several different sets in the shop. 

We decided to jump into the deep end and ordered sets of 150 of these super yummy pencils.  

We now have sets of 12, 24, 36, 48 and 150 to choose from....in addition to almost 75 different adult coloring book titles! 

five different sets of Primacolor colored pencils! 

If you've been owned by an Oliso, you already know how wonderful they are (the only irons with feet). 

Yes, this is the iron Jenny Doan uses in most of her newer tutorials.  

The big news is the yellow model (30 minute auto shut off, 12 foot cord) will be available in pink very soon.  

We've ordered several pink models so, be sure to tell Santa Claus where he can get yours! 

 As an authorized Signature Dealer for AccuQuilt, we have all three sizes of Go! cutters (Go! Baby, Go! and the Go! Big electric cutters).  

We don't have every die AccuQuilt offers but we do have a wide variety to choose from. 

Mr. Claus might need to know this for the upcoming holiday season (we know you've been good this year).

Our customers have been very busy! Donna, Susan and Sheila brought in projects for "Show and Tell" yesterday.  

Donna D. is quite the connoisseur of pillowcase making. She's made and donated numerous sets to add to the shop's 'disaster' stockpile.  

She recently finished seven sets of pillowcases she made as gifts for friends and family (I wonder where she bought all those beautiful fabrics????).  

We particularly like the 'man' pillowcases with different fish and fishing lures.    

Great job, Donna!  We know your friends and family will LOVE their pillowcases!  Ho! Ho! Ho!

Susan (and her spousal unit, Wes) stopped in yesterday with some items for "Show and Tell".  

Susan made this stunning "Pinwheels" table runner using "Richmond Reds" charm pack pieces.  We love how the Pinwheels pop against the super light background. 

She also brought a wall hanging made using half square triangles, then quilted it herself!   

Susan's third project was another wall hanging she made using scraps left over from a friend's project.  

Great job, Susan!  Thanks for driving all the way from Arkansas to show us your latest creations!

Newbie Sheila stopped by yesterday for inspiration for some pillows she's making as holiday gifts.  

Sheila hand embroidered motifs on a light background then appliqued one (an old shoe with flowers) onto a coordinating print (vintage thimbles). 

The second pillow was the cause of her grief.  She said she couldn't find anything that "screamed" at her to use as the body....that is, until she came to P-Dub's!  

Sheila found a print she fell in love with (Thanks, Sharon) to use for her second pillow!  

Yippee!  I love it when a plan comes together!

Sometimes, "Secret Sisters" mail their gifts to their 'sister'.  Sometimes, they're left at the shop to be picked up.........which means we get to enjoy all the fun and excitement too!  

Pat's "Sister" left something for her while we were open Wednesday.  Pat dropped in yesterday....lured here by the fact something was waiting....just for her. 

What was inside? A beautiful card and homemade Christmas tree ornament.  Pat loved it!

If Mr. Claus is having trouble with his holiday shopping, send him to the shop!  

We carry all four models of Oliso irons; both sizes of AccuQuilt Go! cutters; a large selection of Go! dies, mats and totes;  and several 'quilting' gifts for the quilter in his life.  

If Mr. Claus is really stumped, we also offer Gift Certificates for "she who has everything".
