Yummy new stuff

The big brown truck stopped by a couple of times last week!  It left yummy new stuff at our doorstep! 

We received five new Moda Bella Solids, two bolts of 1930's prints, three new Aurifil thread sets and a new bolt of "Token of Friendship" by Kansas Troubles.

Show and Tell, new solids and Aurifil thread sets

Yesterday was a banner day for "Show and Tell".  

I love it when little ones bring in their finished work! They're so excited to show off their project and get their picture taken.  

Sisters Ryli and Katelynn stopped by yesterday. They've finished their wall hangings and wanted to share them with us!  They did a great job!  

Thanks Ryli and Katelynn for sharing with us.  Keep up the good work!

We also had regular size people for "Show and Tell" yesterday!!! 

This top was made by Jamie A.  It features some of the fishing themed fabric in the shop.  She used the "lures on white" to offset the rainbow trout fabric. 

Jamie is making this as a baby quilt for a  little girl whose grandfather is an avid fisherman.  Jamie decided to use a solid pink inner border and one of our new solids called "leaf" as the other border.  

She promised to bring it back after the borders are attached so we can see the finished project!  

What a great idea!  A fishing themed baby quilt!

can you see the lures and fish?  

Nadine H. and her granddaughter stopped by yesterday.  One thing lead to another and we started talking about "Quilts of Valor".  She mentioned she was making one for her son who is in the Marines and had appliqued the emblem in the center of his quilt.   

I asked her to bring it in so we could take pictures for the blog.  They came back a little later with four quilts Nadine has made for family members: her son's "Quilt of Valor", a rag quilt she made for her grandson and the quilts she made for her two granddaughters. Wow!

this quilt belongs to Nadine's granddaughter that came with her to the shop.  I didn't catch her name but she said the quilt is very warm!  I bet!  Made with a grandmother's love!

invisible thread, new stuff and Pat's Show and Tell

The big brown truck strikes again!  This time it left behind yummy fabric, new batiks and invisible threads.  

  

invisible thread available in two different sized spools.  

I love this fabric.  It's called "American Heroes" by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics.  It will be GREAT in a Quilt of Valor!

This yummy print is called "Storybook Classics", also by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics.  It makes a great addition to your 1930's stash!

These prints are "Audras Iris Garden" for Moda. They're so bright and cheery!  Just in time for summer!

The big brown truck also brought new batiks this week.  These three are from the "Jelly Bean Batiks" collection by Moda.

I love this batik.  The blues and yellows are intermittent throughout the bolt. 

The "Token of Friendship" booklets arrived this week. These are by Kansas Troubles (the greatest designer on the planet!) and has LOTS of different patterns. Yummy!   

Pat and her embroidery machine have been very busy. She made this burp pads using flannel then embroidered a cute motif on the front. 

I told her they were too cute to use as burp pads!

   

Pat made this top as a gift for her son, Carl.  She used one of the blocks in the "365 Quilt Blocks a Year" perpetual calendar called "Around the Block" (March 3rd's block).      

She used "Wish You Were Here" jelly rolls for this queen size top.  I made her swear she'd bring it back after it's quilted and the binding is on! 

Great job, Pat.  We know Carl will love it!  

Pat also brought in this quilt she made for her granddaughter (I wonder if she'd adopt me?).  She used "Mimi" fabrics and different size Tumbler blocks. 

The solid purple binding really makes this quilt pop!

We opened the Aurifil thread sets so you can see all the colors (we have 12 different sets of the big spools of this wonderful Egyptian cotton thread).  

I love Aurifil thread (I'll never use anything else). The big spools have 1422 yards per spool and the sets are full of yummy colors.
