Quilts, Secret Sisters, new stuff and Tumbler Totes!

Vickie C. dropped by for Fabric Addicts on Wednesday.  She brought in the "Tumbler" quilt she made for her grand daughter!  How cute is this?

Pat S. made this quilt for her daughter using one of the blocks from the "365 Quilt Blocks" calendar and "Foliage" jelly rolls.   

With a some help from Sharon with the layout, Pat recently finished this gorgeous quilt and brought it in yesterday for "Show and Tell".  '

We know Jeanette will love it!  

Pat also brought in this quilt she made for her husband, Ivan, as a surprise.  We love the tools fabric she used....I wonder where she got it???? 

Jacey B. stopped by yesterday for "Show and Tell" with a pink camo throw she made for herself.  It's adorable. She decided to tie the borders.  

Great job, Jacey!

While she was here, Jacey opened a gift left by her Secret Sister:  some quilt blocks and a package of "Wonder Clips".

The big brown truck brought some nifty stuff this week.  The "Quick Curve Ruler" is a great way to make curved blocks such as "Metro Hoops" and "Metro Rings" using jelly rolls.  

We also received "Curve It Up" booklet which includes directions for 12 different blocks using the QCR. 

These are made by Sew Kind of Wonderful!  

When I bought my latest sewing machine, the class instructor stressed how important it was to keep it oiled.  We didn't have any sewing machine oil in the shop but, that's no longer the case.  

We received "Zoom Spout" Sewing Machine Oil with a spiffy telescoping spout making it easier to get to those hard to reach places.  How cool is that? 

We also received "Heat N Bond" on the bolt this week.  

If you've been in the shop the past couple of weeks, you might have noticed the wall of big spools of Aurifil thread.

We now have a basket full of the smaller spools in a zillion different colors.

"Seasonal Silhouettes" by Edyta Sitar finally arrived this week.  This is a great book on raw edge applique but has been on back-order for months.   

We have all 12 of her raw edge applique quilt blocks, so it's nice to have the book in stock again.   

Pat asked me to find some gloves she could use while doing hand embroidery and binding.  

We found Therogonomic Hand-Aids gloves in two sizes:  medium and large.  These are great for anyone who has carpal tunnel, arthritis, wrist inflammation or recovering from hand surgery. 

We also found Fons and Porter's "Klutz Gloves" in medium and large.

The clearance fat quarters totes are growing (and being moved all over the shop).  

We currently have three totes of them (more will be added when I have another cleaning fit).  

Sharon's "Tumbler Tote" class was yesterday.  Sandy made this wonderful tote using fall themed prints.  

Complete with lining and inside pockets, Sandy has a spiffy new addition to her wardrobe!  

Great job, Sandy!  We love your new tote!
