National Quilting Day 2015; English Paper Piecing; Show and Tell!

I've been a little lazy about posting to the blog the last couple of weeks.....Spring Break won out over posting stuff!!  Sorry!  

The big brown truck brought lots of new stuff last week.  We had to re-arrange the shop so everything would have a home!  

Moda "Marble" jelly rolls:  "Warm" and "Citrus" 

Summer 2015 issue of Easy Quilts magazine 

two new Aurifil thread sets 

four more new Aurifil thread sets 

"Fresh Cut" charm packs and mini-charms came in this week. 

eight white and eight black tone-on-tones arrived this week (two creams are sandwiched in between) 

A bunch of the fabric we ordered for "Row by Row" came in last week.  This year's theme is water. YIPPEE!!  

We're putting the finishing touches on our 'row' so, stay tuned!    

8" Scrap Crazy Templates and small clear plastic containers for your stuff! 

English Paper Piecing has spread like wild fire in our neck of the woods.  It's so popular we sold out of several sizes of hexagon papers and had to re-order.  
I had no idea how many different shapes and sizes of papers there were for E.P.P.  No idea.  

Since I have poor impulse control, we now have lots and lots of E.P.P. supplies:  several sizes of hexagon papers; different sizes of diamond papers; Dresden Plate papers; several different sizes of Milliner's needles and two kinds of water soluble glue sticks.  

If we don't have the size (or shape) papers you need, just let me know.  I'll be happy to order whatever you need.

I've been working on a top secret project for a friend and keep putting all the stuff in a pile on my desk (hoping nothing falls onto the floor....the baby will eat anything).  

When I saw these clear organizers I knew we had to have them.  The tote pictured below has dividers, the others don't.  

We have several sizes to choose from to hold the project you're working on!

the patterns for the Side Tie Totes finally came in!  

We've had a lot of nifty projects brought in for "Show and Tell" the last couple of weeks:

the maker of this quilt left before I could get her name but we love the quilt! 

Dorothy and Sharon took Karla's "Paper Piecing" class Saturday.  Here's their finished blocks!  

Great job!  Keep up the good work!

Dorothy has been bitten by the English Paper Piecing bug! She brought in these hexagons she made (and pieced together) in less than a week.

Mary B. was on her way home from a "Red Hat Society" meeting when she stopped by Saturday.  

She was so cute, we couldn't let her leave without taking her picture!  

Thanks, Mary for letting me post this to the blog!
