Show and Tell; Country Road; Quilt Camp; PODS!

Yesterday, Shawn brought in this gorgeous quilt she recently finished.  It was made using a bunch of Kansas Troubles prints so, we automatically fell in love with it! 

Shawn made this quilt to donate to the burn unit at Mercy Hospital.  The appliqued hearts on some of the blocks are adorable.  

We love Shawn's spirit of giving back and know the recipient of this quilt will treasure it forever.  

Great job, Shawn.  This quilt is a masterpiece.

Lora brought in this quilt she made for her son to honor his service in the military. 

Lora bought the panels in a Kentucky quilt shop several years ago and was waiting for the right fabric to come along to complete the project.    

We love this quilt and bet Lora's son will cherish it forever.  

We've been waiting for the arrival of "Country Road" by Holly Taylor since ordering it at market!  

Well, the wait is finally over.  Both panels, 16 prints on the bolt and all the pre-cuts arrived this week.  

We love the country scenes of the panels and can't wait to make something with this adorable collection.

Six new PODS arrived this week:  "Sister's Choice" table runners; three new Log Cabin table runners; "Rail Fence" quilt and "Log Cabin" table runner PODS. 

PODS are pre-cut kits from Maywood Studios.  The quilt PODS include the pre-cut pieces and binding fabric; the table runner kits include all the pre-cut pieces, backing and binding fabrics.  

PODS are great for beginners since all the work is already done.  The fabrics coordinate, the pieces are already cut and the instructions are beginner friendly.  

Which POD will you make first?

I squealed like a little girl when we opened this box courtesy of the big brown truck:  a bolt of "Quilt Camp" on blue featuring vintage campers. 

I love love love this collection.  The panel is adorable, the companion prints are adorable but the main prints of this collection are beyond cute.  

I'd love to have an apron of the print pictured below. How cute are these vintage campers? 

The panel could be cut into individual blocks for hot pads, borders for a pillowcase or apron pockets.  

I can't wait to make something with these prints. YIPPEE!!!

I've fallen behind making pillowcases using new fabric arrivals....until last weekend.  

I made this pillowcase using "Oak Haven" prints....the latest collection by Kansas Troubles.  

I have several more pillowcases cut out so, stay tuned....I'll post pictures as I get them finished.

Holly Taylor's "Lady Slipper Lodge" collection has been super popular in the shop. I've re-ordered something from this collection each week since it arrived.  

This week's arrivals are pictured below. We also have the pre-cuts and panels from this line.

Kayla needed borders for a quilt she's making for her aunt.  After pouring over the sample cards we have, she decided on a Moda Marble called "Robin's Egg" and a Bella Solid named "Terrain Green".  Thank goodness they came in this week! 

We look forward to seeing the quilt after Kayla gets the borders on.     

When I saw this bolt of fabric I realized I hadn't taken a picture of it (or posted it on the blog). OOPS! 

It's been here for awhile, I just forgot about it.  This yummy 1930's print is by Elizabeth's Studios.

Two bolts of "Crossroads" by Moda also arrived this week.  I really like these prints.  We don't have any plans for it.  It's not going into a particular project. I saw it, I liked it so, I ordered it.  

It's that simple!  

Attention all English Paper Piecers:  We received two E.P.P. books this week:  "Pieced Hexies" and "Pieced Hexies Deux" by Mickey Depre.

Our "Secret Sisters" have been very active this past month.  It's a lot of fun watching the 'sister's and the 'sistees" (is that a word?) each month.  

I've really behind posting pictures so, we have some April and May pictures of 'sisters' and their gifts:  

Diane displays two tool cases her 'sister' made and gave to her 

there's a light at the end of this telescoping magnet.  Another gift from her 'sister'. 

Nola received this zippered pouch and card from her 'sister' 

Pat's 'sister' gave her one of our new tote bags!  

Kay's 'sister' gave her a multi colored pin cushion and stationery 

Pat's 'sister' gave her stationery for her April gift 

Crochet Man was our first customer to buy one of our new tote bags! 

Vicki's 'sister' gave her three vintage handkerchiefs 

Sharon's 'sister' gave her an assortment of green tea packaged in a green tin 

Dorothy, Vicki, Sharon and Shirley enjoy "Sit and Sew"  

We love it when folks bring in their stuff for "Show and Tell".  I'm not sure which we love more, what they're bringing in or the stories behind the article. 

Ruth brought in these two pieces she made using part of her mother's wedding dress (1948) and part of her dad's green wool Army shirt.  

The silk background was brought back from Singapore by Ruth's husband in early 1970.  

Ruth placed one in a shadow box, the other piece will be made into one very soon!  

Thanks, Ruth for sharing your family's treasures with us.

Judi recently brought in these four panels she finished.

Pat gave her the four embroidered middle pieces and Judi added the borders and backing to make small wall hangings.  How cute are these?

Janet brought in these three wall hangings she made using the patterns from our shop hop in May.  Wow! We love these.  

Janet said she had to make one for each of her kid so no one would feel left out!  

Great job, Janet.  We LOVE these!  Thanks for sharing them with us! 

Shawn made this baby blanket for her cousin's grandson....just  because! 

Vickie made these texture blankets for newborns.
