We love "Show and Tell". We never know what our customers will bring in. It's exciting to hear the story behind the project being shared and seeing the project in person!
Janet B. brought in the "Dresden Flowers" quilt she's been working on. We love the prints she used for this stunning quilt. Super yummy!
Should Janet get to feeling benevolent, I told her (several times) that my birthday is in May!

Janet's current project is a "Dresden Plate" quilt using 1930's prints. Yummy!
Maybe Janet will give me this one as a birthday present when she's finished???? Oh, Janet......

Nancy O. brought in this quilt she made for her father's caregiver. We love the "Best. Day. Ever" prints Nancy used. The colors are so bright and vibrant. It makes me smile just looking at it!
Thanks, Nancy for sharing your creation with us. We know your step sister will love it!

Kay stopped by a couple of times this week. She brought in the jammies she recently made for herself and her husband.
Kay liked two different colors of flannel so, she used both for her jams. The hubs wanted a moose print for his so, that's what he got!
Great job, Kay! We love both jammies!

One of the projects Dorothy worked on this week is this Dresden Plate block. Dorothy hand pieced this block but hasn't decided what to use for the centers.
We love the Mary Engelbreit prints Dorothy used and can't wait to see the finished project!

Flannel seems to be the textile of choice these days! Ginger brought in this adorable flannel quilt she made for a family friend.
We petted this quilt more than once before she left! We love the piano key borders Ginger used in the middle of each border. How cute is that!
Thanks, Ginger for bringing this in. We love it!

I love the stained glass look of "Sashed Half Hexagons" by Jenny Doan.
We have the templates to make them, I just had to decide which layer cake to use. I finally decided on "The Potting Shed" by Holly Taylor.
After a few mistakes (had to watch the video again) I was off and running!
I've gotten three blocks done so far and am working feverishly getting the rest of them finished.
I was so proud of myself, I had to hang them up in the shop!

 |
| a little wonky (not square) but the fabric is really pretty! |
 |
| second attempt at "SHH" is much better! |

| bragging on myself: I love the stained glass look of these blocks |
