Side Tie Totes; In-R-Form; Secret Sisters and lots of new stuff!

Karen's "Side Tie Tote" class was a great success yesterday. Jo, Dorothy, Sandy and Sharon each completed their tote just in time for "Show and Tell".

Karen will be teaching this class again in April if you'd like to make your own super cute tote (or for the quilter in your life).

Great job Jo, Dorothy, Sandy and Sharon! We love your totes.

Sherry stopped by yesterday and brought her version of a "Side Tie Tote" she'd previously made. She wanted to show Karen's class the smaller version of the tote they were making.

We love Sherry's smaller version too! It's so cute!

While she was here, Sherry also showed us the small runner she recently made using leftover scraps from other projects. When she was finished with the top, she quilted it using her sewing machine.

This is no small feat for Sherry. The first time we met her she proclaimed to be 'just a stitcher, not a quilter' because she loves doing hand embroidery.

We love Sherry's runner and think she did a great job quilting it.

Both Fed Ex and the big brown trucks were here this week. They left lots of boxes full of nifty new stuff!

We received a bunch of Go! cutter dies; Quick Curve Ruler patterns; new jelly rolls; 6 bolts of "Token of Friendship" prints by Kansas Troubles, two sizes of In-R-Foam Plus; and Soft and Stable Project Packs in white and black.

Whew! That's a lot of stuff!

The shop's mascot, Miss Gracie and her human, Vicki, stopped by yesterday. Gracie really is our door greeter, welcoming everyone who comes in while she's here.

While they were here, Vicki received a gift certificate from her Secret Sister for one yard of fabric from the shop (which she immediately used) and Gracie greeted our customers!

This round of Secret Sisters will soon be coming to an end. Not everyone can make it to the banquet so, we arranged a mini reveal party yesterday at the shop.

Vicki has been Nola's Secret Sister for the past six months but can't make it to the party on Valentine's Day.

Yesterday, Vicki 'revealed' her identity to Nola yesterday with a gift certificate to the shop.

JoAnn and Kay also received gifts from their Secret Sisters yesterday: JoAnn received a hand embroidery pattern and stamped linen; Kay received a gift certificate to the shop.

Clara's Garden; Fresh Air, Underground Railroad; April's first quilt

Cathy brought in the "Scrap Crazy" quilt she recently made using the 8" Scrap Crazy templates and a "1930's Playtime" layer cake.

Cathy also used a "1930's Playtime" print for the backing of her quilt and decided to tie it when she was finished!

Great job, Cathy. We love the 1930's prints.

Vickie brought in her versions of Bonnie Hunter's "Grand Illusion" mystery quilt. We love all the colors.

After completing the first one, Vickie decided to make a smaller version using different prints. Yummy!

Karla made this quilt using mystery blocks from a shop hop she participated in a couple of years ago.

How cute is this. We love the blocks and the color arrangement.

Karla said she's keeping this one for herself! We don't blame her!

Fellow shop hop owner, April, dropped by yesterday to find more fat quarters for her VERY FIRST QUILT!

This is a major accomplishment for April (who says she can't sew on a button!).

She calls it her shabby-chic quilt because she used flannel, chenille, cotton and other textures. She's using the "quilt as you go" method.

April didn't want me to take a picture of her quilt saying it wasn't good enough for the blog. Oh, please! As you can see, I was able to sweet talk her into letting me document the occasion with a photo!

April, we're so proud of you. Keep up the good work and bring back your shabby-chic quilt when it's finished.

You go, girl!

April's first quilt! YIPPEE!!!

Pat brought in this batik block she made using the pattern from the cover of "Easy Quilts" Fall 2014 magazine.

She is deciding how big to make her quilt....queen or king....so, stay tuned. We'll keep you updated.

Yesterday was the first of two "Quick Curve Ruler" classes. Dorothy, Sharon, Jo and Juanita had sew much fun!

Juanita wasn't able to finish her block but will bring it in when she gets it done.

We love the different prints everyone chose and how they pop against the backgrounds.

After posing for pictures, Sharon opened the gift left by her Secret Sister: a super cute pink purse filled with 80 miniature quilt blocks and an adorable card.

The big brown truck dropped off more stuff this week. We're trying to find homes for everything so please, excuse our mess!

We received another bolt of "Kansas Troubles Favorites" on red; Fiesta stripe toweling; "Underground Railroad" book by Eleanor Burns; bolts of "Fresh Air" by American Jane for Moda; "Fresh Air" precuts: layer cakes, charm packs, jelly rolls and mini-charms; "Clara's Garden" pre-cuts and 6 prints of it's fabric on the bolt. YIPPEEE!!!
