First, the winter edition of the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine was delivered. It's full of great projects by lots of talented designers! These sell fast so hurry in!

Second, the kit for these adorable 9" stockings from Primitive Gatherings came yesterday.

Alice made them and they are hanging in the Shoppe so come in and see them. They are too cute to miss!

Until next time...

Back from Montana!

Sorry I haven't written in awhile, but we just got back last night from a week in Bozeman, Montana. We went for my cousin's wedding, but we definitely made a vacation out of it! We fly fished, hiked, shot clay pigeons in my uncle's backyard, hung out with family, ate good food (bison burgers are my new favorite) and of course, visited some quilt shops :-) Just to give you an idea of how beautiful Bozeman is, here is the view from my uncle's backyard

  (that's a garden and horses grazing in the background)

The weather was gorgeous! It was nice and cool and it rained for about an hour most afternoons. It made it really difficult to come back to the hot dry weather here.


Although it's hard to come back after such a fun week off, we did come back to work today to a few goodies. The new French General line 'Fa La La La La' arrived, as did some more wool from Primitive Gatherings and Blackberry Primitives! That makes for a pretty fun welcome back if you ask me!

Until next time...

Summer Projects

Whitney and I have both been working on samples for the Shoppe over the past week. Shocking, I know! She just finished piecing this small wall hanging called 'Georgette's Snowflakes.'

It's made using Anna Griffin's fabric, Georgette Christmas. Kits will be available here at the Shoppe!

Meanwhile, I've been working on this kit from Primitive Gatherings that I picked up at market. I have the letters stitched down, so now onto the stems and pot!

It should look like this when it's done...

Kits of this one will be available soon.

I also wanted to let you know that we did get in some wool that we ordered at market. We still need to felt it, but it's so pretty that I wanted to show you a small sampling.

Until next time...

Sample Mood

Something came over me sometime around the middle of last week, and I was suddenly in the mood to make up some store samples. Nothing too big or complicated, just quick and easy. I decided on some new tea towels. We have had the same ones hanging up by the register for awhile now and we recently got in some cute tea towel patterns by Primitive Gatherings, so how could I resist? Each pattern contains instructions for six different tea towels, so I picked my favorite from each. They are not yet stitched down, but I figure that since I picked out the towels and fabrics, traced the designs onto Steam-a-Seam, and ironed everything down, it's only fair that my mom or Whitney do the stitching. That of course means that they will never get done, but this should give you a good idea of what they're supposed to look like:



We also decided late last week that kits for the Diamond Delight table runner would be a cute idea and since we now have the Holiday Flourish 3 collection, it worked out perfectly! Now we have these:



Which make up a version of this:



Until next time...

P.S. Perfect timing! The UPS man just came in and delivered the 'Punctuation' line from Moda. It's an adorable collection of 1930s reproduction prints. Check the website for pictures.
