Wool!

Here's all the new wool from Primitive Gatherings and Blackberry Primitives! Isn't it pretty? :-) The top shelf is full of fat eighths and the bottom ones are fat sixteenths. Come in and check them out before they're all gone!

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...

New Classes

Whitney just added new classes to the schedule! We have some great teachers teaching this summer and early fall, including Mary Dyer, Pam McMahon, Carol Meka and Tonee White. Here are a few samples of what's coming:

 Check out the class schedule on the website for more information!

Until next time...

Banner Day

The new Jo Morton book, 'Banner Day,' has arrived! Need I say more?

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...

Autumn's Bounty

The pattern for Cheryl Miller's 'Autumn's Bounty' quilt is now available! If you are on the list, you will be contacted this week. If you're not on the list, you can either call or email us to reserve your copy. They are going fast, so don't wait!

We also got in the pre-cuts for French General's new collection 'Fa La La La La.'

 The yardage ships next week so we will have it soon. I'm so excited! It's great!! Pictures will be up on the website as soon as the bolts are here.

Until next time...

We're Home!

We are back from spring market! This year it was here:

 Salt Lake City. I didn't actually take this picture, but there was still snow on the mountains, so I thought this one was appropriate. Being from Phoenix, it is so cool to see snow in the middle of May!! SLC is a really nice city and we had a great time! We saw lots of new things, met some new people and learned a little too. I'll keep you up to date as our market purchases start rolling in : )

Coming back to work after being gone for four days, however, not so much fun. The last two days have been a little overwhelming! I did want to let you know about 3 new lines of fabric that came in early last week though. For you Civil War reproduction buffs, we now have Jo Morton's 'Carolina' line and Judie Rothermel's 'The Bancroft Collection.' We also got in Buggy Barn's new Christmas line, 'Merry and Bright.' The pictures for each line are on the website now. When I get caught up with everything, I'll be back with more!

Until next time...
