happy day everyone!

mom and i hope that you all are having a safe and happy 2012.  how january has flown by…crazy!

this blog post is in reference to the upcoming holiday…Valentine’s Day!  An alright holiday…i don’t mind chocolate–but what i really love is mom’s new quilt He LOves me… just in time for the season of love.  this quilt is made using Rouenneries Deux by French General and Etchings by 3 Sisters and a little bit of linen.

End Piracy, Not Liberty

we as a quilt shop wish to keep bringing you the best fabrics we can and this we feel could hinder that ability to sell via etsy, post pictures to our blog…twitter, facebook etc.

i am not an avid petitioner and sign very few of them, but i feel that this is quite important.

this is in no way political or religious…it is about our liberty.

please take a moment to read through and sign if you agree.

Quilts 4 sAlE!

greetings…

sorry i haven’t had a chance to post those pictures i promised, but i thought i would get this new event out there so you all could mark your calendars.

Quilts 4 sAlE!  Friday & Saturday May, 4th & 5th

mom & i–upon much reflection (and probably the fact that everywhere we look we see quilts) have decided to go through our old samples and offer them (ones that we aren’t severely attached to) to you.  we will be slowly going through them all and marking them and getting them ready for a new home.  i will be putting some on etsy for sale, so if you love something but don’t see it…please let me know and i’ll list it if it is one we will be selling.  stop by anytime to take a look at what we’ve marked.

–current store samples are not for sale–

i’ll hopefully be posting pictures of the shoppe since we moved it around…either today or tomorrow.  also…i’ll be introducing the quilts in groups…with lots of pictures…stay tuned.

have a lovely day!

fig and crumb cake

i thought i’d better get in a fig tree and a few crumb cake pictures, some battle hymn love, pincushions, French General, and a moda bake shop sneak peek before the weekend ahead.  check out our etsy shoppe for online ordering or stop by the shoppe for your eye candy-cotton candy fix!

the lovely red and greens from Fig Tree are such a traditional Christmas theme…with the green a little more apple and not so much pine.  LOVE this bundle of “a Very Figgy Christmas“…

Some 1862 Battle Hymn…brand spankin’ new from Barbara Brackman for moda…this line is so…so…AMAZING!  the colors are beautiful,  old shades of grey, tan, blue, red, peach, and brown.

Rouenneries Deux by Kaari Meng of French General…is packed with her signature style in her signature colors of grey, oyster, red, and tan.  we’ve got charms, jelly rolls, and layer cakes of this lovely line…yardage to arrive sometime in early 2012.

 

Ellen Medlock…2 handled–PURSE HANDLES…these are the new rage!  we’ve got 6 of them left…mom is going to be coming up with a fun new bag that will feature these brand new shoppe lovelies!

 

Introducing–Blueberry Crumb Cake by Blackbird Designs…a line of shades of–you guessed it–blueberry and crust and everything in between!

the bolts!

the precuts!

the lovely little “Baby Blue Pincushion”  featuring a blueberry crumb cake ruffle, new porcelain bella solid, fancy pins, 3D embroidery, and crushed walnut shells.

the MODA BAKE SHOP sneak peek!  our next moda bake shop recipe will be available for download off Moda Bake Shop on Monday, December 26th!  what a great way to start the Monday after the holiday weekend!  the quilt is Eydie A’s using Blueberry Crumb Cake…the perfect winter quilt of blues, creams, and browns.  we will have kits, pillowcases, throw pillows, and a special giveaway all to celebrate the season and our 3rd recipe.  Be sure to check back on Monday, December 26th!

 

and now for that sneak peak!
