Yuck More Rain!!



The weekend was nice though, for us, the show went very well. Sold many books, and got lots of new people for the email list, Welcome to everyone!! and the new thread lines seem to be a hit too!! I am tired, but it was worth it. And the quilts in the show were exceptional, thought the quality across the board was high, loved to see lots of handwork, and some stunning color combinations too.


As fall settles in, the weather is getting cooler and it is time to start shopping. Please remember your local shops when getting ready for the "holiday crazies" as my DH says. We have a number of gift items, and even some simple kits that could get someone started on a wonderful creative journey. If you prefer to make it yourself we also have some patterns that could cover your list and still give you time for gingerbread. Watch for the quilt as you go place mat/ table runner workshop we are planning in November. We should have the dates by next week's post.


It is a good time, also, before the winter dark arrives to try something new. If Crazy Quilting is something you have been curious about, then our Crazy Quilting workshop with Diane Johnson is just the thing. Learn all the basics, make a small wall quilt or pillow and fall in love with all the fun you can have with threads, fabrics, trims and buttons. It will run on November 30 and December 7 from 1-4. We even have kits that have all the materials you need, with their colors all worked out already for you if you find that part to be a challenge.
