2T in the News

We were recently approached to participate in a local shopping blog highlighting Whatcom County crafters, knitters, and quilters.  I met Teresa Schmidt last week for a quick photo shoot and she combined these pictures and details about our shop!  Thanks Teresa!

Red and Cream and quilted allover!

Have you seen the latest treats from French General?  We stitched up this wall hanging, just in time to solve the riddle...what's red and cream and quilted all over?!

Petite Prints

Petite Wovens

Petite Charmpacks and Mini Charms

Pixelated Heart

This simple heart is from a Pattern designed by Blue Elephant Stitches and uses charm squares.  For our version we opted to go with smaller squares - a perfect mix of red and chocolate?    

It's raining and pouring...

Well this is sewing weather for sure, now that schedules are settling back into a routine and new years resolutions are accomplished (?!).....it must be time for a fabric fix, don't you think?

Lots and Lots of fabrics

We are busy moving things around, putting holiday fabric away and switching out our palette from red and green to more red and white!  We have lots of new fabrics starting to appear on the shelves and more new project ideas underway.

Atelier 3 Sisters

Hearts Content by Laundry Basket

We have layer cakes and jelly rolls for this beautiful Laundry Basket group.  Pre-cuts are a great way to get more variety and a head start on a project you can whip up at your next sewing retreat!

Evergreen Curated Fat Quarters

Paradise

Hmmm...pillowcases, aprons or just dreaming of summer?

Camping Theme prints

 All My Heart

 Ombre Dots

We love the variety of colors and motifs showing up in these contemporary collections - they make great wearables, tote bags as well as quilt.

Clue Challenge Quilts

Congratulations to the favorite clue challenge entries and...thank-you for participating in the challenge and/or coming in to view the projects and voting!  We put all the accurate guesses for the who, what, and where into a hat, and drew a name, so we have 3 winners!

Although we had several accurate guess's and one customer correctly solved the mystery for 6 of the 7 entries...we drew one name for a prize.  Joan was the lucky sleuth, along with viewer's choice winners Yvonne and Maddie.  Their projects are shown below.  

Viewers Choice Winner- Most Innovative Interpretation of Theme

Viewer's Choice Winner- Best use of Challenge Fabric

We loved all the entries and hope you had fun, thank-you again to everyone for participating!!

Stay tuned...we're incubating our next challenge idea so watch for something fun in 2015!

Anticipating 2015

This Pies n' Tarts work-in-progress is coming along...it is a slow process, perfect for savoring the luxury of time for hand-stitching.  It is growing row by row and I 've got a few few more tarts to applique down and another few circles ready to put onto blocks.  Watch for more in 2015!
