Moving Forward

For those of you who came to the store this weekend, thanks for helping us celebrate 4 years! If you missed us this weekend, you sure missed a fun time ... but there's still lots to celebrate!

Here is our May 2011 pincushion. Didn't we tell you there would be cake this month? This cute pincushion is a great size for bigger projects, and with the cake-printed fabric, we thought it was just right for our anniversary month.


For those of you interested in more traditional-type projects, we've got the new issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects in. There are some great ideas in it, and we've still got a few copies left.

We featured some new projects this weekend, and have kits available... including Sense of Direction, pictured below. The pattern came from Virginia Cole of Galloping Pony Studio and it's called Quilt Sense. We switched it up a bit from the pattern and used a four-patch block, featuring our favorite soft greys and a mixture of teal and aqua to create our version of this special pattern.


The quote at the top of the quilt, printed on fabric printer paper, reads 'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.' -Henry David Thoreau

That's a pretty great message to start our fifth year off right, don't you think?

Happy Stitching!
