March Is Happening

The Tri-County quilt tour is ON!  Don't miss out on all the great variety of quilts - now through Saturday!  Our quilt is up, with a day to spare, and the glue is mostly dry....we won't share all of our last minute secrets, but let's just say sometimes it really does take a village!  Thank-you Nikki for the amazing quilting that adds so much to our quilt.  We'll be sharing more photos in the next few posts.  Here is our block, a paper-pieced robin with a lucky clover and our version of April - perfect for today I think.  This umbrella pattern was created by a local quilter from the Seattle area and we have a quilt on display and her pattern available for purchase.  Watch for more pictures of our quilt - "Make this year Count".

 And we also have 33 small customer quilts on display - the results of the Civil War Sampler challenge - wow is this an amazing show - come in and vote for your favorite!!!  Or you can come several times and stuff the ballot box, we'll have them up until mid-April.  And last, but certainly not least, we have some gorgeous quilts on display from Quilts Remembered - these quilts will be here through the 24th, so don't delay or you'll miss a chance to see some great workmanship and fabulous color choices.

 And a little bit of new fun - this collection called "Divers" by Margo Krager - we have fat quarters, bundles and fabric by the yard - amazing purple and rusty orange.  The word "Divers" means various in French, and the patterns are antique reproductions - a bit of a different influence from the fabrics we typically see from the civil war period.
