Challenges

As some of you have already heard...we are missing a few things, and we would love to see our samples back at the store.  Please help us by keeping an eye out for our stuff!!!  We've had a sharp increase in theft - store samples, display items and merchandise have all gone missing...this poster shows a few of the items.  

And moving on...to a challenge for you?  Are you ready for another something scrappy and just a teensy bit smaller?!  Here's the first clue, a few 3 inch star blocks and you'll be off to a good start!

This little quilt finishes at 25.5 x 28.5, and includes 3 inch and 1.5 inch blocks.  The pattern, is Laura's 1870 Cradle Quilt by Quilts Remembered www.quiltsremembered.com.  Hopefully you had a chance to see some of the other quilts we recently featured by this pattern maker.  We still have the fabulous Four Score, large cheddar version on display for another week, so stop by soon to take a peek at that one!  Anyway...we're offering starter packs of scraps and the pattern, sprinkling in a few more incentives and deadlines to keep you on track, and then we'll have another little show in November.  We built in plenty of time - just in case you have a few too many projects in the works, like most of us!
 

This challenge features scrappy and small and of course, our favorite 1800's reproduction fabrics...and if this is just a bit too small for you, we're working on another civil war sampler project that will feature 9 inch blocks and a bigger quilt - so we'll have some other options available soon if this isn't your cup of T.

Spring is really here to stay this time we think - so take a break from the yard work and stop by to see some great new fabrics!  The spring issue of Quilt Sampler magazine is here, as well as the latest issue of Primitive Quilts...and we have Sue Spargo's Creative Stitching booklet too!

Happy Stitching!
