Rainy weather....

We can't imagine the Saint Patrick's day Parade without a bit of rain...here are a few new fabrics that keep us happy in wet weather too!

Through in a few solids and warmer colors and we will soon be ready for spring.  The Tri-County Quilt Tour is right around the corner - our theme this year, A Bouquet of Quilt Shops, gives you a hint of what is to come.
In the Beginning solids



Pearl Bracelet basics
And here is another wool felt pincushion for March, featuring the pattern Windflower by American Homestead.  We've got some fun ideas for working with these patterns so watch for a couple of dates for a sit and stitch class to be posted soon.

What's New

We are overloaded with new fabrics...we went all out for this great new collection from Moda - nice denim blue shades and marine motifs.  We have a fun variety of samples coming for this collection so watch for updates on the projects in the works...
Hearty Good Wishes by Janet Clare for Moda


Jazz Jam by Jane Dixon for Andover
Do you have a musician in the family that needs a quilt?  Of course, you could make a piano cover, like they did in the victorian days of crazy quilts - they have a special display at La Conner you should check out.  Sue Spargo has an amazing collection of quilts on display in La Conner as well  - from the fun fabric combinations and embellishing all the way through to some amazing quilting.  The display ends March 23rd so don't miss it!

New Batiks
Saint Patrick's Day ALERT:  we will be closed for a few hours on Saturday March 15th, while the parade crowd takes over Cornwall Avenue.
St Pat is coming!

Sphere by Zen Chic for Moda
Are you thinking about a low volume quilt?  You'll want to be sure and include a few of these pieces in your project.

We hope the snow has left for the season and we can get back to the routine of wet weather and quality sewing time!!

Happy Stitching!
