New Fabric and stuff!

We have been busy unpacking boxes and squeezing new fabric onto the shelves - a few books and a few new samples are finding their places around the store as well.  We've got a great variety of fabrics filling up the store - and the options range the color and style spectrum.

It's not often that we get to feature a cover quilt in the shop - but we have Tonya's cover quilt (Stash Lab) on display for a bit longer before it heads to Houston for a backdrop and booksigning.  Congratulations Tonya and thanks for sharing!!

Of course, it wouldn't hurt to be thinking about an Alice in Wonderland project either...if you are still thinking of joining the challenge, there is still time.  And, if you really like to dual-purpose...maybe a costume for trick-or-treating?

New Fabric

We've got even more fun Halloween quilts going up on the walls at the shop - is there a perfect number of festive quilts we should be aiming for?  Here are the latest favorites.  We're thinking something for every occasion.

We've got the strips and strings series of classes underway - and there are spots open in most of the sessions if you think you'd like to stitch up a storm and make a dent in your scrap pile.  Leslie will cover some fun techniques you can add to your skill-set and get a project moving forward.  Lots of project ideas and fun!  Check out our website for more details.  And of course, what would we do without a bit of new fabric inspiration...
