We have been working on finishing...all in the hopes of starting something new right? These improv bowtie blocks of mine sat around for some time, and finally got to a finish recently. I think this one is "Ode to a Banker", the modern country fabric mixed with a few solids for the bow ties, and a grey flannel like peppered cotton for the background. The kicker is the blue and white stripe 'shirting' that I used for the back. Good to be done! The inspiration for this project came a quilt by Mary Dugan - I've linked to her blog below. You might just get inspired from one of her projects too!
We are gearing up for some english paper piecing fun with Jane - if you've been thinking about trying this versatile and portable hand-piecing style Jane is here to get you started! We have a basic class coming up on the 21st and if you really get addicted, we've got an ongoing support group you can join. Both classes are listed on our
website.

And if you missed the Gingerbread house classes with Suz, we now have a pattern available and there's plenty of time to whip up an entire village before the holidays! These gingerbread houses of wool felt will last for years, no calories and they are alot of fun to personalize.
We hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy the amazing fall colors and find some time for stitching too!
Just a reminder - we're OPEN on Sunday's and CLOSED on Monday's now. We so appreciate your support and business and hope you can adjust to this new schedule!
