Due to Governor imposed restrictions on non-essential business we are closed to the public and only available limited hours for phone and online orders at this time.  

This is a tricky time, and I keep hoping for some insight that will let us know when the shop doors will be reopening...and sometimes the more I hear and read indicates it will be alot more complicated than that.  Complying with CDC expectations on social distancing and sanitizing are not easily implemented and we want to act responsibly and ensure we can keep our staff and customers safe and healthy.  So for now, as we continue in isewlation what kind of focus can I put towards a sewing project or five or six?

Of course, there's been mask making, a few projects underway when all this chaos began that got finished...and a few old projects resurrected for a renewed burst of interest.  Sound familiar?  And then...now?  Where to redirect and find the meaningful distraction I need - there are so many possibilities.  All the projects I've wanted to make, the saved photos, pinned items, folded down pages and even a few fabric pulls for specific ideas.  Hmmmm.

There is the Proverbial Quilt Along with Denyse Schmidt...seems like a good idea - I have alot of things to say about the state of Small Business right now, but maybe that would be too big a quilt!  Then there is the not so big Mini Series Sew Along with Alison Glass and Giucy Giuce, that is a little foundation pieced project I think I could round up a few yards of fabric for?!  And of course, there is the 365 Challenge Block-A-Day project by Kathryn Kerr that I thought I was going to tackle earlier this year.

And now with a bit of freedom from shop hours that has allowed some extra time for spring gardening combined with extra daylight hours, maybe I can get it ALL done?!

What projects are you dragging out for a renewed burst of energy and what new projects are you prioritizing on your list?

Happy Stitching!

2020 Cherry Lemonade Block of the Month

It's just around the corner - that 2020...are you looking for a fresh project to start the new year out in the best way possible?  We've got a fun project lined up!  

The Cherry Lemonade Quilt Block of the Month project - pattern designed by Jason Yenter with Cherry Lemonade fabrics for In the Beginning.  

This is a six month project so you'll be done in time to enjoy it this year!  Each month you'll receive a fabric packet and block assignment and sprinkled in will be some of the setting block sewing so you won't be stuck with alot of repetitious sewing at the end.   The quilt finishes at 80 x 101!  You could easily modify this and make a matched set of throw size quilts too  - so if you love these fabrics don't let the size of the quilt slow you down!  The pattern and fabrics for the quilt top and binding are included in the project.  

Pay $30 per month January through June, with a one-time $50 registration fee. Pick up your monthly kit at the shop, or let us know if you would like it shipped. 

You can reserve your spot now! Or put it on your Christmas list!
