Pictures are here!

Ok, I know that we are supposed to move forward to new and exciting fabric ventures, but we couldn't resist sharing these pictures from the Karin Franzen workshop from the end of last month. Three days of designing and creating ended with some pretty amazing results! Check out some happy artists and a few works in progress:

We hope to have Karin return in the future-we'll keep you posted! On another note, we are very excited to have Gwen Marston visit in May- and we are still taking sign-ups! Feel free to call or email for more information.

Happy Stitching!

Red and Pink

The Karin Franzen workshop this weekend was a success! Karin was a real inspiration and participants had a wonderful time. Pictures coming soon! Now, back to real life...

New month means new pincushion at Two Thimbles! Check out the Victorian Slipper that's being featured as the February Pincushion of the Month. We got the idea from a fellow blogger who first created this shoe out of paper. The soft floral design makes this tool a pretty addition to your sewing room. The toe is stuffed to keep your needles in check, and the heel has enough room to hold a little pair of scissors or a spool of thread. Kits will be available later this week!

Some more inspirational ideas include a sweet little lunch bag (for some sweet treats!) or a darling stuffed Scottie. This festive wallhanging is displayed behind the counter with an addede banner hanging in front- just folded paper and ribbon, is that a great idea for a party decoration or what?

With these fun new Valentine projects, you just need to add some chocolate and it's a celebration! Happy Stitching!

Karin Franzen Workshop

I'm so excited that we've been able to put this workshop together...if you remember her Birdscapes exhibit at La Conner, you won't want to miss this opportunity.

October Birthdays

Happy Birthday to all the October birthdays out there! What a great month to celebrate...birthday cake, halloween...more chocolate, who hoo!

We're serving up petite gateau's as our pin cushion this month, from a pattern by Fig Tree Quilts. These can be whipped up in a quick moment from charm squares and, like any good dessert, you'll want more than one!

We hope you had a chance to take in the La Conner Quilt Fest and participate in the 91-mile yard sale event this past weekend. If not, you'll have to find another opportunity to get out and about and see what's new! We have started taking sign-ups for the Karin Franzen workshop scheduled for next January and it is sure to be an amazing opportunity to absorb some of Karin's techniques.
