Good Morning Everyone!
I certainly hope you have had a great month of January. The weather temperature wise sure has been a surprise. I don't know about ya'll, but if it doesn't get cold soon, we are going to call this the longest fall season on record!
Wanted to let everyone know that we have lots of new fabric in the shop. We went on a little shopping excursion, and boy did we find some great new treats. We now are carrying the 1930's reproduction line from Choices Fabrics, called Emma Lena's Treasures. For those of you who subscribe to Better Home and Garden's America's Patchwork and Quilting magazine, you can see them on page 87. Come in, and we'll be happy to show you what we have. We have made one quilt kit with this so far, so come see what we have. We also picked up a new line of blenders called Distinctions. Very rich colors from dark purple to red to orange, gold and green. These will make great additions to batik projects, autumnal color schemes or make a quilt featuring just these lovely jewel colors. Stained glass quilt from these would be gorgeous!
We also have several new quilt kits available. We have made a quilt kit for a twin sized Sunbonnet Sue quilt. The Sunbonnet Sue's are precut pieces with our AccuQuilt Go cutter with Steam A Seam already on the back of the pieces. All you have to do is arrange them on the square, iron them down and stitch! Quick, easy and fun. It's like playing with paper dolls again!!!! We can cut Sunbonnet Sue or Farmer Sam out of any fabric you choose, either buy it from us or bring it from home. It is just 50 cents a cut, plus the cost of the Steam a Seam for the back. One cut gives you one Sunbonnet Sue. We also have several different cutting dies for the AccuQuilt Go cutter, including one with different sized hearts, flower and petals, Christmas do-dads, Baby quilt applique cuts, etc. Come in and take a look and see if these will enhance any of your projects.
We will be having some more classes in late spring and summer. Make sure you contact us about a class you would be interested in taking. All ideas are very welcome. Last fall, an idea was put forth regarding machine applique quilting, so that may be an option. We will also do another beginning quilting class if people are interested. That will encompass several weeks. Please give us any ideas you may have regarding classes you would like to take.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week, and please come see all our new fabric on offer. We think you will be very pleased.
Have a Great Day!
Sandra (and her Elves)
