Pictures & Moda Fabric

Hey Everyone!

Here are the pictures I have been promising FOREVER....sorry for the delay....wanted everyone to know that we only have four layer cakes and five or six charm square packs left of the Midwinter Reds....make sure if you want them to stop by real soon!  This picture is of a table runner Ms. Sandra made with the Midwinter Reds Line.  Excuse the picture quality as I stopped by her store at 6:00 a.m. one morning this week to take this picture.

We have four matching bolts of fabric from which this tablerunner was made...a gorgeous red tone on tone, a cocoa brown with red flowers, a cream with red flowers and the border print.  We also have two patterns designed by the fabric designers in the shop, one upon which this tablerunner was based.

I have three kits made up at the shop using this fabric, and if I remember correctly, two of them are full/queen sized and one is smaller, I believe.

Also wanted to show you the quilt I referenced in my last email, "Painted Ladies" by Fig Tree Quilts.  This quilt is made with one layer cake and fabric for sashings, cornerstones and outside border.

This quilt measures approximately 70 x 75ish....uses 30 layer cake squares for the butterflies.  You can easily make it bigger using all 42 layer cake squares for butterfly blocks...just increase the amount for sashings, cornerstones and outside borders.  We do have these patterns back in stock if you are interested.  I have one kit made up for this quilt this size (the fabrics are slightly different for sashings, cornerstones and outside border as the one pictured was made from my stash).

I sincerely believe we will have the rest of our Moda fabric in by the weekend, so stop by and see the other two collections, Wish You Were Here by Holly Taylor and Soho Chic by Sandy Gervais.  Wish You Were Here is a gorgeous line in autumnal tones including burgundy, green, cream, tans and blacks.  I have a quilt top made and am waiting for the bolts to arrive so I can finish it and post a picture.  We have received the bolts for Soho Chic and are waiting on the precuts (I am already looking for a pattern to use with  Soho Chic....cannot wait)!  This is a beautiful jewel-tone line in aqua blues, olive greens, soft creams, deep chocolates with a gorgeous floral along with a few geometric shapes....so EXCITED!

Also, don't forget we have gotten in several new patterns, including new precut patterns for those of us who can't get enough of the precuts...

Hope you all have a safe and WARM rest of your week (29...in October...BRRRRRRRRR) and I'll see you down at the shop!

New Fabrics from Moda!

Hey Everyone!

Wanted to let everyone know I have talked to our Moda rep today.....the bolts and precuts are on the way for the line by Sandy Gervais called "Soho Chic".....this was probably my favorite fall line that came out....it includes gorgeous jewel tone fabrics in aqua, teals, blacks, creams....cannot wait til it gets here...

Also found out that the bolts for our fall fabric line, "Wish You Were Here" by Holly Taylor, should be here shortly....if you haven't seen this, we have the precuts in and I am working on a quilt to showcase this beautiful line of fall fabric which includes blacks, tans, creams, burgundy and green......cannot wait to get my hands on the border fabrics.....

We have made two gorgeous quilt kits for the shop from the new Moda line called Midwinter Reds by Minck & Simpson....both  are queen sized and both are using new patterns we have in down at the shop!  I am so sorry I haven't yet put the picture up with the tablerunner that Ms. Sandra made, but it is top of my list this week now that the 15th tax deadline has passed.

For those of you who are part of our Block of the Month Club....I have finally gotten my version of the Tales of the First Ladies quilt completed... I am excited to see what it looks like quilted (I did my quilt in spring colors of pinks, lavenders, whites and greens).  Hope you all are doing great with yours.  Remember if you are having any problems, please let me know so we can help you with it.

Last but not least, we have some additional new patterns that have arrived this week.  For those who wanted the Painted Ladies quilt pattern (butterfly quilt at the shop) by Fig Tree Quilts, we received them with the shipment yesterday so they are now available.

I'll send out a quick email to everyone once the last of the new Moda fabrics are in so you can stop by and pick up what catches your eye.  Until then, be safe and I'll see you down at the shop sometime!

Take care!

Midwinter Reds are in stock!

Morning Everyone!

Sorry it has been so long since my last blog, but this end of the year tax season is a killer.  We wanted everyone to know we have the Midwinter Reds collection by Minck & Simpson in from Moda.  We have layer cakes, charm squares, jelly rolls and four coordinating bolts of fabric.  We also have many new patterns, and some more on the way.  Ms. Sandra (in all that spare time she has), has made a beautiful table runner with the Midwinter Reds for all to see and it should be up in the store, if not already then by weekend.  We have two Minck & Simpson patterns in stock created just for this fabric line.  I will be posting a picture of the table runner as soon as I can get by there this weekend to take it!

We have the precuts in for Wish You Were Here by Holly Taylor, but are still waiting on the bolts of coordinating fabric.  We also have Soho Chic coming in within the next month from Sandy Gervais by Moda.  Will let you know when we have all these in so you can stop by and take a peek.  As I mentioned, I have just placed a new order for patterns, so will probably have those in the shop in the next week or so.

Ms. Sandra has gotten busy lately, so she wanted everyone to know that her cut off for Christmas is going to be Saturday, October 19th.  If she has it by then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will be able to be sure to have it back to you before Christmas.  If you bring a project in for her to quilt after the 19th that you need by Christmas, there will be an additional overtime charge added to the bill.

We are already starting to look at a Block of the Month club for next year, since this year's has been really fun.  If you have any ideas, let us know....

Everyone have a fabulous weekend and enjoy this fall weather!  See you soon down at the Quilting Frame.
