Ladies:
I apologize, but when we were labeling the baggies your BOM kits come in, I just realized this morning that they were labeled as being for the "Farmer's Daughter" block, when in actuality it is the "Broken Wheel" block we are doing this month. I apologize for the error. If any of you have already started on this block as the Farmer's Daughter, just come down to the shop and we will give you new fabric for the Broken Wheel block.
Everyone have a fabulous week!

Happenings down at the Quilting Frame
Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone survived Monday....the older I get the harder those Monday's seem to be.....
We have some new things at the shop and I wanted to give everyone a heads up:
For the last several months, we have had an umbrella quilt on display at the shop. Everyone has had positive things to say about the quilt, and boy do we have a short cut for those who are wanting to make it! AccuQuilt Go have made a die of this umbrella and we have it for use down at the shop.... just think no more hand cutting these babies.... you can quickly and easily cut out enough umbrella pieces to make a queen or even king sized quilt. Just apply your Heat N Bond to the wrong side of the fabric and then place the fabric pieces in the cutter and you are off to the races. What would have taken many hours is now cut down to a minimal amount. Margaret has made an umbrella quilt out of some gorgeous Asian inspired fabric, and she had just enough left to make one kit. All of the umbrella's in this kit are already on background squares, but you will need to actually stitch the appliques down.
We laid out a portion of this quilt so I could take pictures to put here for you all to see. There will only be one kit made as this is all the extra fabric Margaret had, but it will be gorgeous for whoever chooses to complete this quilt. As usual, if you have your own fabric and Heat N Bond or Steam A Seam, you are welcome to come to the shop and just use the cutter. The cost per layer is .50, so to do 40 would be $20.00.
We also wanted everyone to know this will be the last week we will have the quilts in house from the ladies at Quilt in A Day....if you are wanting to see them, you need to stop by the shop soon. I have taken several pictures for those who can't make it by the shop to take a peek.
The Lavender Hill Farm quilt was made by Eleanor Burns sister, and is very detailed with many fussy cuts....gorgeous in shades of lavender and green. We have the one made by Eleanor Burns and is features in the book we are using, as well as two smaller quilts, one shown above using the Harvest Star pattern and a quilt using the block of the month patterns in the 6" format.
Last, but definitely not least, I wanted to remind all our Block of the Month participants that the blocks will be ready for pick up Saturday....stop by when you get a chance...if you have any questions please stop by and we will be more than happy to help you! You can also email us and we will try to help you in that format as best we can.
Also, we have received the first of our new lines of precuts, called Sewing Box by Gina Martin for Moda fabric. These are just fun colors showing everything from needles, pincushions, zippers, snaps, thread spools in colors ranging from white to bright blue, green, purple, orange.....we are working on a small display quilt for the shop and I will post pictures as soon as it is finished....what could be cuter for sewing fanatics such as ourselves. We will have two more lines coming in within the next month, Autumn Lilly and Lexington.
Everyone have a safe and fun week.....
Take Care!

Quilt Blocks on American Barns Block of the Month Club
Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to send out a quick hello and thanks for our three new members of the Block of the Month Club - Ginger, Lawana and Phyllis - the more the merrier is always my motto.....
Anyone who is still interested and is on the fence about joining, please let us know before the 26th of July. I am going to be making kits. We will reserve some fabric for out club members who need additional fabric for whatever the reason. The remaining fabric will be cut up into quilt kits and be sold in that manner (we have 2 or 3 people wanting kits). I urge you to give us a call at 931-682-3746 or email us at thequiltingframe@gmail.com as soon as possible and let us know you want to join if you haven't already.

New Precuts
Hello All:
I hope everyone has managed to stay somewhat cool in this weather....I went out at lunch today and it felt like a blast furnace.....I hate the fact we are supposed to have storms tonight, but it will be worth it to get rid of this heat for a few days.
I happened to look around the shop Saturday before last and realized we were running very low on those wonderful precuts I can't seem to get enough of.....so some have been ordered to be arriving over the next 3-4 months.
There is a really cute precut out right now called "Sewing Box".....it is all sewing themed fabric with buttons, zippers, pin cushions, spools of thread, etc. The colors are bright and happy shades of blue, green, brown, pink and white....I couldn't help thinking how cool it would be to make my fellow sewing friends a carry bag or shopping bags in this material.....we have ordered layer cakes and jelly rolls.
I have two other lines that are due to be out in August, Autumn Lilly and Lexington.
Lexington by Minck & Simpson - this line is in shades of dark and medium blues, ivory and creamy tans from light to dark - very beautiful...when I see those shades I always think of men in general who can't seem to get enough of the color blue...there will be layer cakes, jelly rolls and charm squares.
Autumn Lily by Blackbird Designs - this is a beautiful line of fabric in shades of red, raspberry, sage greens, tans and creams....we have ordered layer cakes & jelly rolls.
In September, we have on order a line called Somerset by Fig Tree & Co....this line of fabric comes in shades of chocolate, citron, rich strawberry red, coffee and light dove gray....we have ordered layer cakes & jelly rolls.
In October, we have ordered two lines of precuts - Rambling Rose and Best Day Ever:
Rambling Rose by Sandy Gervais is a line full of beautiful fabrics in muted shades of aqua, old rose, luscious reds, darker sage greens, blacks and browns in small prints and tones...there will be layer cakes and jelly rolls.
Best Day Every by April Rosenthal of Prairie Grass Patterns - this is for those who like bright and cheerful with lots of primary colors and fun patterns - colors in this include apple red, navy blues, orange, grass green and sunshine yellow....there will be layer cakes and jelly rolls
Finally, in November we have ordered a line of precuts called Crazy for Reds by Minck & Simpson, the same company who brought us Midwinter Reds last year....this is a gorgeous line in rich reds, coffee browns and tans along with creams....there will be layer cakes and jelly rolls.
As always, our precuts are always marked down 10% before they hit our shelves....the layer cakes and jelly rolls will both be $34.95 each......stop by over the next few months and see what wonderful fabrics these are....
Everyone have a great week....try to stay cool, dry and safe and we'll see you next time your down our way!
