New Precuts in at the Quilting Frame!
Hello All:
Well....we are two days away from our last hurrah of Summer.....it seems like this summer passed in the blink of an eye....however, with the extremely hot weather we have had of late, I am sincerely looking forward to the Fall.....
We received our new precuts in last weekend....Autumn Lily from Blackbird Designs. This line is a beautiful floral for which Blackbird Design is known so well in muted reds, old rose, sage greens, soft French country blues, milk chocolate and creams....gorgeous to the last piece! We are working on a display piece for the shop.....maybe over this long Holiday weekend we can get it finished.
Also, we have received the bolts in for the Lexington Line by Minck & Simpson....
The top one is a beautiful paisley and floral print on a cream background. The second is a blue diamond on a medium tan background and we also chose a simple light cream background with medium blue stars.
We have marked a few bolts and precuts from Moda down 20% to make room for the other precuts we have coming in over the next 6-8 weeks....we have two layer cakes and three charm packs of the Soho Chic line by Sandy Gervais as well as two bolts which are also marked down 20% off....
Alright, I wanted everyone to see the new line we have in called "Sewing Box" by Gina Martin for Moda....if you have friends who are also sewing or quilting enthusiasts, then this is the fabric for you...bright, colorful, cheerful....I have made a small lap quilt using one layer cake and some purple texture for border fabric. The pattern is called Dessert Time....
This fabric is so cute with all things sewing related....it would make cute bags, quilts, curtains, pin cushions, sewing machine covers....the perfect fabric to make that special sewing friend something wonderful (or you can always make it just for yourself...we won't tell....).
Well, that's all for this update on what's new down at the Quilting Frame....please stop by and see us this weekend if you are out our way....also, be on the lookout on the blog for news regarding upcoming classes as well as.....perhaps....our Fall Sale (I do love that four letter word)!
Everyone have a safe and fun Labor Day Holiday and we hope to see you soon!

| This is a "Dancing Umbrella" quilt made out of the Soho Chic line using Layer Cakes and Yardage. |
We also have two layer cakes left of the line by Holly Taylor called "Wish You Were Here"...
This is a gorgeous line of fall colored fabrics in burgundy reds, deep green, browns, tans and creams....these are also marked off 20%.
This fabric is so cute with all things sewing related....it would make cute bags, quilts, curtains, pin cushions, sewing machine covers....the perfect fabric to make that special sewing friend something wonderful (or you can always make it just for yourself...we won't tell....).

Lexington by Minck & Simpson in at the Quilting Frame
Morning All:
I know I have said this before, but it seems the older I get the shorter my weekends seem to be.....
I wanted to show everyone some samples we have been working on down at the shop made from our newest precuts, "Lexington" by Minck & Simpson. This is a beautiful line of fabrics in tones of blues, creams, and tans. We have layer cakes and charm squares available at the shop right now...we sold all the jelly rolls, but have placed an order for more and are hoping we will get these in as well. In addition, we have ordered three bolts of coordinating fabric to go with this line which we hope will be in shortly....as soon as the bolts get in we can put final borders on these three sample pieces. The pattern is one from Quilt In A Day called "Twice as Nice"....all three of these were made from one Jelly Roll (and I had three strips left over).
Also, we have the precuts for a line by Gina Martin and Moda called "Sewing Box"....anyone of us who has a friend who sews or quilts, this is the perfect line from which to make them that cute Christmas or Birthday gift....sewing notions of all descriptions in fun colors of purple, blue, orange, yellow, creams.....
We are also awaiting the arrival of a line of precuts by Blackbird Design and Moda called Autumn Lily.....this is a gorgeous line of fabrics in dusky shades of reds, pinks, sage greens, dusk blue and cappuccino browns. I will let everyone know the minute it arrives.
I sincerely hope you all have a great week, and look forward to seeing you down at the shop!

Block of the Month Club packaging errors....OOPS
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!
