Hi everyone
I decided to close the shop today as The snow storm passes through. Hope no one is out on these roads today..
I made Dave homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast. -so he's laid back ready for a day of ballgames and I'm headed to the sewing room to work on snake river -/-again--- determined to finish this one -I have procrastinated long enough.
Take time to look at the beauty of
the new fallen snow today
A great day to bind one of those nice, warm quilts ( while covering up with it,of course)
stay warm and quilt much

She will be available to talk to on Saturday – Garden Song fabrics should arrive in February.
****We have received some new Moda fabrics since we’ve been back from our Christmas break -
Creekside Flannels by Holly Taylor – Warm up your sewing room when you start on a project using these browns, tans, greens & golds mingled with bears, pine needles and cabins. In shop now.
Attitude Girls – Mary Englebreit – We have just a few bolts that accompany this hilarious panel that will almost certainly remind us of ourselves and some of our friends!! What can you do with an “attitude” panel?? In shop now.
Nature’s Notebook – April Cornell – 40+ bolts of wonderful blues, soft yellows and creams – showcases her florals and tonals for a great spring project. In shop now.
Love U – Deb Strain – A large collection of baby prints – Pretty pinks, blue sky, grassy greens, rosy reds, sunshine yellows and cloud whites highlights all the flowers, snails, turtles, owls, dots and letters you will need to get ready for all those upcoming baby showers – great to have in our stash for when we need one!! In shop now.
Boutique – Chez Moi – A new designer for our shop takes us out of our “box” with this 35 bolt contemporary collection. Imagine pansies, speckles, blooms, dots and florals all in shades of sky, grass, scarlet and amber coming together in a new spring project - possibly a pieced Butterfly pattern? In shop now
Rouenneries – French General – This collection of reds, greys and taupes has been a hit – Some of this collection is still in the shop – look for the sequel in the coming months.
Eden – Lila Tueller – Another new designer for our shop will certainly lift this dreary cloud from our heads. Bright, cheerful and springy is all that comes to mind when I look at all these pinks & purples. Coming to shop in January.
Martinique – 3 Sisters – One of our “signature” designers has won Cookie Ransons heart with this collection. She was at the shop to preview this with the sales rep and said “JACKET!!!!!” Watch for it to arrive in February – March. Cookie will schedule her class when we have this fabric in. Florals, paisleys, sprigs, hibiscus, picket fence, vines and sundress all are screaming spring in the softest linens, corals, bisque and shell colorways.
Butterfly Garden – Kansas Troubles – Again, another one of my favorites – this designer always blends in with our existing stash – navy, deep reds, golds and plums are always in hot demand – Look at the new patterns already in featuring this new collection.
Aster Manor – 3 sisters; Vine Creek – Kansas Troubles; Blessings- Brannock & Patek are just a few of the newest lines that slipped in just before the holiday seasons. If you haven’t been in – they are definitely worth taking a look at.
As many of you know we have started carrying Kaffe Fassett & Amy Butler’s fabrics. For all you that have been waiting on Amy’s newest line “Love” – it’s in the shop now!
We also still have room on our bus to Pigeon Forge on March 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. We will be attending a quilt show, 4-5 quilt shops, outlet mall shopping and lots of dining!!

Welcome 2010
It is snowing heavy again tonight as I'm sitting here watching out the window. It is really pretty to watch and look at - BUT - I really dread trying to drive to the shop tomorrow. I left early today - about 4:30pm - as I figured most everyone was heading home. Oh well - this is a great opportunity to finish some of those old projects - or start dreaming about some new things to do. I finished a few older projects over Christmas and am anxiously awaiting the new fabric lines coming in. I just received April Cornell's newest line Notebook today - looks like spring - yummy blues and soft yellows. I can't wait to get back and dive into those boxes.
I am planning on Open House on Saturday - January 16th - 9:00am - 3:00pm - will post schedule and list of newest fabrics in a day or so.
Bus trip to Pigeon Forge, TN is still on and we need a few more "quilting buddies" to go with us. We will be leaving on March 9th (Tuesday) and returning on the 12th - (Friday). The cost is $350.00 - which includes hotel (where the quiltshow is being held and they are all double occupancy rooms), 3 evening meals - AppleBarn, Smith Bros. dinner & show, and Old Mill Restaurant. All tips are included as well. We will be stopping at probably four to five different quilt shops - or outlet mall shopping for those that choose that route. We had a wonderful time last year - hope you will come join us - Remember though - we have limited space and rooms so get your check in soon!!
Happy quilting - and consider putting some bindings on those almost finished projects - Sure would be cozy and warm during this snowy weather
