Jan Patek Applique

We are just having a blast with Jan Patek every month.  She is teaching us all the tips and tricks to make applique so much easier.  What is more fun than a bunch of women getting together, doing what they love (sewing) and sharing a snack!?

If you haven’t been in lately, you will have to see all the new stuff we have in.  We have some really (awesome) displays of Jan Patek quilt kits, fabric, patterns and finished quilts.  They are just beautiful.

Hope you are having a lovely weekend, wherever you are!

Yo-Yo-Yo

I have been drooling over some pretty awesome headbands on the Internet lately.  I’ve seen the ones with the big flowers or the three beaded flowers in a row….it got me thinking about using some yo-yo’s and attaching them to a headband.  Not sure if you’ve heard, but I am addicted to making yo-yo’s.

All the way from Chicago!

Guess what happened this weekend in the Shop…
We had a lovely visit from one of our forum members.  It was so exciting to meet her and put a face to a name.  She came all the way from Chicago….
Patticakes was her name, and fabric buying was her game. (har-har, I know…I am hilarious)  Seriously though, [...]

Snow and tell…

Yes, yes, yes, we are having some more snow.  Love it.   But it is bitterly cold today!  Brrr.
Also, today school was out and we had an appointment to get my oldest daughter braces.  We made the trek to the ‘big city’ and she now has a mouth full of metal.  Her  next appointment she gets [...]

Nicey Jane table runner….

You may have guessed it by now, that I LOVE Nicey Jane, by Heather Bailey.  I may only be, mildly obsessed with her.  I may even be willing to name a child after her.  (well, if I have any more, I will totally consider that!!)
Anyway, I was so excited about this line, and wanted to [...]
