Fabric Friday!!!

Happy Friday!!

Can you believe it’s August?!?!?!? In couple of weeks kids will be filling backpacks with pencils, paper and books full of knowledge that will hopefully fill their brains. Practices and games will fill our calendar taking away our time to quilt and by the end of the year we’ll look at the fabric pile we have and think “Was I suppose to do something with that?” But don’t worry, cause I’m here for you, I’ll help you make it through. šŸ™‚

I’ve brought ya all I got, Captain!

Where are all my Trekkies at?!?!?!

Fabric, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship MSQC. It’s been 5-year mission: to explore strange new fabrics, to seek out new patterns and new friends, to boldly go where no quilter has gone before.

It is only logical to provide to newest fabric lines.

Dang it, man, I’m a quilter not a physicist!

Can you name the characters you originally said these lines? I might have taken some liberties with them, but I think I only made better what was already good!

Happy Fourth of July!

So who’s gonna fire up the grill today with a cold drink in their hand while sitting on a quilt and watch the fireworks?

Flags-2

Just outside the shop

To get us in the spirit, here are some fun facts about the Fourth:

The Fourth was not a National holiday until 1941.

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey as the national bird but was overruled by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who wanted the bald eagle.

41 million Americans will not spend the holiday at home.

150 million hot dogs will be consumed on the Fourth.

87% of Americans own an outdoor grill.

The song “Yankee Doodle” was sung by the British during the American Revolution, making fun of the backwoods Americans.

In 1776, 2.5 million people were living in the states. Today there is 313 million.
