So, you know how I like to do fun facts during the holidays and things, well I have some about MSQC that are pretty mind-blowing. From January to June, MSQC has sent out 96,000 packages, quilted 600 quilts, cut 23,200 yards of fabrics and typed 56,000 emails and that was just the first six months!! You guys sure like to keep us busy, and we love it!

How’s everyone summer going? I hope things haven’t been too hot for ya… cause with all the new fabric, things are about to get a whole lot hotter! (Cheesy I line, I know!)
Ahhhh-MAZING! I have so many fun, quilts to show you! I have been bombarded by emails showing off your great work! I am having trouble narrowing down which ones to show now and which ones to save! 🙂 What a great problem to have, huh! (if you don’t see your quilt up yet, just wait! It’s coming!)
This first one is made with a Hoopla Layer cake and Jelly roll! One of TEN, Rita from Kansas is making for her grand-kids!!
Cute, huh! She made it after taking Mom’s online class!
Now, I feel like I may be in a ‘Beautiful-Quilt Coma’ ahhh, such a perfect thing for a Monday! I feel so much better already, don’t you!?
Thanks to all the quilters for sharing their beautiful work with us!! We are so grateful for the visual feast! (wow, am I looking forward to Thanksgiving, or what??)
The first Friday of every month we have a ‘Friday night Sew’! Anyone and everyone is invited to come sew with us! Everyone brings a snack to share and a project to sew. This week we ‘spiced’ it up a little with a Jelly Roll race! It was a total blast! The Ladies were crazy and sewed the night away with most everyone finishing a quilt top! We just love the group of women who come every month and look forward to visiting and catching up with them all. Such great friendships have been made and whenever we get together we have a ‘rolling on the floor’-laughing out loud- good time!
I’ve recieved several emails from Caroline and she has been a busy girl! She has made some amazing quilts! I am just blown away. Today I am going to show you all the amazing work Miss Caroline has been doing!
First up is her ‘Strips and Stars’ quilt. {She used this tutorial} I just love the solid black background against the bright colors!
This next one she made for her Great Granddaughter (born June 10th) She used a Buttercup charm pack and this tutorial.
So sweet! Just perfect for a baby!
The next one is just a beautiful as the others! She made the X’s and O’s Quilt that Mom taught in her online class with Sympoz, and used the fabric ‘Lovely” by Sandy Gervais for Moda. I just LOVE the way it turned out. One of the best lines this Spring for sure. (in my opinion, of course. *wink*wink)
Last but certainly NOT least, she is working on a Dresden Plate quilt! Like I said, Caroline has been a busy girl!
Caroline has certainly stolen the show {and tell} today! Thanks for showing us your amazing handi-work Caroline.
I just love each of your sweet emails and appreciate you taking the time to send us your pictures!
FYI: We had a Fed-X semi truck pull up to the Shop yesterday! Oh my stars! We have SO MUCH new stuff, we are busting with excitement! So, just stay tuned! We will be showing and talking and sharing with you all about it!
