Accuquilt Cutting System is on its Way!

I have become an Accuquilt Dealer!  The Accuquilt GO & Baby GO systems should be here by next  week, along with several dies.  I can order any of the dies that are on website and I will honor their sale prices.

If you have not went to the Accuquilt website and are interested in what it is go to www.accuquilt.com and check out the videos.  If you hate to cute, have problems getting accurate cuts, have any physical problems that make it hard for you to hold a rotary cutter or scissors, an Accuquilt might help you continue with your love of quilting.

I love my Accuquilt Studio but it is not portable.  The GO can be folded and taken to classes, guild, and even vacation.  I will offer great prices on the GO and the dies - so check it out.  Who knows there are always birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays to add it to your list that they can choose from!

A Harrisville Loom found a new home

My good friends ( and cousins), Gail and Debbie, brought a Harrisville Loom to join my family of looms on Wednesday.  Well, Debbie's husband, Carey, got to load it in Nashville and drive it to me and with the help of my husband, Rhea, unloaded it into my living room.  Thank you, Carey, Gail & Debbie!

Trying to decide the best way to get it from the truck to the house!

Plus probably trying to figure out how they get into these messes!

Got alittle work to do on it but I think it will be a nice loom.  I have already contacted Harrisville about a couple replacement parts so I don't think it will be long.  Now just finding the time to weave!

I asked on facebook about a name for it and my friend, Donna, suggested "Harris" - how well that suit him.  He will join the other looms, Mira (Leclerc), Jimmy (Cricket loom), and Baby wolf (which still needs a name).

I need 48 hours in a day not 24!

New Fabric!

New for the shop - Jo Morton's Civil War Fabrics, Marcus Civil War.  Also, if you have a fisherman in the family - South Seas fish border and RJR fishing equipment print that would go great with the border print.  Ask about the free pattern that would work great with the fishing fabrics!

Bloomin Beauties Flannel Quilt Kit

My neighbor, Baby, came up to shop!

Baby brought her Mom, Myrtis, with her.

First Week!

I think I picked the coldest days in January to open, but it still we had a good time!  Brintey got a few pictures for me to post.

My dear friend, Shirley was my first customer!  It was so much fun to spend time just talking like we use to! 

Marilyn brought in the first show and tell.  A online Civil War block of the month, she got a great antique wide backing for it.  The top was so beautiful!

Tanya brought by flowers to celebrate the opening! We enjoyed it so much that hopefully next week we will do it again!  Talking about doing some knitting or spinning!

 They are so pretty - made me think of spring.  I cut out a blue and yellow Take 5 that Shirley and I had discussed.  The flowers  and the fabric made the day warm and cozy.

Dear friends, Jackie and David came up from Cleveland.  Both Jackie & David are quilters.

Plus met a new quilter to the area, Janet. 

Hopefully, they will bring show & tell next time!

Coming this week - Jo Morton's Civil War fabrics!!!  Plus planning a Block of the Month!!

Anyone that wants to come and do a sit and quilt, knit or spinning!  Let me know!!

Art Center Quilting Class in the Planning!!!

The Art Center is planning to offer a quilting class next quarter!  Quilting is an art form and it will be great to get it going at the center.

I will be teaching this beginner's class on the Take 5 quilt using  precut kit.  This should be a great class for anyone that is interested in quilting but doesn't want to take the plunge of buying mats, rulers & cutters until they see if they like it.  Or for someone that knows how to cut and just wants to have fun!!!

Sewing machine is required but one can be provided if you don't have one.  The kit will be offered in 2 color ways or you can come to the shop and pick your colors prior to the class.    So pass this on to anyone you know that has had an interest in quilting!!! Contact the Art Center and lets support the center!

Working to get it all done!

We have been working like crazy to get it all done!!!  Britney has been doing fat quarters!  She is getting pretty fast!

Can't wait to see everyone! 

If you need to come on Saturday - just give me a call.  We will be here working this week!
