Finally getting caught up!

I am sorry that it has been awhile since I have updated!

We went to Williamsburg,VA last week - the gardens were beautiful.  I enjoyed it so much that it made me want to plant flowers and heirloom veggies! Came home with a great book (autographed - so  special) by the gardener for the Williamsburg gardens.  I think the highlight of the trip was getting to talk to him about the plants in his garden. 


I took advantage of the cloudy, cool Saturday we had this week and over did it planting flowers, now I am paying for it everytime I move...lol.

The hummingbirds are back - I love watching them.  I have to admit - I did sit and watch the birds on Monday - my Mother's Day present to me.  I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

There are some new things in the shop:

  Believe or not, now is the time to think about projects for Fall & Christmas!

We already have some great fall prints but the above 3 bolts just came in.  Great time to plan table toppers, place mats or a cut fall wall hanging. There are several coordinating marbles that go with them.

I love birds especially Redbirds!  Already had one quilter buy to make a tree skirt!  Wouldn't a table cloth or place mats be wonderful!
    The Fall & Christmas prints are only $5.99 yard - Great quality fabric and Great prices!

Mettler Silk Finish Cotton Thread Display!!!  These are variegated threads - great for applique and/or machine quilting.  Two sizes to choose from.

Coming soon - 1930's Timeless Treasures Fabrics!!!  Been searching for some 30's fabrics for a while at a good price - I finally got the call today about these!!!

Block of the month is going good!  Had one quilter bring by the first 3 blocks to show me - they were so beautiful!  I can't wait to see more!  I have the next 2 blocks ready for pick up.  I have got to get busy - I am behind!

Now alittle show & tell:

Chris Duncan is making an adorable Whinie the Pooh baby quilt - how cute is this!  I know many of you will remember Chrisy from Stitches from the Heart!  I enjoyed talking to her so much today!

Happy Quilting!

You got to go see the Baby Goats!

My daughter has lots of new baby goats -  you can see them at: http://thecrazygoatladyproducts.blogspot.com/



She has been bottle feeding 9 baby goats!!!!

Show & Tell!

Love Show & Tell so much!!!  I love seeing what others do with their fabrics!

 Janet's quilt is so bright and fun!! I love it!!

De's Wall Hanging is wonderful!  She did a great job! 



New Block of the Month!

I finally decided on what fabric I wanted for my block of the month quilt.  I got the first two blocks made today and up on the wall for you to see.  I used the Set B plexiglass templetes from Marti Michell.  Again, my pictures don't do it justice - they were taken with my phone.  Britney has got to find her memory card!!!

My fabric choice for my quilt - you choose the fabric you want for your quilt!!!



New Fabrics!!

The shop got in some beautiful new fabrics this week!!! Flutter & Flowers by Marcus Brothers for Independent Quilt Shop Only.  There is a great pattern you can get free with purchase.  My picture does not do it justice (sorry it was taken with my phone).  Fabric's retail price is $10.99 yard but it is only $5.99 yard at the shop!!!! 

Also coming:  108" muslin quilt backing.  New Accuquilt dies - hexagon, stars, circles & Alex Anderson's baskets.
Don't forget the March specials!

Senior Center Spring Craft Festival

Last Saturday was the spring craft show at the McMinn Senior Center.  I hate to say it was a very slow day, I think mainly due the the heavy rains we had in the morning.  But we it still was a fun day - got to meet some great venders.
One of our quilters attended the show with her daughter and won a door prize!  Carol was supprised when her name was called out - it was great.  She won a great Easter basket that was donated by a vender.

 We had a great booth! Don't you just love the sign!

Senior Center Craft Show, March 17th

So busy getting ready for the McMinn County Senior Center's Spring Craft Show, which will be Sat. March 17th. 
Working on baby quilts, pillows and other items to have there to sale.  Time to think about Mother's Day or putting alittle bit of spring colors in the house.

Several crafters will be there - fun day and  a great way to help local small business!  Plus a great way to help the Senior Center!
