New Books

New stuff is coming in the shop all of the time.

Here are some new books that have recently arrived.

This book has a great quilt in it that I want to make.

 I would like to do it as a class in the Spring.

 I absolutely love the first quilt in this book. 

I would like to make it with Kaffe Fassett Fabrics.

I think I love every "Piece O' Cake" book I have ever seen!

Customer Quilts

I got some long arm quilting done this week. These are quilts waiting to be picked up.

This is Lucille's quilt that she made for her daughter.

The quilting on the front does not show up very well in the pictures, but you can see it better on the back.

This is Tina's "Mod Medallions;" I love this pattern. I quilted it the same way I did mine.

This is my "Mod Medallions" that I made a couple years ago with fabric that I received for my birthday.

This is Suzann's quilt. She made another one like this earlier in the year that I posted about here.

August and September Monthly Mini

As many of you know we have been featuring a mini quit for each month. We started out in January with a purchased pattern. But there have been some months where we can not find a pattern that we like for that month. For those months I have been designing the pattern. Flip Flop Splash was a purchased pattern for August. I designed "Sunflower" for 

September. 

Triplets

Colette Brought her granddaughters in to see me on Saturday.

They are all so adorable!
