Meet our Purrfect Friends

New Fabrics

There's new fabrics posted in the fabric section. Just a few this week. It's been SO hot around here! We've been in a two-week long heat wave - we're just not used to this kind of constant heat. The worst part is that the heat just saps the ambition out of us...*sigh*

Introducing....Jazzy Stripes - our latest quilt pattern!

Jazzy Stripes is a wonderfully simple pattern that just knocks your socks off with the final result! The challenge of this pattern lies with the color choices, not the construction. Made with a simple strip-pieced block, the quilt uses eighteen different fabrics in lights and darks. When done with the right contrast balance, the stripes leap right off the quilt! With this pattern release, we are also offering a precut quilt kit using the oriental fabrics in our sample. The kit includes a copy of the pattern and enough precut strips to complete the full-sized quilt top. The kit contains 13-1/2 yards of fabric. Click here for more!

We're Back!

We're back home now after 26 days of traveling. We put over 3500 miles on Sherry's poor Rav4! We could see the poor thing groan every time we reloaded the booth into it. We had a great time and met lots of new quilters in New Jersey, Georgia, and Ohio. Now that we're back, we're busy getting orders out so please be patient just a bit longer - we'll get to your's soon!

We're also hustling to get ready for the Original Sewing & Quilting Expo in Worcester, MA next week. If you happen to make it to the show, be sure to stop by and say 'Hi!'. We've got lots of new fabrics and we'll have two brand new patterns available, including an awesome oriental kit! For those of you that can't make it, the new patterns and kits will be posted after the show, so stay tuned!

We're still busy adding new shows to our schedule so be sure to check often. And for those that can attend, be sure to bring our coupon with you!

It's Trip Time!

We're leaving on Wednesday, March 3rd and will not return to the shop until the last week of the month. We will be shipping orders as available while on the road, but most orders will probably be delayed until we return home. When your order is placed, we'll let you know with your confirmation if the order will ship immediately or be delayed. When we return home, orders will be shipped in the order that they're received and we'll send a confirmation note letting you know it's shipping.

On the Road Again!

We're doing the last mad scramble to get ready and packed for our big road trip in March. We leave in just three days! We'll be vending at The Quilt Fest in New Jersey next weekend (March 4th to 7th). From there, we're traveling down to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the Original Sewing & Quilting Expo at the Gwinnett Center on March 11th through 13th. Then we'll be heading north by a roundabout route that will bring us to our last show of the month - the Original Sewing & Quilting Expo at the I-X Center in Cleveland, Ohio during the March 25th weekend. Whew! We'll be gone for almost a month!

Needle Minders & Scissors now available!

At long last, we've gotten the Needle minders and scissors from Kelmscott Designs posted. Click here for a complete listing of all the needle minders available, as well as a selection of her scissor designs. There may be a small delay in order shipments for these items, depending upon our existing stock.

Winter Clearance Sale!

What do you do on a snowy day? Clean! We've been cleaning out the cupboards and corners to make room. The end result - we have LOTS of new clearance and remnant fabrics posted at deep, deep discounts. Some of these are golden oldies and long since out of print. We've also added a new fat quarter only clearance section. So start shopping now and get the bargains quick before they're gone!
