  We have been really busy getting ready for our Quilters Summer Roadtrip that starts next on  Wednesday July 21st.  That means we have been busy making and kitting new quilts.  I think we have an awesome display of new quilts that really compliment each other and will catch you eye.  We have noticed there has been a lot more gray prints in the fabric lines this year and this display really brings that idea to mind.  I thought you might enjoy a peek.  You can see our new "Sunday Dinner" table topper coming out of the basket the outside says Le Poulet looks like an old newspaper print.  The kit is packaged with black ric-rac, backing, and binding for $102.50 and it measures 54 x 62.  We also have a great matching butcher style apron we can customize for you too the pattern is a new Designs by U, that is our Suzanne.   FYI:   I had to give our table topper a slight dye bath using a half box of Rit Tan dye to make me happy, it just needed to be softened ever so slightly and that is an easy way to do it, also if you are having it quilted use camel thread on it that will really be perfect somehow we always do but didn't this time.  "Mixed Peppercorns" is hanging on the cupboard door we really love this table topper too and it really compliments our Sunday Dinner.   The kit for this quilt is $55.25.   "Prairie Chickens" is our Vickie's newest offering this quilt is 52 x 65 and again the fabrics all work together nicely the kit will be so easy to put together because it uses nickel squares which we have already cut for you. The pattern and kit is priced at $65.00.   I think we have a bit of a French Chicken theme going on right down to the bird cage you see, we even have this same cage in two larger sizes.

Summer projects are getting done and we are going to be ready for our Annual Quilters Summer Road Trip July 21st - the 25th.  Evangeline is another Civil War inspired  quilt, the pattern is from Bonnie Blue and sells for $10.00 and the main focus fabric we used is a Moda it is a Cause for a Cure fabric and we chose it because it had a nice touch of that old blued out gray color we love and is so popular.  Our kit is$120.00.

"Up North Down South" is another great new quilt I really love.  My thing is I love the quilts with dark colors but when you can use the shirtings to enhance them you really create a heirloom quilt it is stunning, striking but soft and easy to live with.  The  pattern is new from Country Threads and it makes a perfect little summer throw or it could be thrown across your table.  This quilt is 49" x 63" and the kits sell for $95.00.  It reminds us Civil War times so I have a little writing desk on top of the quilt that also has a place for one of the old battery candles we sell and we just got in the greatest old looking journals.   The journals are $12.50 and the book holders are $35.00.

Gwen just finished the "Hourglass" table runner which was another new pattern from Country Threads, the pattern is $9.00 and the kits for the 22" x 46 " runner sell for $30.50.  This could be done up in so many different fabrics but we chose some of Jo's new Compliments to give it an airy summery feel.   I think you could have a galvanized pail full of Hydrangeas or Queen Anne's Lace sitting on it and it would be just a perfect way to show off your summer table.   I will give you a couple of views of this updated classic runner.  We just got in the most perfect aged antique looking tin lights that use these unique battery operated patriotic flag candles, we also just have them plain but if you love patriotic these work.  We have old bunting wrapped around an olde weather vain in the background and you can also see one of the silver serving trays.  You can order the light with the candle for only $49.00 or just get a candle for $11.00.

  I've been thinking it is just about time for you to see something new on this page.  I have finally gotten a better picture of our New George Quilt.  He is very handsome and as hard as he looks he is put together with half square triangles and goes together very quickly and with ease.  It is always a great thing when something looks so hard and it is really not.  He is 80 x 80 and the kit is $102.50.  If you love great looking old Civil War fabrics and colors then we know you will love this quilt and he is a good companion to our first George Quilt. The background we chose is a great old brown print and for some reason the lighting in the picture does not show off the warmth in this quilt.  The flags are optional but keep the look very patriotic it is your decision.  We have more Japanese fabrics in, they are so fun to work with and seem to work in most of our quilts.  You will notice another great quilt kit laying over the chair this is one of Vickie's patterns called Homestead Lane.  This little quilt would be perfect on a daybed it is only 52" x  52" and the kit sells for $79.75, Vickie's pattern is $8.50.  I think we will be working on this quilt in our Vintage Quilt Class that Vickie teaches.

I finally have gotten the Christmas put away in the shop, it is a good feeling after looking at it for 2 months we were all ready!  The girls have been busy sewing new quilts so I thought you might enjoy seeing the new Barbara Brackman "Homefront" quilt finished.  It is so great, Suzanne made it up and will be teaching it in a couple of weeks too.  The kits sell for $120.00 and that includes the pattern.  I know you will love this quilt it was one you needed to see finished but everyone that has seen it done has absolutely fallen in love.  The colors and prints are soft, but striking and look so old.  What a beautiful vintage quilt.

We have a new French Farmhouse quilt coming this week but you might enjoy seeing it grouped in the cupboard.  This fabric line has been one of my favorites.  I have also moved another favorite and it really looks so great for this time of year.  I think neutral quilts are really great anytime but in the winter  they look very clean and fresh and that is the look we like to go for after the holidays.  Remember Fannies Favorite we still have 8 kits available to you might want to consider this one. You can also see the Gettysburg Sun and Jo's Brown Bayou from her Vintage Journey book.     I'm really loving these pillows and find they look great everywhere I have put them.  The cost for them runs $30.00.   I thought you might like a peak at the French Farmhouse quilt packaged it is not bound yet but expect to have a picture yet this week.  Here is the kit and look what you can make with the left over fabric.  Miss Rosie's Tuffets.  This pattern is just the best and for $6.50 the gifts you can make from your scraps make just the best gifts.

The French General Farmhouse quilt is  76 x 90 and includes the pattern for $99.50.  You can also get these neat French General tape measures, you get two cloth tapes one narrow and one wide packaged in separate twill stripped bags, they are handy to use, look great, and priced at $20.00.  I think they would make a good little Valentine gift idea.   Please note when the new tapes arrived today the price has changed. I have the quilt on the bed as of today and it is stunning!   I will give you a couple of views.  I just happened to think about a pair of scissors I talked about but have not pictured yet and they look so neat with the French General  tape measures I thought I would let you take a peak.  The embroidery scissors have a nice sharp point and look so old I know you will love them, we sell them for $15.40.  I am going to show you another photo  of the aged tin organizer everyone is loving.  This tin is a French organizer with four sections to store your sewing notions or anything else you might feel the need to store when you are doing handwork.  I think this would be great to use for make-up too.  The cost is $15.50.

I just got some new pictures taken of the grandkids for the annual Christmas letter that is biannual this year I never got to it last year like I wanted to so I will start writing it tomorrow with great intentions.   There is still no baby we think maybe with the big snowstorm coming this week that might just trigger it but for now here is my fab 5.  I can not believe how everyone has grown so big this year.  We are all anxious  for the baby's arrival, our little princess Emma and I are hoping for a little girl but there is always room for another prince and it will be in very good company.  Emma and I got our wish meet Carley Jean Scott born on December 19th, weighing in at 6 lbs. 8 ounces.  You can tell our little red haired Ayden is full of it he just turned five and would rather be playing with our cat Maddy.

Merry Christmas to all!

  This is our fun quilt we are calling "Dig that Crazy Reindeer" this is not for beginners you have to be experienced there is a lot of intricate piecing and detail to this quilt but the colors and design say Merry Christmas one and all.  Selma created this quilt and it is so fun I know you will enjoy it too.  The red star in the backgroundis another decorative idea you may want to try out.   The Santa's we have are always fun to decorate with and the juniper seems to make them look even more grand.  The quilt you are seeing in the background on your left is new, we call it "Remembering Christmas", it is a 4-patch and again it comes down to the use of color and fabrics.  This is a small sampling and if I have time to add more tomorrow I will.  Merry, Merry I hope we see you are the Annual American Country Christmas Open House this weekend November 6-8.  With a little luck you may even be able to see our new schoolroom facility it won't be completely done but closer than it was yesterday.

I need to tell you about Maggie Bonanomi's new book, it is called "Nature's Offerings".  This book has 22 projects to do and there is 112 pages filled with great photos of Maggie's very special home and gardens in the Lexington area.  There is something for every season, the price fr this gem is $26.95.   If you loved her first book then you will definitely love this one as well.  We are gearing up to do up 3 kits for you, Winter's Garden Bed Cover, the Wild Flowers of Summer Wool quilt, and the 1870 Urn table runner.    I have also pictured a her half moon wool applique table rug she calls Tropicals underglass.  You will also enjoy her the little hooked  birdnest chairpad pattern, , boughs of holly rug mat, and the neat large pear pincushions.  If all goes well we will have at least a few of the projects kitted  in time for our American Country Christmas Open House November 6-8.  I hope you enjoy this little tour of what we all think is a brilliant book by our favorite primitive wool designer.

We have been a busy bunch of shop girls this fall getting all of our new quilts ready  for our fall guests.   Please be our guest, enjoy the great weather and did you know this is National Quilt month too?  How appropriate!!!   Your going to find us a trip well worth the effort.   Since fall is in the air I will start out with our "Harvest Jumble", this is a colorful quilt made from Jo Morton fabric you can not see the inner and outer border very well but it is easy to get the idea.  The quilt is 62" x 62"  and the pattern is from her new "Vintage Journey" book.  This kit sells for $103.75 and the book is $25.00.  We do a great fall quilt every year and this is our 2009 offering I know you will love it and the size is easy to use and display.  You will also notice an great new La D Da x-stitch for the Season, this sold out at the show and it will be next week be fore we get all the linen and patterns back in but isn't it so good? 

 The next quilt you see is a great flannel quilt.  It is made from the woolies flannels we all love to cuddle up in.  They are the best.  We used a Bonnie Sullivan pattern but I'm a plain girl and wanted the fabrics to stand on there own so the only thing I did was add the date like they did in the 1800's in the bottom right hand corner.  You this rich, comforting  "Warm Woolies" throw.  It looks pretty swell with primitives too.  We packaged this kit in one of our new Country Sampler totes that I know you will enjoy using.  The cost of this kit 60" x 68" is $82.50 and the pattern is $8.50.    How about the great Tickled Primitive Cat?  The patterns are $9.00 and our Marcus overdyed muslin works great.  The Star in a Star quilt is folded over the bottom of the bed and was another very popular quilt at the Expo.  This is another one of my very favorite quilts.

 You know how we love the Civil War fabric so when we looked at the new Abe Lincoln line we all knew a new quilt was brewing.  We call this quilt "A Tribute to Abraham Lincoln".  Vickie has worked very hard on this quilt and we both looked at each other today and said we will be lucky if there are any left after the show.  It is a queen size and I know every once in awhile that is the size of choice.  The quilt is 89" x  102" and our kit is $166.50 and the binding is included. Our pattern is $8.50.  Notice the neat Abe photo in the background we only have the smaller Abe's left as we sold all of our large ones at the show.  Let's talk a little turkey these are by far the best antique replicas I have ever found they are made out os papier mache' and have wire legs.  These are some pretty handsome tom's colored and aged just right and only $36.00.     

We have even more new quilts to show off but this all I have for you today I am moving everything and taking pictures which I will try to get in before the weekend. I hope you enjoy our little preview.  You will not find any of these in the shopping cart  yet but by next week they will be there so you will have to call the shop girls if you wish to purchase any.  We have at least 6 Lincoln quilt kits left out of the 30 we made up and although we are happy about this it makes us sad to have it sold out so quickly.  You will notice the Battlegrounds banner in the background.  This piece is one of those quilts that are easy to display and it looks so great with primitives.  The kit and layout pattern sells for $35.00 and is 28" x 65".  This is a quick project and would make a great gift for a Civil War buff.

August is a great month because you begin to see the tell tale signs of fall coming.  It is my favorite time of year, there is a bustle in the shop as the quilts begin to change and the decor transitions into late summer and fall color and the really fun part of this all is all of the great holiday folkart and home gear we have ordered begins to trickle in  Here's a few new pictures to get you thinking about what's to come .  I love the new red conservatory, it sells for $160.00 and just think of all the neat stuff you can display in it.  I put our old bird house and button leaf foliage inside.  The geraniums are so beautiful and they look so real  it looks like we have been tending them all summer, they sell al potted for $33.15.  I hope you are noticing our 1892 pin cushion.  It is from the French General line of fabrics we are expecting this fall.  The pincushion is $20.50. and comes with red embroidery thread for you to personalize it with  your own initials.    Our new golden apple wreaths will add a splash of great fall color to your door, a wall, your harvest table, our farm house bowl is another good idea they look really great anywhere.  This wreath comes in 2 sizes.  The little Herb Baskets quilt seems a perfect choice  We all like the small size too.  You might notice I have several shapes and sizes of mirrors they are reasonable priced at $37.50 - $4750.  I like to use a mirror in a display because it creates some dimension to other objects you may want to showcase.   I'm also loving this old tombstone angel she comes with a battery candle for $25.00 and looks really good tucked in with your primitive decor.  You also notice in the pictures the stunning Gettysburg Sun quilt out of the Indigo and Honey fabric line we also have made up the most wonderful bag design by a great new designer.  Kits are available for the wall quilt.    I was also telling you about a new message boards, these are wonderful little tools to post reminders to and keep track of things you need to do.  We do have two sizes.  The cost for the small board which is 12 x 18 1/2 is $17.50 and the large board is 15 x 20 and sells for $21.50.  I like these vintage boards because they are shaped like hornbooks.  I have the large one sitting on our neat twig easels.  Now that is just another good thing.

Speaking of vintage I absolutely love this old Herbal Apothecary Cabinet it sells for $187.50 and you may notice how well it goes with my Worn & Loved fabrics.   Another thing I would like to mention today is a pattern from a new vendor to make the most wonderful primitive pumpkins it is $9.50 and there are 3 sizes you can make from this pattern.  Look how neat this old pumpkin looks in a wreath and think how great it could look in one of our farmhouse bowls.  Here is just another urn with boxwood in it the boxwood sprays are $9.40 and green urn is $19.95.  Isn't fall just most wonderful time of the year?

It is feeling like summer in Wisconsin.  We  have 3 new quilts finally ready for you this week.  Our "Fannies Favorite" quilt is the theme block  our Road Trip shops all made into something that really represented each of the shops that participated. We chose to make up a quilt this year, it is 68" x 68" and it is one of my favorite quilts because we chose to use neutral fabrics.  Neutrals go in any decor and just make everything else around them look great too.  Our kit sells for $97.00 and includes the binding.  Our pattern  sells for $8.50.

Another new quilt is "Lincoln's Platform" quit it is only 24 3/4" x 24 3/4" it's a great small Civil War looking table topper and kitted with backing and binding sells for $36.75.  You will enjoy using this with your primitives and antiques.  Our last quilt this week is called "Gettysburg" Suzanne made up the small version and it is 41" x 51" and our kit includes the binding.  The cost is $48.95. I think you will really love the Jo Morton fabrics we used in this quilt and how they make a unique stylized border.   The pattern is a Clothesline pattern and sells for $8.50.

 Happy Piecing!

The one thing I do love the most about summer is the Patriotic home gear and we do have some really great reproduction pieces that really celebrate our heritage.  We probably have some of the best fabrics we have ever had the prints are very classic and rich and we have had great fun coming up with interesting ways to use them.  You will be seeing a new table topper next week that I know you will love and you can really put it together in less than a day.  This spells quick hostess gift and a great new table topper for your holiday entertaining.  I really like this next project we are calling "The Soldiers Quilt".  Today we are all touched in some way either with an immediate family  member or a close friend we know that is in the our country's  military.  We think this little quilt would make a perfect gift and a great way to show our support for your loved one.  We used Marcus Brothers new American Patriot fabric line and I will be able to show you photos next week. Right now I'm going to give you a look at some of the new home gear you will see if you visit anytime soon.

This is a picture of our newest angel, you can also see our new Honest Abe and George Washington framed prints in the group of pictures, our new houses, carved stars, flag ribbon, and many other really fun good things  you will really enjoy.  Don't forget about "The Flag Day Farm" designer quilt we did up this spring.  Neutral looks great in every decor and really help show off color it's classic and being a panel it goes together fast.  You just let your long arm quilter do her magic it really is a beautiful quilt and you can buy it with or without backing fabric.  Have a wonderful summer weekend!

I bet you have been thinking about and doing some  gardening at your houses this past weekend.  It is really easy to be consumed and carried away by the beautiful plants that are available kind of like fabric.  I picked up some for my outside urn now the trick will be to keep them alive.  I do not necessarily have a green thumb so I tend to use a lot of silk florals in my house they are made to look so real these days you can hardly tell.   We are so excited over this new quilt called "Gettysburg Sun".   The fabrics in this quilt just could not be more perfect for the season and at $54.00 a kit, and an  overall size of 29" x 36" what better way could you possibly  welcome our summer days?   I thought you might like to see the new Fruit Salad Watermelon pincushions.  We have kits available and the pattern sells for $9.00.  The pattern includes a great big old strawberry pattern too.  I like the idea of a bowl full.  Notice the urn with the lavender and the old reproduction gardeners planting screen in the photo at the top left of this page.  We have some great silks in the shop as well as other gardening folkart you might enjoy.  The quilt pictured is "Herb Baskets" from Country Threads we have this kitted.  We have some great folkart bird houses and several different lanterns that you are seeing being used everywhere in all the catalogs .  The lanterns are great for indoor or outdoor entertaining you may be doing over the summer.  Glass domes have been popular, urns are also a good choice and the white tulips, lavender, rosemary, paper whites, and clover look great anywhere.     We just got in Marcus Brothers new Regency and basics today.  Yummy for sure!  To your left you will see "Gentle Grace" our newest Worn &Loved  quilt it measures out to 72" x 84".  We are cutting the kits this week, the cost is $130.00 for the kit and the pattern is $8.00.  

Tt's a new Schnibbles pattern from Miss Rosie called Tuffets.  You will love how Suzanne used the Marcus Brothers Indigo and Honey fabrics when she sewed them together.    They are all really stunning I think you will need a bowl full for sure.  The Treenware tray pictured would work great and sells for $41.50.   Think what great gifts they would make for your quilting friends.   These are going to make you twitter for sure.  It could surely be a great Happy Mother's Day too. and the little love handle scissors would also be a good choice.  The kits sell for $25.95 and include the pattern, backing everything you need.  The scissors sell for $12.00.

It has been awhile since you have seen some new quilt candy so before it is all sold out I'm going to show you some new quilts we took to Quilt Festival.  First my favorite, "George".  I look at this quilt and know it will be an heirloom someday.  This quilt is 64 x 66 and the kit sells for $110.00.  The pattern is ours and sells for $8.50.  He is very handsome.  You can see our "Reach for the Stars" on the bed. Do you know it is the poison green fabric that makes this quilt so good.  The drab old stars are also good but that green is awesome.  This quilt is 66 x 70.  It is also one of our pattern and it sells for $8.50, and the kit is $78.00.

 I'm going to point out the unique raised serving tray the bowl is sitting on.  It is very sturdy but looks like old twigs and it also has an old bird that you can't see but trust me it is there and you will like it.   I feel the selling point on this item is the idea of it being raised and you are doing a buffet luncheon it will just be perfect.  The cost is$41.25.  This year you are going to be seeing domes used in every capacity, to showcase folkart and serving.  We have three sizes of the galvanized serving pedestals from 7 - 9 inches and ranging from $25.00 - $35.00.  The glass domes come in all shapes and sizes and range in price from $22.50 to $52.00.  I have to tell you we have a beautiful pedestal cream serving bowl for $45.00 that I can just see you getting a lot of use out of.  The one you see pictured is full of match boxes I was so excited to find these as I have bee buying ones like them from Pottery Barn for several years.  They look so nice sitting out and have  long sticks so you so don't get burnt.  The boxes have very cool covers, old olive branches, bird nests, and old letters.  The cost is only$3.25 and I think it is also a nice little hostess gift.  That is all I for this week. 

This has been a pretty exciting week for us as we have one of our samplers from the shop featured in the April Country Living magazine.  This is a true folkart sampler and when I stitched it I new it was one I would never grow tired of.  I love those kind of samplers and when Sarah called me from Country Living last fall to ask about it I was delighted she chose our shop because we carry a great selection of Folkart handwork patterns, and home decor.  This is a great opportunity for us and I hope it will drive new folks to our website and acquaint  them with our services and style.  We are offering the "Alphabet Sampler"  to you kitted on either 30 count hand dyed linen, packaged with over dyed Weeks threads, the pattern and a needle for $30.00.  ****

FYI:  On 3-16-09 it was brought to our attention that we need 4 Caper threads, that 2 were not going to be enough enough, so we are adding this to all new orders.  The threads are $2.00 so you will notice a change in the amount you are being charged.  I'm sorry for this inconvenience, I stitched this back in 99 and if I did need more caper I have long forgotten it, we were trusting the pattern directions.  So call if you need more caper we will have to charge you the thread cost but ship it NC..

The store  keeps getting better every week as more and more spring merchandise arrives.  This week we have two new quilts I think you are going to love.  We have finally been able to finish "Reach for the Stars" which was our 4th and last quilt in our 25 series. It is so perfect for your spring decor we have to pinch ourselves.  This quilt is 66" x 70", the kit sells for $78.00 and the the pattern is $8.50.  I can't wait for you to see it. 

"My Heart Is True"  is the newest Blackbird Designs book for stitchers.  We love it and have already ordered linens to stitch models.  The book is full of small, simple designs and Barb and Alma have embraced and introduce you to a new designer from Milan Italy, Nicoletta Farrauto.  I know right now that this is going to be a book your will treasure, the color photos are so peaceful and inspiring. I am picturing several projects so you can get a good feel for the book you will want to own.  I think it could just be a Happy Valentine's Day to you!  The cost is$24.00.  This is a Flock of Birds stitched on Weeks 28 count gingham linen, light grey/straw you are also going to love  Garden Gems Pinkeep box, the Humble Pinkeep is so simple but so precious, and the Friends with You project book would be fun to make.

Belle Meade" is our new quilt kit.  We are all in love with Belle.  It surely is all of  the fabrics we used that compliment the pattern but the border fabric used on the setting triangles is the homerun.  It is just the perfect fabric for this quilt.   We love to use a signature fabric to make our  quilts special.   The pattern is by Bonnie Blue and sells for $10.00.  Belle is 70 x70 and the kit is $140.00.  The size of this quilt gives you options for hanging and using it as a table topper.  I love the warmth you feel as you look at this quilt and just imagine using it as a table topper, setting your table with antique or new cream or brown dishes and using one of our new Green centerpiece ideas we will be showing for Spring.  It is a good thing.

  Just a little preview from Blackbird's newest release "When The Cold Wind Blows". 

The house that was photographed was Ginger Schraders and just by luck there was a new dusting of snow the day it was done.  If you love Blackbirds style this is a book you will want to own for $25.95.  I'm already looking at several of the quilts and dreaming of some wonderful wool projects. The book has beautiful holiday quilts ideas personally the one called Holly and Mistletoe is one of my favorites.

Look what just can in the door today!!  Maggie's Book is here and it is so wonderful I can't imagine anyone that would not want to own it.  We are so pleased on the cover you will see the wall mural Maggie painted in our 2nd Story and the beautiful runner on the fireplace the shop girls had Maggie make up for me for my Christmas present.  Wow!!! Then I look inside and see a wonderful tribute from Maggie.  I have encouraged Maggie to share  her talent it is rare, unique and from her heart!!  I don't think it can get any better than that.  We love Maggie's style, it fits us and her club is a testament to her popularity in our shop.  The book has 19 primitive projects for your home and just so you know the photography was done in her home.  What a treat!  I present for your approval

"With these hands"!

Don't you just love this bird pillow?  I'm sure we will have to kit these for the shop once I get a chance to study them a little more.  The cost of the book is$25.95. and we will ship it out to you right away.    We also got in the newest Blackbird Designs book called "In Full Bloom" today.  It is another must have book and the cost is also $25.00.   With all of this good stuff going on we have been screaming with glee all day long and it's only Monday.  I can finally sit down and just start to go through them so it will be a late night but oh so satisfying to take in two of my favorite designers best efforts.  I can't wait to hear from you.  We will put up more pictures this week from both books.

Let me see where to start I need to give you some great new eye candy.   I will try and picture just a few new patterns that might be of interest that have come in over the past week and also tell you we just got in the new Andover Jo Morton Toast fabrics and Windham's Coverlet 2 .  Primitivebettys is a new cross stitch company.  I have pictured the Blue Tulip, 1836 Spring Tyme Sampler and Friends Sampler.  The Friends Sampler is our newest Primitive Club offering.  Patterns sell for $10.00.

  Stacy Nash also has new designs, Emma & her Pony Sewing Roll, Tulip Sewing Book, Early Style Alphabet Pillow Pinkeep, and Letters Scissor Pouch.  You will also notice some adorable heart scissors in the heart pouch that will be coming in this next week along with a cute little scissor called the Putford.  We will try to get them both pictured so you can see them.   Stacy's patterns are also $10.00.

We do love all of the new fabrics that have come in and I will get them pictured for you to look at by next week.  The Toast fabric line has 16 sku's  and we will be putting them into fat quarter packs and if you would like we will do a 1/2 yard pack just call us and it will be done.  We are also excited over the Coverlet fabric line.  If you loved the quilt we did with the first line last year for our open house I know you will be just as excited over this one so watch our site for details.   If you were not one of the lucky ones to get this neat quilt you will have anther chance.

  Linda from Chessie and Me has a great new summer sampler.  It is called "Where Stitching Leads" and is in her designer series packaged with the linen for $18.00.

  We are liking a new Punch Needle pattern from With they Needle and Thread called "Flag Day".  It uses the Valdani 3 strand ovdyed threads and the printed pattern sells for $12.00.  We are also going to have the primitive paddles made up so you can finish  yours like the model.      Virginia Cole's galloping pony studio patterns are pretty exciting.  We have her new 4 books and 2  of her individual patterns.    The pattern is $10.00 and the books are all $15.00.   Oh Christmastime, My Quilting Friends, Hey Nonny Nonny, and Family Days are the four book titles and each book has about of the neatest projects you could ever imagine it really is a way to incorporate scrap booking with quilting.  I really like how she incorporates the paper designs and then adds the quilt blocks.  Neat concept, innovative designer.
