To Market, to Market to buy a.....lot!!!


We are back from the Portland Spring Quilt Market, where we had a wonderful time finding all kinds of exciting new projects for the store- and you! We are happy to report that quilting is alive and well, with a record number of attendees, as well as vendors. Whew! Check out Mary Engelbreit's new fabric line at right- we saw SO many darling samples made up with this bright and cheerful fabric! Come see our samples ASAP!!! We were glad to see all of our favorites there: Crabapple Hill, Mountain Patchwork, All Through the Night, Wooden Spool, Kansas Troubles, and Bareroots all have fun and fresh patterns- you'll be seeing lots of them in the store already! We were especially excited to see brand new designers particularly featuring wool: `Ewe-nique Creations, Lily Anna Stitches, and Cozy Quarters, to name just a few. We have also picked up a large selection of gift items from Honey and Me- so primitive and cute! Finally, we'll be giving you some teasers about our newest kit- a Mystery Quilt!!! We'll be giving out more info in June, but we just have to say... you're gonna LOVE it!!! Hope to see you soon, Katie & Lisa

Happy Mother's Day!


As shop owners, Katie and I get to see some wonderful projects moms make! Kids, hubbies, sisters, friends- all are given to generously by loving hands. A handmade gift says "You are special to me" in a way nothing else does. So to moms everywhere- enjoy your day! You deserve it! In honor of family, Katie has stitched up this sweet wool penny rug called Home is Where the Heart is. We think it will be a great summer project, whether you're relaxing on the porch or driving on vacation. We won't guarantee it will make you forget the price of gasoline, but it WILL make you smile between pit stops! Kits are available- just call the shop to order. Happy Stitching, Katie and Lisa
