Retreeeeat!!!


Since Katie and I didn't get a massage, we did the next best thing and went on a quilting retreat! Three glorious days of sewing, talking, laughing, and eating at the Salmon Rapids Lodge in Riggins, Idaho!! Our local group, the Pine Needle Quilters, host an annual gathering here every spring. It's always "bring your own projects", which means everybody relaxes and works at their own pace. Surprisingly enough, though, we get a LOT done! You'll see many pics in the next few weeks, as we get our quilts quilted and bound- but more on THAT particular topic next time! Oh, and yes, our picture is the view from our room... did I say glorious or what?!!! Happy Quilting...!

Spring Cleaning... H Patches Style!


Once again, it's that restless time of year. Spring in the mountains! Katie often goes on a trip, Lisa to the hot springs...basically denial, but this year we put our noses (and arms!) to the grindstone and pulled off a major redo of the shop! We're still putting final touches on some displays, but we think you'll like our new look! We have LOTS of new fabric and patterns, and more coming in every month, so check back often to see what we're doing next. Our picture features our "Heritage Quilt" from the Collection For A Cause. Thank you for supporting ovarian cancer research with your purchase of this fabric! Your task this week is to figure out which corner of the shop the collection wound up in! Come in and see for yourself! In the meantime, I think Katie and I are ready for a massage...ahhhh!
