Getting caught up... sort of!

How time flies when you're having fun!! Spring has been a very busy time for me and Katie- Shop Hop, a wedding, fabric, and gardening! Shop Hop was so much fun this year, as the Hoppers had several extra days and hours to enjoy the shops. It made for a wonderful experience for all! Then, it was off to Seattle for my (Lisa's) daughter's wedding- outdoors, and beautiful blue skies! We are so delighted to welcome our new son-in-law to the family! Back at the shop, our buying strategy this spring is LOTS of smaller lines, and that means we have kept UPS very busy delivering everything from watermelons and flags to snowmen, of all things! So, on the gorgeous days, we are outside getting our gardens all cleaned up- whew!, and the nasty days are spent stitching up new fabric! Aren't we lucky to be quilters?!! Speaking of gardening, I thought I'd give you a glimpse of a finished quilt Katie started in the bleak of last winter- it just really makes you smile! Notice the clever border- this is a great trick when you're really torn between 2 border fabrics- use both! Gosh, I have way too many exclamation points- too much coffee!! Happy stitching, Lisa & Katie
