Here are some new items just in...
We are so excited to be highlighted in this year's issue of Quilt Almanac. The magazine features an article about the Vermont Shop Hop 2012, March 16th-25th. The WWHQS porch was one of the photos chosen to be part of the article. Here is a peek inside...
Here we are...
Nice write up too about the shop. We have copies available for you to purchase.
This new book by Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr have us just dying to make a "transparency" quilt! We have all the tone on tones and solids to make a stunning example.
Also just in...A new twist on Turning Twenty
Wow, what fun we will have sewing a sample from this book by Tricia Cribbs. These patterns call for 20 fat quarters or scraps. Love the modern mosaic look of these quilts!
Pre-cut strips make piecing easy and fun! We have several designer 2 1/2" precut strips for your sewing pleasure! We also have lots of patterns and books to take advantage of these handy strips.
A new display of delightful COLOR!
We have some wonderful, woodsy flannels for a warm winter quilt! Oh, and this is a Turning 20 pattern, fast and easy.
Treasure's and Tidbits from "Piece O'Cake" Designs is a wonderful retro fabric line. We have fat quarter bundles and yardage as well as their latest pattern for Applique, "Fresh Picked Posies". We can kit up this quilt for you. Nine patch blocks surround a machine appliqued center block.
Back in stock...
Back in stock is Lake Houses' brightly colored alphabet panel. Fussy cut the alphabet into 5 1/2" squares and pair with 5 1/2" squares of companion fabrics. The border is those squares cut in half and sewn end to end. Quick and delightful! Kits available.
This pattern is by Sweet Jane's Quilting Design, "Flowers in the Sunshine. I used Lecien Fabrics from two lines, "Happy Mochi Yum Yum" by Monica Solorio- Snow and "Flower Sugar" paired with Kona White. Very fresh and sweet!
Here is her pattern cover featuring Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms, also in stock.
Our Shop Hop fabric 2012 from Hoffman is now in the shop. We have Hoffman specially design and print fabrics for the shops that particiapate in the Vermont Shop Hop. You can only get this fabric from one of these shops. Come in and buy a Passport for 10 days of quilting fun in Vermont! View these lovely Batiks in person! Passports are $6 and are available at any participating shop.
This year features dragonflies and swirls and comes in 4 colorways...
Ooh! Lovely!
Each shop will design their own sewing project for the Hop. I have lots of ideas in my head and will be starting one soon. Free copies of the patterns from each shop will be available to Passport Holders only during the Hop. We will also have kits available for Hoppers.
Did you know we have Designer Scrap Bags for $9.99? After we make a sample, we gather coordinated large scraps to equal 1 yard of fabric. These bags make great additions to any stash. We also sell "Grab Bags" full of scraps at $3 per pound! These are all from new fabric lines not old stuffy stuff!
A few more kits to mention...
We have this "Swirly Girl" "Perfect 10" pattern made up in Kaffe Fassett prints. The large floral squares are actually cut from a panel we have in several colorways. And if you haven't made a "Fruitcake" Quilt yet, here is a beautiful example in rich autumnal colors and jewel tones...
Kits are available. We used all Kaffe Fassett, Philip Jacobs and Brandon Mabley prints, naturally!
Well gotta get back to the sewing machine...Hope to see you soon!
Happy Sewing!
