So Much, So Much!

 

It's been over a month since my last post and there's much to tell.  Personally, I've moved and have been working  with contractors, landscapers, furniture deliveries, etc. not to mention unpacking;  but this is a much better house for me and I'm loving designing and decorating it plus the neighborhood is wonderful.  And, any day I'll be gone for a couple weeks to my daughter's in Portland to help after the birth of my first grandbaby, due yesterday.

Storewise, there's even more going on.  I don't remember when we've gotten so much new fabric in so short a period and it's all fabulous!  Above is fabric by Bigfork Bay Cotton Co., whose patterns we carry - they're those great crow/chicken/rooster wallhangings.

Please mark your calendars for June 25 - 28 - for the Wasatch Front Shop Hop!  This year's theme is "Once Upon a Time" and each shop has adopted a fairy tale and will make a corresponding quilt - the complete pattern for which will be given to each Shop Hop participant.  So, find a gaggle of friends and someone with a car big enough for everyone and set aside a couple days to visit all 15 shops!

The kits for the Autumn Quilt are ready - $110 plus $24 pattern -picture is under Quilts.

" Midwest Modern" by Amy Butler arrived this week - softer than her other collections.

"Rhapsody" is great colors and has a retro feel - altho' lots of these fit right in with other lines.

This is Brookfield Court, designed by our own Dana Baker.  It measures 25" x 38" and we made up kits that cost $35.  It started with a mini pack of 3" squares that Moda sends with our notions orders - I gave one to Dana and she came up with this - and we made it up again in fabrics from Whimsy.

And, here's Phoebe - another pattern from Melly & Me - that darling company in Australia - we got lots of other animals, too - a giraffe, frog, cow and ?  Fish - there's a fish pattern.

And, last but not least, and the earliest to arrive is Ginger Blossom, which we got in March.  Another new group is "Shiki", by Kumiko Sudo, a true pastel group that is so versatile - baby quilts, backgrounds for applique or piecing...but my pictures of it are gross, so I'll try again in my next post.  Pray for Spring.
