I am at the shop early today to ready things for open sewing. Melissa is out of town for a mini-vacation and I am the keeper of the gate, so to speak. People often say when arriving "oh, you're working today?" I always say that "working" might be too strong of a word for what I am doing. To be here surrounded by this wonderful fabric talking to people as interested in Quilting as I am, well you get the picture. Anyhow, back to open sewing, we sew here at the shop most every Tuesday (and sometimes Wednesday), it's informal, fun and open to everyone. We feed each others interests, trade inspiration, talk about things completely un-quilt-related, laugh, sometimes cry and of course we eat. You are welcome anytime!
I wanted to let you know about a few new things at the shop that I think you will love. We have new bolts from a line called "Hot Blossom" by Robert Kaufman. Beautiful deep brown with turquise flowers. I picture aprons, totes and of course all things "quilt". Next, bolts of baby flannel from RJR called Lullaby and Goodnight. Not traditional baby colors of pink and blue but instead what the young Moms seem to prefer, brown, yellow and pale green. Very contempory, very baby! The "Oh,Cherry Oh" line from Me and My Sister Designs by Moda has been a fast seller. Melissa has tablerunners made up that are so cute! 36x20 the kit includes it all. Binding and backing too. On your patio table, your sunroom and of course the kitchen, perfect. Finally if today you are not in the mood to sew but instead think you might just want to drag a lawn chair to the back-yard and soak up this beautiful sunshine, stop in for the new "Quilt Sampler" magazine, just delivered from Fed-Ex. Then get a glass of tea, a comfortable chair and a spot in the sun to dream. Till next time!
