Botanics, True Colors by Heather Bailey, and Rapture

Wow, I feel like I have a lot to say lately :)

Botanics is here. We have all of the prints in stock.  We also have all of the matching Kona colors (we added 11 yesterday) You can order fat quarters or half yards.... we also restocked the text prints in black and navy from Architextures.

Heather Bailey's True Colors matches Lottie Da... gosh I love those tangerines....

If you are in the middle of a winter storm maybe Rapture can warm you up... I adore these Summery colors .

It's Raining....

Literally and ... Literally... It is raining outside and due to the kind of roof the shop has every year it rains inside the shop as well. Until the roofers come out and fix it, again, every year. This time it was over the computer desk... oh joy! Last year it was in about 8 places over the fabric shelves... luckily we caught the leaks (with garbage cans) before we had any wet fabrics.

Yep, that's Botanics... some of it got here yesterday but 8 bolts were delayed getting to the warehouse so they will be a week or two later... mostly because of the Holiday weekend next week. These arrived a week earlier than I expected. We will have bundles back up for sale as soon as the rest comes in.

Miss Vanessa at V&Co mentioned our little challenge group yesterday. Head on over to see some more info about Market (and that adorable chevron skirt she wore).  And Miss Sally posted the latest update on our challenge.

See you tomorrow for the tutorial for the leaf blocks and a little giveaway... don't miss it... :)

Quilt Market... Warning Many Photos Ahead

Wow what a whirlwind.... I had so many appointments to go to that I literally only had 3 hrs to walk the floor. I saw a lot of lovelies, and brought a lot of them home, the rest will be arriving over the next 6 months or so. Do you believe they are showing Christmas 2014 already? Eeep!

First of all let me brag on my friends...


Sally (our lovely hostess for the weekend) made this gorgeous quilt in 3 days for Marcia Derse's booth at Windham:

Here is Miss Brooke with Ann Kelle... AKA Kelle Boyd and the quilt she made for her booth... so many things in the booth were made by Brooke that the mind boggles... Can you tell Brooke isn't having any fun at all here **wink Sorry for the poor lighting...

Jen Kingwell is my hero! Here are two of the patterns I picked up at Market... the rest are being shipped...

I will have them up on the website today or tomorrow.

Miss Adorable Vanessa... now you can see how huge that Sewing Machine quilt is... we are so making this!!

Miss Lizzy in her Catnap dress and with her Pearl Bracelet Nail polish (which will be in the shop in just a few days).
