New Fun Solids and Jen Kingwell Patterns

Hey Everyone,

I just realized that, though I had told everyone on my newsletter list, I hadn't revealed my big news here yet...

I decided about the first week of April that I just wasn't ready to go quietly into the night. 

I have so many ideas about what I want to do. I have heard the begging for a BOM since we have been doing it for so many years. I am going to do one but it is going to combine my help and a great, but challenging pattern, with the other thing you all have been wanting... which is a way to bust your stash. 

Have a look at the newsletter here. And why not sign up to get it automatically so you don't miss out. I don't post it here every time and a lot of times there are special promotions just for my newsletter peeps.  

For everyone that is waiting patiently for the next block for the Beginnings QAL I will have it up before I leave for Quilt Market (next week) I am aiming for the end of this week but I am still trying to catch up from the Tilda shipment and all of the new fabrics that have come in... check out a peek below :)

Vintage Holiday by Bonnie and Camille

Linen Texture from Andover

Devonstone Solids to match Tilda

 

Bungalow by Kate Spain

And ... more... like this (perfect for knitters), and this, and this...

I am excited... you can tell huh?

Talk soon,

Totally Terrific Tuesday Sale, My Small World Pattern, and Tula Pink Coloring Book

Hi Everyone,

Our Totally Terrific Tuesday sale is 20% to 50% off all of our apparel fabrics.  Includes, Rayon, Nani Iro and Cotton+Steel  Double Gauze, Echino Linen/cotton shirting, Lawn, Chambray, etc.  Sale is from noon Tuesdays until Noon Wednesdays Eastern Time. The sale is not running during brick and mortar hours but if you are local you can purchase online and pick up in the shop on Thursday. As usual please do not use any other discount or coupon code with this sale.

In other news we've got that terrific Jen Kingwell pattern My Small World in stock. It is at a discount from the MSRP of $28 at only $23.

We also have the Tula Pink Coloring book. The best thing about it is that the designs are only on one side of the page. So if you want to take them out and frame them you don't lose the design on the other side of the page.

Cute right?

Fabulous Fabric Friday and a Giveaway

Hey Everyone,

I don't know if you all noticed but I left the bundles on sale all week. They are still 25% off and I will leave them up until bed time tomorrow night... which could be Midnight Eastern but might 1am or 2am... having some ladies over to the shop for an after hours party after we are done at PIQF for the evening.

Life is speeding past at the speed of light at the moment. I can't believe I leave for Market in less than a week.

Would you like the chance to win a little something? How about a fat quarter bundle of Angela Walter's new fabric collection Drawn?

All you have to do is tell me in the comments which of the BOM options below you would most likely choose.

I am diligently searching for our new BOM and I have two ideas.

1. Jen Kingwell's My Small World. Yes, it would have to be a labor of love (read challenging) like both of the last two year's BOM's have been. For pictures you can see the quilt along and yes I do have access to patterns and have ordered some already. I will be putting up a pre-order for the patterns soon. If you want to be notified please sign up for the Newsletter. (sign up for newsletter is at the right of the blog)

2. A mystery sampler BOM in which you would receive a mini keychain ruler/template each month along with the pattern instructions and fabric to make the block with that ruler/template. I would be designing the blocks and I promise I write good patterns :) This would be a less expensive option and you would have the template/rulers to keep afterwards for other projects.

You can comment Option 1 or Option 2 or anything else you want to say like "I want both, because I have drunk the koolaid" or "I hate both options". :)

I will do the drawing after I get back from Market on the 26th. I am not sure what day because I am always so busy when I get home from a trip but you can keep commenting until I do the drawing :) Also keep an eye out next week for another giveaway because I always do one after Sample Spree while I am at Market.

Selfies a day late...

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I am a day late with this... not that you really want to see my face that much anyway. I was super busy yesterday getting some things uploaded to the website. Two Jen Kingwell patterns, three Green Bee (Alexia Abegg) patterns and a new collection called Ahoy Matie that is just about the cutest pirate fabric ever seen, and Northcott is giving the profits to a charity called Quilts For Kids.

Some of these selfies are not my selfies... they belong to Sally but since I was with her.... Sally gained her own hashtag at Market #selfieswithsally she pretty much took a selfie with everyone we met it got to be pretty hilarious by the time we were done. So here goes... anyone that knows me knows I hate to have my picture taken but I decided that I was just going to give up vanity and really... who looks good in a selfie anyway?

First selfie in the parking garage on the way to Schoolhouse:




Selfie with Elizabeth from Don't Call Me Betsy Who was the first person we saw when we got to the convention center... that we knew that is...



 

 Then there is a strange lack of selfies until the next morning when Market started... the first person I had to get a selfie with was Kate Spain we were all fresh and non sweaty at that point I thought it best to hug her before we all got moist LOL



 

Then another with all the girls...


 

Then we wondered over to the Art Gallery ummm I will have to call it a town lots of booths :) and saw Miss JeniB

 

 and Leah Duncan



 

And as we were wondering we found Lizzy House who showed us the SOAK booth and little known to her I had already bought her nail polish collection for the shop... yes, you can have Pearl Bracelet nails in about a week :)

 

 Here we are at the Modern Meet Up with some very familiar faces including Elizabeth again, Jessica Levitt and Angela Walters:

 

And here I am with the super sweet Jenean Morrison. I was carrying my tote bag that I made from her fabric and she had to stop me and tell me that it was her fabric. She is so sweet and humble that she didn't think i would know who she was or how to spell her name. Of course I do because I love her and her fabric!!!!


 

  Last but not least... And honestly this is my favorite ... not because I think it is a great picture but because of what transpired just before we took it. (well that really is a sweet pic of Pat)


 

I got the sweetest and most heartfelt advice from Pat Bravo. She took a tiny spare moment (trust me she didn't have many of those) took me aside and gave me personal business advice. What a kind and wonderful woman. If you ever get the chance to meet her you must! 

Okay that is enough photos to last me a lifetime. And it is late! Gotta get to work!
