We have shot cottons.... clearance sale 2 more days

I am honestly overwhelmed by the gorgeousness of the wall that is housing the 63 Kaffe Shot Cottons we got in yesterday...

just a smattering here....

Don't forget we have all of our clearance fabrics at 40% off our normal prices until Friday.

Happy Monday!

Hi Everyone,

I think I need a holiday from the Holidays. It is funny that just when everyone is relaxing with friends and family we are in our crazy busy season. Gearing up for the New Year of festivities in the shop and having crazy stupid sales :)

So my tradition on the blog has been to pick a Word of the Year at New Year. The word of the year is Healthy.

 I have been feeling terrible. When I started the shop I was exercising an hour a day and losing weight and feeling really wonderful but the stress and long hours have really taken a toll on me. So this year I am working on getting that back.

And this (above picture) also shows my second goal of the year... I want to learn to draw. I may never be a great artist but I have always wanted to be able to draw so ... I want to get better at drawing this year. I have been practicing almost every day for a couple weeks and yesterday I took a class with the Fabulous Julie Fei-Fan Balzer had so much fun... Here are a couple of pictures... even if they are off the phone...

Now anyone that has seen my handwriting knows this is really good drawing for me :)


Now about sewing... I am working on a plan to help you sew your stash in 2015... you know? #sewmystash2015 So there is a little something coming on that in the next few weeks ... keep an eye out. In the mean time the Patchwork City BOM is almost closed. I am only taking 4 more sign ups for Westside and 6 more sign ups for Metro. So get it while the getting is good :)

Have a super Monday!

Happy New Year! Doe... It's here and more....

Hi Everyone,

The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated. I have had a cold but nothing life threatening :) I have just been working behind the scenes trying to set up some new and exciting things for the New Year over here. a new newsletter is coming out today... you won't want to miss it. You can sign up on the right hand side of the blog if you don't already receive it.

The long anticipated Doe has arrived minus one bolt that I am told won't arrive until February... who knows? It is a crazy industry... but oh so pretty.....

We also got this gorgeous... like I could eat it up... Petal & Plume by Bari J. The peacocks are gorgeous and the colors are so sumptuous... I love Art Gallery. I adore the feather prints and bought the knit of the navy feather print too... have to think up a new clothing project for it.

Art Gallery also added a few new solids and they are so rich they look like silk:

And... some adorable canvas for making bags... or covering chair cushions... oh my. It is called Geo Pop

 Oops I forgot to mention... I also created this custom bundle called Frosty New Year just for you... it makes me happy and was inspired by that bird print from Anna Maria on the top... love the colors she put in that print... you can find it in fat quarters and half yards in the shop,

Have a happy Holiday day :)

Boxing Day Sale... Get what you really wanted for Christmas.

Hi Everyone,

I just decided... of course at the last minute... to have a sale today. The Brick and Mortar is closed so the sale is only online for 26 hrs on the 26th :) Ending the 27th at 1p.m. Eastern.

20% off with this coupon code BOXING20. This excludes gift certificates, pre-orders, BOMs, and clubs. Please be patient with shipping since we only have a few working days next week. Also be certain to use an email address that you can be reached at in case we run out of things as often happens with sales.

Thanks so much!

Quilt Block Drive for Sydney Heroes

Hey Everyone,

My friend  Molli Sparkles is organizing a quilt block drive to make quilts for the families of the two heroes that lost their lives in the stand off in Sydney. Since shipping is expensive I am willing to collect the blocks and ship them all at once. They will only take a few minutes to make. I know we are all busy at Christmas but we would need them here by the end of December. Here is the information:

If they are not here by December 31st I won't be able to ship them so I will give them to a charity committee in one of my guilds.

Thanks for your consideration.
