Last but not least... I have been wanting to tell you about Creativebug... as you all know I love Creativebug. I have been a member for a few years now and every once in a while I tell you guys about them. They have great teachers! Including Anna Maria Horner, Amy Butler, Lizzy House, Heather Ross, and Carolyn Friedlander... honestly it is great. The reason I am talking about them now is they have a special if you sign up now 1 Month for $1  you can do as many classes as you want... and Sonya Philip of "100 Acts of Sewing" with her hot patterns is teaching her three basic pattern classes. Tunic No. 1, Pants No. 1, and Shirt No. 1.
 
The patterns alone would cost you close to $50 this is a great deal folks. If you want to sign up just click on the picture to go to Creativebug.

Look at this Quilt with Anna Maria:



Plus they have painting, cooking, knitting... it's great!

 

Megan was the only comment for the giveaway so she wins! Woot! Giveaway is over :)

Cotton + Steel Yes, me too....

Hi Everyone,

Well, I know you have already seen pictures everywhere of Cotton + Steel but here are a few more. I refolded my samples and took pictures for the website since we are taking pre-orders. I also took individual pictures of each of the fabrics but it is taking a while to edit them all, so those might be a few more days. Here is some eye candy for you... hopefully you aren't tired of it yet.

I hate to say it but I do have a favorite...

Moonlit by Rashida Coleman-Hale

Mustang by Melody Miller

Hatbox by Alexia Abegg

August by Sarah Watts

Homebody by Kimberly Kight

Basics by Cotton + Steel (this is only a picture of some of the basics... the neutrals and the blues are missing)

Sample Spree was crazy... we waited in line for 3 hours and were really close to the front but when they opened the doors they opened 3 sets and people flooded in. So now I know not to worry about waiting in line in Pittsburgh next time. My elbows weren't sharpened to a pointy enough point either so we missed out on the neutrals and blues even though I was the second person back at the table people kept cutting in front of me. If it weren't for Miss Brooke being so tall and having long arms we probably wouldn't have gotten any of these.

Friday Fun Day and the Giveaway

Hi Everyone,


I am so excited about the shop right now. I feel like I am jumping out of my skin. We are adding new and interesting items and changing things up and you will definitely want to be along for the ride. One of the things I am excited about is American Made Brand Solids. They will be coming to the shop in early June.

 

These solids are grown, spun, woven and dyed right here in the US. They have a really nice hand comparable to Bella Solids if you are wondering about that. We will also be promoting the challenge that they will be starting this summer. We will offer a bunch of bundles to help get you started. If you want to learn more about the brand here is their story.

We are sending out a newsletter on Monday that you won't want to miss. We will be talking about all of the awesome new stuff coming to the shop this Summer and Fall. You will also want to be following along on Facebook and Instagram next week because we will be posting tons of photos from International Quilt Market. We are most excited to see what these lovelies have come up with... because we have ordered the entire line sight unseen.... eeep!

We are hosting a giveaway over on Maureen's Blog today so go over and enter to win this bundle from Pretty Potent that Maureen picked out for you:

Don't forget you have to enter over there to win :)

If I don't see you... Have a lovely weekend!

Madrona Road and a little Melody MIller

Hi Everyone,

Madrona Road finally arrived..

You can find it here

Then a little bit of something unexpected (when I say unexpected I mean... I didn't order it) but really could I resist keeping it? They swear I ordered it so, okay, I will keep it.  You can find it here at a great price if I do say so myself.

Happy Monday! Tons new in the shop and Market pictures

Hi Everyone,

I am sure you have been seeing tons of pictures everyehwere from Market. I will be posting this week with my pictures hope you aren't too tired of them.

I guess the thing I am most excited about is adding Kokka to my line up. Not that I don't love the others too but I mean... really... Heather Ross, Melody Miller, and Echino? Come on who wouldn't be excited? So if you haven't been watching the facebook page you might have missed these pictures...

Excuse the poor quality, these are pictures from my phone... I do have some good quality ones coming later...

Here is Violet Craft with the quilt that Elizabeth Hartman made. The pattern is in Elizabeth's new book.

More picture spam coming later.

I can't wait to share all of the new collections I bought at Market. As a hint I picked up 4 new manufacturers. Kokka, Micheal Miller, Dear Stella, and Robert Kaufman.

Here are the things that showed up while I was gone:

Nightshade (well it was here but just the day before I left)

Wrenly Christmas (will have bundles up this afternoon)

Kharma Baby (will have bundles up this afternoon)

Alpine Wonderland (again it was here but very close to departure time)

Santa Claus is Coming to Town (will have bundles up this afternoon)

Rhapsodia will be restocked today and Vintage Modern might show up this afternoon as well... we shall see.

I have a big day ahead of unpacking boxes and getting all of the orders that came in out.

Hope it is the best Monday ever. I will be back with more pictures tomorrow.
