Happy Tuesday... I sewed

Hi Everyone,

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives... let's make it great one!

We are sad here at the Intrepid family that we lost one of our own to maternity (indefinite) leave... could be 5 yrs ... but we will miss her. Colleen is the one that kept us all in line, now the monkeys are going to play way too much. But, just like the monkeys, I digress... here is the little Divided Basket I made for her going away.




A little Far Far Away (she is having a boy), some Emma's Garden and a little Cori Dantini from my stash. I also put in some Soft and Stable to make it really stand up.

Speaking of Cori Dantini... This is a terrible picture but I made this cute quilt as a sample for the shop too... Cori Dantini's Merry Stitches. It is a true quilt in a day and we have kits available. It took me 6 hrs total including cutting to make the top.

As I said terrible picture... at night oh well you get the idea... here is a better picture from the pattern:

Cute right? Anyway... I am also making a patchwork back... and I might like it better than the front... so far it just has leftovers from the fabrics I cut from the front.

It is funny how traditional these look... I don't really think of it as a traditional collection but I guess it has a folk art feel to it. Still love those cute birds and Santa.

What's been happinin' in you neck of the woods?

We have Miss Kate

She is a cutie...

And look at this pile of pre-cuts...



We have a great price on the pre-cuts.

OMGoodness! I missed it...

Hi Everyone,

So this morning as I was getting ready to head into the shop (literally in my undies) I realized that I missed posting on my 5 yr Blogiversary. I can't believe it has been five years since I quit my corporate job to stay home and home school my daughter.  Back in the day I did a lot of sewing... Here is my first post ... Uh oh... I just discovered that none of the pictures from August of 2009 show up anymore. All of the September ones are showing still. Look I was still a traditional girl then hehe.

I don't remember making this quilt... I wonder where it went... I wonder if I gave it to someone or if it is in the bottom of one of my piles somewhere... It was Nov 2009... look perfect points!

These two pictures are for all of my friends that know how much I love brown and batiks NOT!

This one won a design contest.

What! Applique?

Then I discovered Tula Pink....

Sad thing? I didn't know who Heather Ross was but I had some tiny pieces of Mendocino 

Here is where I announced I was opening the shop

Enough of the walk down memory lane :) Thanks to all you lovelies that have been following me since the beginning. Lots of you have been here since before the shop opened. Just hanging out being my friends. I have watched a bunch of you get famous :) Quilty Famous. I love you all.

Hugs,
Julie

Happy Monday ...

Free or Discounted Shipping and a Giveaway

Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to figure out a way to give my international customers a little shipping cost relief without putting myself out of business. So this is what we are doing:

We are having free shipping in the US and discounted shipping internationally promotion. It will be calculated at checkout. This promotion is good through Friday the 8th of August.

If you buy 3 yds or more in the US, shipping is free. If you fill a flat rate envelope internationally, which is 8 yards or more, then shipping is half price.

 International kids... this means you can get up to 30 yds of fabric for $30 in shipping or 8 yds for ... $11.98, or 18 yards for 23.95 not bad right?

How about a little Giveaway? I thought you might like that :)

 

How about a fat quarter bundle of this sweet collection in the Pink colorway from one of our favorite international designers, Sarah Fielke. Such a sweet lady and such a sweet collection. 

To win leave me a comment about how you most like to get updates from online shops. Facebook, Instagram, Blogs... other. It is great to get more info rather than less so if you want to tell me why you choose that method that is a bonus for me. You do need to answer the question at least, though, to qualify. Okay? Okay. I will choose winners next Friday morning 8/8/14.

Have a super weekend!
