Newest Project...Frenchy Bag by Amy Butler

I love Amy Butler patterns.  This one in particular, Frenchy Bags, has caught my eye for sometime, but it wasn't until recently that we decided to take it on at the shop as a fun side project.  Here's stage one of the project...we'll keep posting as we get farther along in the project, but we're making both the shoulder bag and the handbag...

We chose coordinating pieces from Joel Dewberry's Chestnut Hill line. 

 I just love blues... 

Happy Quilting...

My new room

It's been so fun to watch this passion for quilting turn into such a great business opportunity for me. I am also reminded of how much I still love stash building. I am having the best time ordering new lines of fabric, but as you can see from these pictures, I am running out of room!


This room used to be my daughters bedroom...but no more! Now, it's my quilt room...she loves it though, and has insisted that I "do something about that pink carpet..."

Until next time...happy quilting!!

Boys Will Be Boys

I took my daughters to the Spring Quilt Market this year. We had a such a wonderful time. My youngest daughter has two boys, so when she saw this panel she begged me to get it (with the matching Pigtails and Pixie Dust Panel to boot). I love this panel as a mom with a son and a grandma with five grandsons, but when my daughter sent me this picture of her four year old hurdling himself out of a tree, I couldn't resist sharing it with everyone!!

Apparently he loves to climb this tree in their backyard and jumps out of it to his daddy...Perhaps my next gift to this child will be a safety helmet...
