What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to all of you for another great year!  I am so happy to bring you interesting fabrics and projects.  So many of you stop and give me complements in the store.  I want you to know how grateful I am that you love my store and my staff.  We work really hard to make your experience special.  And we love seeing all of you week in and week out.  Thank you for making my life so special.

Block of the Month is going strong.  We've had a great response.  We are making a large throw and ...

Hi Everyone,

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season!  Enjoy your family, eat too much and come in the store to buy your own holiday gift.  We all deserve to treat ourselves to new fabric this time of year.  I even shop the store this time of year.  Last week I took home the new extra-large stripology ruler.  I'm going to test it out this weekend once my 60mg rotary cutter arrives.  One customer told me she cuts up to eight layers and can get everything cut so much faster.  Stop by next week and I will show ...

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that loyalty points will be added up at the end of the year.  You may only have a bit more to spend to make it to the next level.  Come on in and see where you stand.

I know you've been waiting!  I've been sewing up a storm to get it done.  And now we have our 2020 Block of the Month sample up in the store.  'Night and Day' is the colorway of our sample.   It uses beautiful new digital prints from the artist Flora Bowley.  The prints aren't available yet ...

Hi Everyone,

Robin Pickens from Moda has a new basics collection called "Thatched".  There are 25 colors.  She made  new patterns to use with the collection.  We've made 'Bird Talk' as our newest kit.  It measures 54" x 70".  Stop in or call to order (651 340 8263).

We are still looking for someone to replace Kris, our website/email expert.  This position requires about 4 hours a week at the shop and about the same amount remotely.  Kris is looking to leave by spring.  We are looking into using a new website company now and want to get ...

Hi Everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!  I wish I could tell you we have additional sales for Friday and Saturday.  I'm hoping to begin our sample sale Friday.  Buy as a gift or for yourself.  I'm running so far behind with everything.  We will probably start pricing our samples Friday morning.

Sew Kind of Wonderful has a new ruler with great new patterns.  We received one of their first shipments!  The 'WCR' ruler gives you even more curves to play with.  The patterns are great!  I just sent Jamie a package to make some samples for ...

Hi Everyone,

I hope you saw the email about our classes.  Some have already filled.  Click here to sign up.

Before we go any further I want to let you know that I looking for a new person to work on the emails and website.  Kris has been great but wants to move on.  We will be changing websites soon and working with a new program.  Right now, as many of you know, my website is not device responsive.  We hope to make this transition early next year.  If you are interested please call me or come in the store ...

Hi Everyone,

Keep an eye out for our class offerings for early 2020.  We are almost ready to publish them to the website.  There are a lot of great classes happening.  New classes in quilts, bags and clothing are on the list as well as returning favorites.  There will be a link in next week's email no matter what.

We have two new kits.  Stop in or call the shop to order (651 340 8263).

This is 'Shattered'.  It uses beautiful digital ombre fabrics from P&B.  The Thangles paper piecing method is used to make the half-square-triangles for ...

Hi Everyone,

Don't forget the sale.  We've added our Christmas fabrics to the list.  Remaining Halloween fabrics are now 50% off.

We are starting to put together our list of winter and early spring classes.  I'm really excited about the breadth of classes.  Many popular classes return and we have some great new offerings.  I'm hoping to have it on the website in ...

Hi Everyone,

Rose and I got back from market Monday night.  It was a lot to do in just three days.  We were able to find some great new things for you.  Stay tuned in the coming months to see what's new out there.

The 'Lola' kit and fabric are back in stock! 'Lola' measures 40" x 53".  Call us for a kit (651 340 8263) or purchase the fabric on the website by clicking here.

The sale continues.

Hi Everyone,  

Rose and I will be leaving for Quilt Market later this week.  We are looking forward to getting away and seeing what's new out there.  I've already purchased many fabrics and seen some great new notions on the internet.  I'll check them out while I'm there.  Follow us on Instagram if you want to see pictures!  One of the best things - Houston will be sunny and about 70°.  I'm sure we all agree that it is way too cold and rainy this fall.

Hi Everyone,

The sale is still going on:

I haven't mentioned our classes lately because they all filled so quickly.  But there is still room in the Bag Workshop happening Saturday, November 16th.  This class is for those of you who want to challenge yourselves with your next project.  Maybe you've never used the foam or worked with the zippers by the yard before.  Or ...

Hi Everyone,

Remember the sale.  The more fabric that is purchased at 50% off will mean new bolts get onto the 50% off shelves.

'Baja' from Free Spirit has such great soft colors.  We loved it so much we've put together a kit.  This is 'Myrtle, Stan and Bob'.  It measures 51" x 60".  If you'd like a kit, call us (651 340 8263).  We can hold it for you or ship it.
