Show N Tell

31 Aug 2010

Here is a couple of cute photos of some more show-n-tell.  The first is a photo of the Miller Gals and Sandra J.  They made 20 pillowcases on their Adirondack vacation.  All adorable, oh and the pillowcases are cute too.

The second photo is of Maeline's wonderful dress with petticoat which was made by her grandmother Kris F. Another cutie!

Gum Drop Pillow Class

26 Aug 2010

Denise taught the Gum Drop Pillow Class from Amy Bulter's pattern and we thought you'd like to see the results.  The pillows came out great, and we loved the fact that no matter the choice of fabric the looks were fabulous.

Christmas is Coming

19 Aug 2010

I hear Jingle Bells!  Ok, well maybe that's the cow bell on the front door, but the Christmas fabric is on the shelf and we just had to get things started with the Christmas corner. 

One of our newest samples is Poinsettia Wreaths, which you can see in progress below.  We fused ours, but you could also hand applique or machine applique these great blocks.  You can see below that we used a zig-zag stitch with matching thread.

We have several more samples that will be gracing the shop in the future.  So stop in anytime and maybe you'll start hearing bells too.  Ho!Ho!Ho!

Summer Dress

18 Aug 2010

Noreen V. came in the other day and had a great summer dress that she had made out of Amy Butler fabric.  We just had to show it, and her, off.  We asked her to just stand around the Amy Butler fabric section all day to sell fabric, but for some odd reason she said she had plans.  Regardless, we thought she looked grand.

Kristin's big 5-0!

11 Aug 2010

Kristin had a birthday last week and to celebrate we all gathered at her house, ate way too much food and pigged out on the best birthday cake ever.  We showered her with gifts, ok, so maybe that's a bit overboard, but she got to open some presents and isn't that what it's all about?

Below are some photos we thought were fun.  The close-up is what happens to someone when they have too many margaritas and chocolate cake.
