<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paula Nadlestern has done it again! Her new fabric line, Fabracadabra, reminded us of her Patternista line that we used to make Beaded Ornaments a few years back. The new motifs are equally beautiful and up to the task of becoming awesome ornaments. The following pictures show the ornaments in the making and finished. They are now hanging at the shop, alongside the ones made from Patternista. The Patternista ones had been living in Delphine's sewing room, making one corner particulary pretty! Come in and see them in person, buy a panel or two along with a starter pack of beads, a few balls and some pins, then sit down and have some fun with beads and sequins. We don't have to use fabric just to make quilts!</span></div>

Delphine worked one these gorgeous samples at the Bayshore Christian Women's Quilt Retreat this past weekend! <span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Aren't they just stunning? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"><br /></span>
The blue quilt is made from the Blue Paradise fabric line by Benartex, and the orange and pink one is Sun Drenched by Benartex. The pattern is a free download (available here: <a href="http://www.benartex.com/uploads/Image/quilt-gallery/537/Flowerscapes_pattern.pdf">www.benartex.com/uploads/Image/quilt-gallery/537/Flowerscapes_pattern.pdf</a>). You can also pick up a printed version of the pattern in the shop for a $2.00 color copy fee, or we'll give you the pattern free if you buy all the fabric needed to make the quilt! The pattern makes a 42-block quilt. Delphine used half the fabric called for and made 20-block quilts, plus 4 extra blocks to use in the backing and for other projects with other prints from the collection.<br />

Here's the top of the Blue Paradise quilt:</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Delphine has been working on making a sample of Primitive Gatherings' Antique Flower Garden! It's a beautiful wool applique on flannel, which is so nice for your hands to work with.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Here's the cover of the pattern, showing what the finished quilt will look like (it finishes at 44" x 46"). We have the recommended flannel for the background plus wool kits from Primitive Gatherings for the applique! </span><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">The wool kit is not pre-cut. You do need to trace out all the pieces onto fusible and then cut them out. But we like tracing and cutting with scissors, so that part can be enjoyable and relaxing, not tedious.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">The totally fused quilt top! Delphine made an "oops" when laying it out and realized half-way through that the fabric was </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">width-wise</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">, rather than </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">length-wise</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> on the board. So the nap of the flannel is exactly going sideways, but you really can't tell even close up. And now the quilt is wider than it is long, the exact opposite of the pattern layout! But, at that shape, it'll look nice on a wall, so not a bad mistake to make.</span></div>

Our National Quilting Day festivities have begun! Come on in and join the fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want to know a little more about National Quilting Day, here's a little summary of it's history based on the National Quilting Association's website (<a href="http://www.nqaquilts.org/nqd/">nqaquilts.org/nqd/</a>).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
National Quilting Day began in Kentucky with the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society. In 1989, they decided to set aside the third Saturday of March for a "Quilters' Day Out" to celebrate Kentucky's rich quilt-making heritage. It was a hit! Just two years later, in 1991, the National Quilt Association officers were so excited about the event that they voted to make it national. The first National Quilting Day was held in 1992, and quickly grew into a world-wide celebration of quilts and quilting. In just the very first year, quilters from all over the world asked to participate and were gladly welcomed in. And it's been going ever since, on every third Saturday in March. This year, that's tomorrow! But our celebration at the shop has already started and will run through Monday!</div>

Judy Stone pieced it and Vicki Holloway quilted it. They did a great job (as always)! Delphine is spending her time at the quilt retreat binding it, and it will be hanging in the store next week.</span></div>

It makes a beautiful quilt called "Radiant" that has the "radiating and shimmering effects of a mountain spring". Even better, the kit is entirely precut! Delphine sewed it together in about a day and a half. Some people find the colors masculine, and others simply find them soothing. The kit makes a throw-sized quilt that finishes at 62" by 71".</span><br />

We've been making lots of little boxes at our quilt retreats, and we wanted to share the fun with all of you! Here are directions for making your own little boxes out of old calendars, cards, or paper. The sturdiness of the paper you use will determine how sturdy your box is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First off, here are the written instructions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--PHWIUk6njg/VNjDR0IW9UI/AAAAAAAATW0/Ho_-Lj-EqhE/s1600/IMG_20150205_122025_695.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--PHWIUk6njg/VNjDR0IW9UI/AAAAAAAATW0/Ho_-Lj-EqhE/s1600/IMG_20150205_122025_695.jpg" height="320" width="259" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here are the pictures illustrating those instructions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut your card or calendar to be square, making sure that your chosen design remains centered. When you cut the piece for the bottom of the box, cut it smaller than the piece for the top. The easy way to do this: Cut the top and bottom pieces the same size. Then cut 1/4" off two adjoining sides of the bottom piece.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H2-C33oQReY/VNjDU4qPzNI/AAAAAAAATW8/pE8pVU8SUx8/s1600/IMG_20150205_124119_156.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H2-C33oQReY/VNjDU4qPzNI/AAAAAAAATW8/pE8pVU8SUx8/s1600/IMG_20150205_124119_156.jpg" height="400" width="230" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a ruler and mark a large X in the center of your paper/card/calendar.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ5bEuwcvOM/VNjDXvnpVAI/AAAAAAAATXE/7-jUfZ5Njn8/s1600/IMG_20150205_124153_976.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pZ5bEuwcvOM/VNjDXvnpVAI/AAAAAAAATXE/7-jUfZ5Njn8/s1600/IMG_20150205_124153_976.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fold a corner into the center of the X and crease, then fold the creased edge in to meet the line of the X and crease. Do this for all four corners.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wmlHrAXjLYQ/VNjDYfHTJyI/AAAAAAAATXI/8SjK5_i5CuA/s1600/IMG_20150205_124236_979.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wmlHrAXjLYQ/VNjDYfHTJyI/AAAAAAAATXI/8SjK5_i5CuA/s1600/IMG_20150205_124236_979.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfold your paper and make four cuts, as you can see in the picture. The cuts should go the length of one triangle and one square, and there should be two squares between each cut. Make sure the cuts are facing each other! The instructions say to cut off the little triangle you get when you make the cut, but we just leave it on. Put a little glue in the center of your paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b01OGgXJiWU/VNjDd8BM-zI/AAAAAAAATXc/lex13xPe33Q/s1600/IMG_20150205_124741_472.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b01OGgXJiWU/VNjDd8BM-zI/AAAAAAAATXc/lex13xPe33Q/s1600/IMG_20150205_124741_472.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, take the large triangles on each side, and fold them up following the previous fold lines.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eDvyhgxdUdw/VNjDam5qtwI/AAAAAAAATXU/AibUFlLKJfY/s1600/IMG_20150205_124442_550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eDvyhgxdUdw/VNjDam5qtwI/AAAAAAAATXU/AibUFlLKJfY/s1600/IMG_20150205_124442_550.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that you have two sides folded up, fold the last two up and over the tabs. Press and smooth in the middle to make sure that all four triangles that meet there are firmly held down by the glue.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xGQGN-b2S6I/VNjDfSzoFsI/AAAAAAAATXk/K7EJwdQIKaw/s1600/IMG_20150205_124829_324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xGQGN-b2S6I/VNjDfSzoFsI/AAAAAAAATXk/K7EJwdQIKaw/s1600/IMG_20150205_124829_324.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You have a box! Here's the top of ours:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yQ8-f6c9VfY/VNjDhEuToTI/AAAAAAAATXs/82Bux-eEWg0/s1600/IMG_20150205_125328_972.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yQ8-f6c9VfY/VNjDhEuToTI/AAAAAAAATXs/82Bux-eEWg0/s1600/IMG_20150205_125328_972.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and here's the bottom:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6cKkfm8jzPY/VNjDjwxjPLI/AAAAAAAATX4/yxn1iaTIAZ8/s1600/IMG_20150205_125449_354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6cKkfm8jzPY/VNjDjwxjPLI/AAAAAAAATX4/yxn1iaTIAZ8/s1600/IMG_20150205_125449_354.jpg" height="400" width="358" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Lots of little boxes. The largest ones are about 4" in size and were made from 12" pages, while the smallest one started at 4" and is now approximately 1 1/4". So your box will wind up being about 1/3 the size of the paper you start with.<br />
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In case you weren’t able to attend the quilt show last weekend, here is what the Quilts of Valor display looked like! We hung 3 quilts with their presentation cases (pillow cases) and a little blurb explaining the purpose of QOV and our group. The quilts hung in the main hallway, which was on the way to the main entrance of the show. There were many positive comments from the viewers. Good work everyone!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first quilt on the left is the latest quilt that was finished. To date, we have completed 10 quilts – 3 of the snowball quilt (middle one), 2 of the string/star quilt (right quilt), 1 plaid star quilt (left one), and 4 quilts that were donated but needed borders added to bring them up to size. The 11th quilt is all pieced and awaiting quilting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fiona recently explored H.M.Y. (Her Majesty's Yacht) Britannia. The queen traveled all over the world on this, and it did a lot of traveling over the decades it spent in service. It was recently retired and permanently moored in Edinburgh. It really is a floating palace!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Delphine's is on Mackinac Island this week! Delphine and some others from the shop will be vending for the Needle Art Seminar at the Grand Hotel. The seminar begins tomorrow (May 2nd) and runs through May 7th. They have now arrived on the island and begun setting up! I wish I was there, but at least we'll all get to see pictures. Pictures will be posted throughout the Seminar. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Getting to the island was a little unusual today. It's still so icy that the ferries aren't running their regular lines yet, so the journey to the island today was done by putting a bus on a freight ferry!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You may have read about Sister's Choice in our newsletter, and maybe even got a chance to see a little bit of it during last year's Anniversary Celebration. Now, you can see the entire performance at a great venue! Below is all of the info about the upcoming show, copied from the latest shop newsletter. Future performances will also be announced as they draw near.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Thursday, April 10, 7pm - this promises to be a great evening of inspiration!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Backstreet Quilt Shop, located at 110 E Huron Ave in Bad Axe, Michigan is proud to present Sisters’ Choice. Sister's Choice is a Trunk Show of Quilts set to Music, with over 50 quilts and 11 songs. Delphine Ren-Miller and AnnMarie Rowland have been “sisters by choice” for nearly 20 years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Delphine, an award winning quilter, designer and shop owner will be presenting a selection of her favorite quilts from among the 300 she has made or collected over the past 30 years. The quilts range in age from a Jacob's Ladder Quilt made in the 1860s to quilts made by Delphine Ren-Miller in the past 30 years. The quilts encompass everything from "Amish" Miniatures to a King Sized, hand quilted Lone Star surrounded by smaller Lone Stars! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">AnnMarie is a singer song-writer. Ann Marie Rowland is a songwriter with a Folk style appeal. Several of the songs were written by Ann, whose songs reflect her life-long love of quilts. She will take you back to the era of riding in a wagon to church or sitting around a quilting frame with fellow quilters. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Together they bring us color, pattern, and story; quilted together as “Sisters’ Choice.” Join us for this wonderful evening of inspiration and fellowship.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cost is $5.00 per person at the door. RSVP is requested by calling the store at 989-375-4620.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Please come out and join us for an evening of inspiration both musically, through the art of storytelling and through the Quilts that speak of days gone by warming not only the body but the soul.</span></div>

Beatrix the bunny is here for spring! She's a sample of one of our Just Another Button Company pincushion kits. They make such adorable pincushions. She's sitting in a nest of beautiful, fun, and colorful wool eggs. We have patterns and kits available for them as well.</div>
