Serenity

I (Katrina) just finished another quilt sample! This is "Serenity" a quilt from Jason Yenter's "Avalon" line and pattern book.

 

As I was working on the blue and white version, I noticed that we had the same prints in another colorway. I wanted to see what it would look like in these colors, so I made a wallhanging (and did change the borders from the print used in the blue & white version, though we do have that print in the bright colors).

Show and Tell

Kathy, one of the ladies who works at the store, brought this in for a show-and-tell today! The pattern is called "Touch of Spring" and is a Judy Niemeyer (Quiltworx) pattern.

If you're interested in making a Judy Niemeyer quilt, there will be a Quiltworx workshop at the store this March! The workshop will be on Sunday, March 10, from 12:30pm to 5:30pm. It will be with Sue Wilson, a certified Judy Niemeyer teacher, and she will guide you through any Quiltworx pattern you want to work on! The workshop fee is $25.

New, Pretty Fabrics!

More new fabrics are in! First is a fun line by Laurel Burch.

We also have some Laurel Burch socks, and there's only one silk, Laurel Burch scarf left!

Also just in: so many bolts of fabric that I couldn't even take pictures of them all! 

Remodeling

The new section of the store is finally getting a new floor! Also, the walls are now painted, and it's already looking much improved. Soon, the back half of the new side will be ready to be set up as a classroom, and there are plans to have more open sewing days there.

This is the back part of the room as the process was just getting started:

The floor is nearly done, after Dad and Wes spent a good part of their New Year's Day working on it.

 

This is how it looks today. It already looks so much better!

All of the sale item are currently on this side of the doorway. Regular priced items are on the other side (next picture). Since we're getting tired of constantly rearranging everything over here, we'd like to reduce the amount of stuff we need to move when the floor is done. Therefore, until the floor gets done, all sale items are 50% off the original price, and all regularly items in this room are 20% off. The floor will only take a couple more days to finish, so now's the time to get some good prices in this room!
