Store Samples

More and more new samples just keep being made! The ones here have nearly all been made by different people. Here are some of the latest:

This is a gorgeous sample made from the Botanica II - Spring line. We are making kits of it.

This stunning quilt is a Judy Niemeyer pattern called Indian Summer. We also have kits of this one:

 

These little guys are "Pin Pals" from a pattern by Indygo Junction:

This is a quick-and-easy strip quilt I made because I wanted to use a really cute stripe from the "Little Bear Counts" line. It just needs to be backed, quilted, and bound. The binding will probably be a nice, bright orange from the line. We don't have kits of this, but can easily cut a kit for you.

This is a sample of the "Majestic Mountain Quilt" by 3 Dudes Quilting. It just uses a Bali pop, 2 extra strips, and some background fabric.

This is a very pretty table topper sample, showing off our Easter/spring fabrics:

 These are tulips from a pattern by the Bigfork Bay Cotton Company. We have several of their patterns and kits, and they are all stunning. They're essentially paint-by-number that uses fabric and fusible instead of paint.

This is another Bigfork Bay pattern. We have the pattern, but the sample isn't at the store. This is one that a friend made and Mom (Delphine) quilted it for her.

...and there are many more inspiring samples in progress!

Square-In-A-Square Lecture/Trunk Shows with Jodi Barrows

Free Event!

Jodi has taken her love for quilting and combined it with her love for the Old West in the creation of

an inspiring lecture and trunk show. During this time, you will discover the history of the Pony

Express and hear stories about unique women in Jodi's family history. Come see the quilts, learn

some American history, and listen to Jodi as she makes this pre-Civil War time period come to life. In

addition, you will see an overview of her amazing Square in a Square technique for piecing a quilt. We were just watching one of Jodi's instructional Square in a Square DVDs the other day, and I'd definitely like to learn it sometime. We ask that you RSVP so we know how many people to plan for, but the entire event is free!

Register early to be in the drawing for 2 - $50.00 gift certificates to Delphine’s!

Apron Trunk Show

The Rebecca Ruth Designs Apron Trunk Show is here! We just finished setting it up today. Stop by to see some great aprons. There are 12 pattern styles available, and there are adult and child's sizes. All of them are great-looking! If you decide you'd like to make an apron, all fabric purchased for use with a pattern from the trunk show will be discounted by 20%.

 

Pincushion Kits!

Remember this cute little sheep pincushion I made? Well, we just got in a whole bunch of other adorable pincushions from Just Another Button Company! These kits really are great because they have absolutely everything you need except for needle and thread and, in some cases, a little bit of glue. And, like I said, they're adorable.

The kits are not inexpensive, but they are worth every penny. All  the buttons are handmade in the USA, in Illinois, and all the kits are assembled there as well. It's a great way to support a small American business, and their products are great!


Mom just finished making a sample of the "Celebration Cupcake" kit. It's topped with chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a strawberry. It almost looks good enough to eat!

These are the other kits we have:

 
 There are also kits for "Button Buddy" pincushions. These are super simple and quick to make. You just need to sew a couple of buttons onto a felt ball. I just finished a sample of "Charlie Chick".

These are the other Button Buddy kits we have:

New Fabrics

These are some very pretty lines from Moda that have recently come in. This first one is "Audra's Iris Garden". We have charm packs, layer cakes, and jelly rolls for this one!

This next one is "La Belle Fleur", and we also have charm packs and jelly rolls for this one.

Last is "Paris Flea Market". We have jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm packs, a fat quarter pack, and an extra wide bolt (the last pink/red one on the right of the picture; it's almost like tapestry fabric)!

Embroidery Envelope Class

On Saturday, April 27th and May 25th, Jeannine Wambold will be teaching a class in making this adorable sewing envelope! It's a two day class and meets from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm both Saturdays. The class fee is $30 plus supplies.

Jeannine uses her envelope a lot and always receives compliments on it. It's made from a pattern designed by Crabapple Hill Studio. Made completely from felted wool, it has a scissor holder, pen pocket, pincushion, heart-shaped double pocket, and removable needle case. It's decorated with wool applique and lovely embroidery stitches plus beads and buttons! This is a great opportunity to learn about working with wool, and to learn some great embroidery stitches!

Ten Little Things

We have a kit available for making a soft book! This is really a great book. It's large, soft, has cute pictures, and has several pages of chalkboard fabric. 

Because of all the supplies required (zipper, grommets, chalkboard fabric, etc.), the price of the kit adds up to a value of $70.99 value, but we are offering it for for $64.99! There are two kits that have the binding pre-made, and those are an $87.99  value, but being offered for $79.99.

In addition, one 36 x 58 package of Inn Control, or your choice of interfacing is required.
