The whole line of the Grinch fabric has arrived & is selling fast! Click on this link to check it out http://www.robertkaufman.com/fabrics/how_the_grinch_stole_christmas/

We have Riley Blake Halloween and Christmas fabric in stock. We kitted this cute pattern featuring the Halloween line & have a really cute Christmas one kitted also.



This sunflower quilt is a class in August, taught by Suzanne. The pattern actually makes 9 sunflowers, but Suzanne used 4 for this wallhanging, and the rest in a tablerunner. A great idea if you don't want a big quilt.

Sweet Pickens by Darlene Zimmerman, a Clothesline Club line. Our Clothesline club is going strong. We also have exclusive kits made with Clothesline Club patterns.

Lakeside's newest line. CUTE!! We cut some charm packs too.

This is just one block from the Baltimore Liberty, machine applique class being taught by Erin Dillon. If you ever wanted to learn how to do beautiful machine applique by machine, then this is the class for you. Erin is extremely knowledgeable and patient. The evening class is full, but a daytime class starts Friday, June 2nd. This will be an ongoing class.

More Banners! These continue to be a popular item. We have re-kitted some months & now have January through October in stock.

Another series of our beginning quilt class starts in June. The ladies from the last class had an awesome time & formed a great sewing group friendship.

The Southern California Quilt run begins in June. The stores have been divided in to four seasons. We are WINTER! Each store will hand out a charm featuring something from the season. We have an adorable snowman charm. Collect them all & qualify for additional prizes by visiting each store.

Fun new novelty kits. The owl quilt is an original pattern.

Look at this cute tablerunner, featuring fabrics from Moda's Trick or Treat line. We have the fabric & we have kits.

Our Civil War section has moved. Come see the new Jo Morton line we just received.

WinterBerry Lane from Whimsicals is a cute Christmas line featuring snowmen. We also have some great advent calendar panels.


We are planning more classes, kits, and have lots more fabric arriving in the next few weeks. Come in to see what's new. We look forward to seeing you!

Spring Fling is coming soon!

We are joining 7 other stores for our annual Spring Fling run. There are some great prizes & each store will be handing out a fat quarter and a pattern block. Visit all the shops to receive a copy of the complete pattern. Each shop has done the pattern in unique fabrics - here is our version: we will have fabric kits available while supplies last.

Also coming up in March are the following classes:
Pamala's Party - Each month Pamala picks a kit to teach a class on. The class fee is free if you buy the kit. This month she has designed a cute Easter Quilt.
Beginning Quilt Class - In this class you wil make a cute Sampler tabletopper quilt. Learn to make some of the most popular quilt blocks, and techniques needed to move on to more difficult projects.

Pamala is also teaching another texture magic class. Learn to make an adorable tablerunner using texture magic, a fun process used to shrink fabric.

We started kitting monthly banners and they have become a huge hit! These banners are perfect for hanging on the wall, or to give as a gift. We have January thru June ready to go! Here is a picture of March, April & May. Hurry in - they are selling fast!

For those who would like to honor their military hero, we have some fabric that honors four branches, the Army, Navy, Air Force & Marines. This quilt pictured was made for the sample makers son, who served in the Air Force.

 

We hope to see you for the Spring Fling!

Kitty Cat!

Sign up to make this kitty doll with Pamala -February 26th from 10AM to 4PM. The instructions include directions to make different wool jackets for different seasons. She is currently wearing her Spring jacket. We won't have the pattern available to sell separately, so if you want to make it, please call & sign up for the class.

We Won!

We won a best booth award at Road to California! We were soooo excited! It makes all the hard work worth it. A special thank you to the judges from Road to California.  Lots of credit goes to Beth & Cindy who make setting up the booth look so easy, but we all know its alot of work.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us at Road. We always have a great time seeing everyone. The Monday after Road, Debbie from Wooden Spool Designs taught a class at the store. Once again, we had such a good time. There were 3 fun projects made from wool. I will show you 2 that I was able to finish in class. We hope to make this an annual event at the store. The pumpkin and acorn are new patterns that Debbie will debut this Spring. How lucky we were to be able to make them ahead of the pattern release. Thanks Debbie!

We have lots going on in the store. Lots of kits, lots of new classes, and more to come...Here is a little preview, but you will want to come in to the store to see what else we have going on.

Suzanne is teaching the Pinwheel Star. She has taken the pattern and made a cute tablerunner from a pack of our pre-cut charm squares. The tablerunner is done in Easter fabrics, but would look good in any fabrics. What an awesome gift for someone. This is a really great class & you learn how to do inset seams. The pattern for the class is for a full-size quilt, so once you learn the technique, you can keep on making blocks. 

We hope to see you soon!

And the best part of today - we are celebrating a birthday!! This person is someone who I am so blessed to have in my life. She has been a great friend and I love working with her at the shop. She truly adds to the lives of the people she knows. I know that all of the staff and customers at the shop would agree! I will give you a hint - her name is Beth! If you needed ONE more reason to stop by and say hi - then this is it. Come say Happy Birthday. We have a great day of surprises planned for her :)

Road to California & a Guest Teacher & a Fat Quarter Sale!

It's finally here! Road to California! Visit our booth at the Ontario Convention Center - we have 50 or more NEW samples and kits!
