New Fabrics from Timeless Treasures

Take a look at this fun group of fabrics that arrived today at the shop! There is something about indigo blue that just is just full of energy. My daughter Kate just painted her room Midnight Blue and yes I was mortified, but it actually came out quite nice! Very dramatic! These fabrics could really add a splash of excitement. Perhaps I'll test those waters with a pillowcase! If you know what I mean. Check out Timeless Treasures website for a free quilt pattern using Indigo.

Yet Another Hip To Be Square Quilt!

Well, we just finished up yet another shop sample using the

beautiful Neptune Collection by MODA.

This one is the Hip to Be Square pattern that is really a fun quilt to make. 12 fabrics- 1/2 yard cuts of 11 & 1 yard of your favorite. I love how the blues & greens all get showcased in each of the blocks. And when Rosemary added her sea shell quilting design ...wow ... the finishing touch!

Got Kits? Absolutely!

PS: Notice that our Trumpet Vine is in full bloom along the fence! If only it would bloom at the porch!

A Sunday on the River

Well no quilting or golfing today! We finally bought a bike rack & decided to venture into Philly for a ride along the Schuylkill River & Art Museum areas. What a beautiful ride & a great way to see a different view of the city. I think the entire loop we did was about 7 miles. With a stop at a Starbucks for refueling of course!

Next time we're thinking of riding alittle further up to Manayunk!

Home now & back to quilting!

A Paper Pieced Gem

Susan J. of Mt. Holly proudly shows off her fabulous paper pieced baby quilt. Susan used Carol Doak's wonderful book & CD, 300 Paper Pieced Quilt Blocks to create her wonderfully whimsical quilt.

Paper piecing has become quite popular this year at the shop, thanks to Kim's wonderful beginners classes & then the newly established Paper Piecing Club that helps students further their skills under Kim's guidance.

Purse Classes!

Making handbags is all the rage now! The patterns out there are just wonderful!



Lynn W. was happy to pose with her new Morgan Bag, a wonderfully roomy bag from Renay Martin's Purse Strings Collection. Lynn completed her bag during a recent class at the shop in under 4 hours!



Look for more purse classes in our soon to be released, summer schedule.

Kids Classes Rock!

I love having the kids come & take classes here at the shop. Here are two of my most recent students after completing the Tote Bag Class! They both worked hard & did a great job. They could not wait to get back to school to show their friends! Keep up the good work girls!
