Show and Share from our Customers!

We have such amazing customers! With sewing becoming more popular with the younger generation (Yay!), we have seen a huge resurgence of young moms sewing for their children. I know that I (Susie), personally, loved to sew for my children when they were still small enough to want the clothes I would make for them! Now that they are older, I am enjoying sewing for my friends' little girls and teaching others to do the same.

Terri and Amanda are two such moms who love making beautiful outfits for their girls!



Terri made this gorgeous dress and matching ruffle pants for Alayna using fabric from our shop and Sandi Henderson's Portabello Pixie Pattern, Claire. She is adorable, Terri!



Amanda made this vintage-style apron for Sydney from our Quiltworks Delilah fabric! She is so sweet! Can't you see these on all the little girls in your life? If only they could stay this small!



And, for fun, look at Alayna in her 70's retro outfit. She had 70's day at school and her mommy embellished her outfit with Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks fabric plus made her a matching head band. We think she looks groovy, baby!

We know that sewing for our children is another way we can tangibly show our love for them! You ladies keep up the terrific work!

And if any of you are interested in learning more about sewing children's clothing, give us a call or email! We would be happy to plan a class and add it to our new class schedule!

New Arrivals and Details of our March Sale!

March is just around the corner, and we are already looking forward to Spring! With the birds singing and daffodils blooming, our thoughts are turning toward bright colors, and sweet pastels, and new quilt projects to brighten up our surroundings!

If you visit the shop, you will not be disappointed with the selection of fabrics, patterns, and other delights to help you achieve the goal of finishing those Spring projects. This week, we have received a shipment of some gorgeous fabrics called Fauna and Flora and they are beautiful and bright! We also received Classic Neutrals and Classic Reds some of which have a wonderful reproduction flavor. We have received a few more batiks to add to our ever-growing selection and some Earth Spirit which are beautiful in naturescapes.

And, just in, "Turnovers" from Moda in a gorgeous new line called Patisserie -- these are absolutely scrumptious! Turnovers are simply 6" squares cut into half-square triangles. These sets have 2 each of 40 different fabrics to make a total of 80 half-square triangles. We will also be getting some of these fabrics on the bolt as soon as they are released for shipment from Moda. And to make your decision even easier about what to do with these sweet "Turnovers", we have Joanna Figueroa's new book, The Pastry Shoppe, which features 6 different quilt patterns using the Patisserie Turnovers.

Our sale for the month of March is 20% off the legendary Kaffe Fassett's stripes! These fabrics are so versatile and we hear that many are no longer available. So, now is a perfect time to get some. The week of St. Patrick's Day, we will have a select group of green fabrics at 20% off and, of course, Gloria's pick is 15% off for the entire month. Make sure you keep checking here for all the latest updates! And, if you would like to share photos of your finished projects, email them to us and we will put them in our online gallery for all to see!

Come in and see what the "buzz" is all about! We love seeing your smiling faces!

Highlights from the Super Bowl (I mean the Super Bowl Sale)!

We had a terrific time on Saturday with our Annual Super Bowl Sale! It was a gorgeous, sunny day outside, and just as sunny on the inside, with so many of our dear customers coming by to shop! The shop was all a-buzz with the delightful sound of excited chatter. Beautiful fabrics, beautiful friends, and so much inspiration -- what more could you ask for?



We worked hard all day cutting fabric, picking out patterns and books, and helping you all choose new projects to work on for the coming weeks. Martha Steele even taught her photo transfer class in the midst of all the excitement! When all was said and done, we had a record-breaking day!



At the end of the day, look where we found Gloria! All curled up on the couch with one of her cozy quilts!



If you were not able to make it in on Saturday, we missed you! Stop by and see all our new fabric, patterns, and, of course, our Janome sewing machines. We still have a few machines that have been drastically reduced! They won't last long at these prices. We also have our quarterly class schedule ready for you to pick up.

We want to thank each and every one of you for your support and want you to know that we truly appreciate you! You are blessing to each of us!
