Where have I been - one might think

I have been sitting around doing nothing but eating bonbons!!!! But if the truth be known we have been busy planning and thinking about all those things that we need to do to get ready for the holidays!

If you have not seen these in real life look what arrived a week or so ago

Our outside signs!!! By night and by day 

We hope they help as you find us in our new location!

I thought that this post would have a

Very large picture of our new signs but that is not to be! I got the call on Friday minutes before the truck was to arrive .... .. that Tuesday of this week is now the chosen day as the truck had broken down .. ... I was disappointed how could that be?? No truck no sign! But maybe tomorrow..

Anyway in spite of all that we had a great time in Seward- good to see so many of you ...  All enjoying the classes and friendship. I very much enjoyed meeting other store owners from the western part of the state.

Here are a couple of pics of our booth 

I know this last one is a little different for us... a new batik modern quilt. Although different for us we love it!!!! 

So when we returned we changed around the store for our first feel of Fall !! We have a couple of models still in the making!

This is a kit made from primitive  quilts and projects - great fall colors! We only have a couple of kits left - with the pattern included it retails for $59.99.

This is our new homespun kit - the colors are so perfect and the fabric makes it soft  and cuddly - it retails for $69.99 and the pattern is included.

To go with this quilt we found some great baskets that can be hung easily with the pack of hanging hooks - and then filled with greenery or fall decorations - at $32 these are good value I believe.

After the Crow girls left in May - I began the Autumnal Pinwheel table runner - and finally it is finished..... Take a look and see what you think...

It is on the front table as you come into the shop - this kit has all the wool, fabric and pattern and retails for $69.00.

Some of you may have seen the fabulous s'mores quilt that was made for us...

Here it is in our booth at the Omaha Guild Show- the carpet in the conference center adds quite a back drop!!

We have re-kitted this - we were waiting on the sashing fabric to come in - if you have the magazine we can remove it from the kit! It sells for $65

Last but not least a table topper with cute pumpkins ready for your Halloween celebrations ..pattern is included and it retails for $50!

If you get a chance pop in to see these models in their true colors! 

Maybe tomorrow I can post pics of my signs.....

Best wishes

Lyn

Phew - we just got some more fabric on the floor

Take a look at Pam Buda's pin money - this another line of gorgeous rich colors ... 

We are cutting fat quarters and half yards as we speak so stop in and take  look - more pretties

This next line is called kitchenette and has a fun retro  look great for aprons !! The colors are fresh reds, teals and black and white..

So just about to head out to Quilt Nebraska in Seward Nebraska. When we come back the shop will be changed and looking a lot like Fall.

Look for pictures soon of our booth!! 

July 19th - weekly update....

So you know I have been telling you about the fabric that is piling up at the front door of my home - well we have some of it now in the store.. yes here is some bright and fun chevrons and large polka dots... we have been thinking about a model or two to make out of this  - this fabric is $11.25 a yard and is ready to cut....   

Then changing up the seasons just a bit we have some more Halloween fabric in - you may remember that we have pillowcases made up as kits ( $12.95) in some lovely color combinations! They make up as quick as a flash and are great trick or treat bags!

For a real treat we also have some fabrics from France - directly from there - lovely toiles on these small bolts......those of you have seen them have had fun playing with them and deciding what to make out of them.... 

So what else have we been doing in the store other than finding a home for fabric!! Our Dear Jane Club met on Wednesday evening and just to show you that some of us (not this author) did finish their Dear Janes on time. And others are very close! Just gorgeous and a challenge for the most experienced quilter! We will be starting up again with a slightly different approach to organizing the Dear Jane Club- so if you are interested let me know and we can get you on the list.

Also just a quick reminder about our Mad Wooly  Monday Club- we are going to kick off with - the Wooly Bits program... A small project each month that will be easily completed and which will add wool nicely to your stash. Call and ask for

details or stop in!

More to come.... 

So what have we been doing this week?

We have almost found a home for everything - and almost found everything we had mislaid - just a couple of things which I am sure will show up very soon! 

But this past week we have seen fabric arrive from every where- it was as if I had timed it just right..... But take a quick look at some of it!!

A little bit more of Aunt Gracie '30's fabric is now on the shelves ..

Yes you are seeing some lovely bright and fresh fabrics from Riley Blake.

 

Also Summit Rose from Marcus

History repeated part II 

And last but not least Jo Morton's Savannah 

So look out for some new models.... Our holiday fabrics are all here but sequestered until those models are made... Fall will be in the shop very soon!!!

We're looking official!

We're looking official! We put up new door signs so we should be easier to find for those of you who haven't been by our new store. We are loving our new location!

It is almost the 4th of July!!!

Just wanted to add some pics 

A farewell to countryside village 

Gracie moved on Sunday ( our long arm) and so all that was left to do was vacuum! 

We enjoyed our "beginning " in this space and want to thank all of you for shopping with us while we were there.
