My sample elves have been working overtime!

Look at what my amazing Sample Elves have been working on. They are simply fabulous! I'm so lucky to have such talented quilty friends.

 

 This is Spirit of Christmas from Marcus Brothers. Rae Lynne made this gorgeous Christmas quilt with a soft reproduction feel. We have kits available & all the coordinating fabric from which to choose for backing. I love the stripey wallpaper print border, don't you?

Look at Color My World from RJR Fabrics. Nancy did a beautiful job on this sample, & the kits are ready to go. It's a big one - 90" X 90."
Check out those amazing brights! Come see it in person.
















Here's Tulip Festival from Benartex, with a gorgeous paper pieced pattern from Animas Quilts. It's a Block of the Month you'll love. Sheri has made the sample & may even have classes if you're interested. We'll be kicking this one off in October. Watch the website for information on registration for the BOM.

Ripples & Reflections Block of the Month

Sweet Sheri has completed the first block in the Ripples and Reflections BOM. Isn't it amazingly beautiful? She does beautiful work. The Hoffman batiks should be in any day now & I can hardly wait to get my hands on them! You can register any time now for the 11 month BOM. I'm sure these monthly kits will go fast.
