Kings River Quilt Guild Quilt Show

Pat Bell was one of the featured artists at the KRQG Show this past weekend. Her work is amazing.

She uses lots of embellishments. I wish my photos were clearer.

Check out this beading!

 Don't you love her use of color?

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces!

Radiant Suns Class

We're so pleased to have Cara Gulati from Doodle Press Quilt designs join us next month for a class on her Radiant Suns pattern.

 She'll be here Friday, September 27 for a full day of instruction. Her work is absolutely stunning.

 

We have her Radiant Suns Tool/Pattern available in the shop, along with her gorgeous quilt. You should stop in to see it, even if you can't take her class.

Her work is so inspiring.

There are just a couple of spaces left in the class, so hurry in if you're interested.

Summer's End

Well, tomorrow's the day I officially go back to school to prepare for the new school year. Vacation is over for me.

This summer has been a wonderful adventure filled with family, friends - old & new - as well as some serious relaxing.

I spent most of July at the shop, even though it didn't seem so much like work. We changed it up, had some terrific (delicious) parties, & made some great plans for the upcoming months. 

Richard & I completed our shop projects (including rearranging the office so we can share the space & both work side by side.) We finished some family quilts to commemorate important events. We even cleaned out a closet or two, & still were able to spend some late afternoons floating in the pool.

Maybe your summer isn't ending just yet - heaven knows our warm weather will hang around for another two months - but I hope you're enjoying time with those who are important to you. I hope you're working on your favorite projects & making time to be creative. 

Enjoy!

FINtastic Mermaid Summer Mini Retreat

Well, I'm ALMOST recovered from our FINtastic Mermaid Retreat this past weekend. The dishwasher is still going full force, huffing & puffing away.
My kitchen is ALMOST clean again from all the cooking & preparing.
But we had a wonderful time! I love to see what everyone is working on.

Here are a few highlights - you'll love our Mermaid Retreat Quilting Boogie!

Fun & games

New Christmas Fabric!

If you have been to our shop much, you know.
It's pretty obvious.
I have a serious weakness for Christmas fabric!
It's a curse...or a gift...hard to say...
but

 I LOVE Christmas fabric!

There's an emphasis on red...



and today we noticed a blizzard of snowflake prints! ;)

We have LOTS of poinsettias & cardinals.

You'll find Robert Kaufman, Moda, Benartex, In the Beginning, Timeless Treasures, Clothworks, & Northcott.

There's a LOT of gorgeous Christmas fabric. I'm not sure how this happened...

 

but stop in & check it out!

We have our Jolly Jingle Workshop next week - so it will be a perfectly Christmasy time.
We'd love to see you!

Plan to join us for our Harvest Hop!
