Happy Saturday!!!!

Hello Quilters!!!!
 
It's been busy in the big city!!!  The Second Saturday Summer Clearance Sale (say that 3 times fast) made for a busy day and helped clear out inventory and make room for some new fabrics that should be arriving in the next week or so!
 
Check out the book section for some new books, Big Blocks, Big Quilts and Double Dipping from the author of the Turning Twenty series.  Very nice quilts and other projects included in each one. 
 
 
The count-down to the retreat is here, I think I have everything ready to take, as long as I don't forget any of it (that's what the to-do list is for)!  I'm getting so excited!!!
 
It's been a busy week and an extra busy day and I'm going to call it done early.  Until next time - Happy Quilting!!!!

Happy July!!!

Hello Quilters!
 
Happy Independence Week!!  June came and went so fast, I'm not sure I remember what happened!!!  The Shop Hop was fabulous and kept me "hopping"!!!  My grandbabies, Brooklyn and Jordyn, were here this past weekend and things were really hopping!!!
 
Check out the pattern section for new patterns from Pieces from My Heart and Teacher's Pet, great looking quilts with a small time investment!
 
The Summer Retreat '08 is full and just around the corner, I'm so excited, can't wait to get there!!! 
 
I will be having a SECOND SATURDAY SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE on JULY 12th, in house only, so if you are in the neighborhood, please stop in!  Selected fabrics will be $4.00 a yard with other sales also!
 
I am scheduled to be in Breckenridge at The Quilting House, August 18th, to teach the Tossed 9-Patch pattern by Eleanor Burns.  This is a quick and easy pattern using charm packs and additional yardage to create a scrappy quilt.  The sample I made took approximately four hours from start to finish for a lap size quilt!
 
I am scheduled to be at the following quilt shows coming up this fall:
 
September 19, 20 & 21 - Shades of Texas Quilt Show - Killeen, Texas
September 26 & 27 - Texas Under Cover Quilt Show - Wichita Falls, Texas
October 3 & 4 - Threads of Texas Quilt Show - Stephenville, Texas
 
If you are in my area or the area of any of these shows, please stop by, I would love to meet you in person!  As usual,quilts are calling, until next time - happy quilting!!!! - A
