Hello Quilters!!!
Hope your spring has been spring-ie and full of quilting! It's been busy here and new Christmas fabrics have been gradually coming in and they are beautiful! Currently I have received the Kansas Winter line by Kansas Troubles and a couple Frosted Memories snowflake backqrounds. Coming soon will be the Winter Song and Glace lines from Moda and Robyn Pandolph's Rose de Noel, an absolutely gorgeous line of fabrics!
I will be posting a couple of new Block of the Months in the next few weeks and participation space will be limited so sign up quick! One will be a three color block of the months entitled Four Patch Posie starting in July and will be $10.00 a month plus setting fabrics. The other will be the new block of the month from Moda entitled Greenpiece. It is a sampler with wool applique. You will purchase all the fabrics for this quilt the first month, and each month for the next twelve months I will email the pattern to you. This quilt uses 35 different fabrics, simple piecing and applique and a beautiful result! The exact cost has not yet been determined but should be somewhere around $180.00. The fabrics for this quilt will ship half in September and the remaining half in October, and the first block will email in September.
The fall lines from Moda are wonderful, as usual, and I have ordered new fabrics from Fig Tree Quilts, French General, and Minick and Simpson, all which will start arriving in September, can't wait!

I will be hosting another Summer Retreat this year the last weekend in July. It will be at the Cimarron Ranch in Marble Falls, Texas and we will be making the new Eleanor Burns quilt, Day and Night. Look in the Book section and read about this beautiful quilt. I have made a wall hanging and a lap size quilt from this technique and it is super, super easy and so exact! It is absolutely great! The retreat is not yet full and if you are interested in attending, please contact me and I will forward registration information to you. We will be making the black and white version of the quilt as shown on the book cover and you will have your choice of color pops, red, yellow, green, turquoise or hot pink. These fabrics are available in Fabric section of my site.
Until next time, happy quilting!!!! - Angela
