Hello Quilters!!!!
Summer has come and gone and before you know it Christmas will be here soon! I purchased a new quilt machine at the end of June and have been spending a lot of time trying to train it to do what I want, have had some really frustrating days but it seems that we are going to be friends after all! The September Shop Hop is over and winners will be announced soon, and the October Shop Hop is well under way! I have extended the free shipping for orders over $50.00 through the month of October.
I still have four openings for the new digital Block of the Month Program by Moda, Greenpiece. It is a 76x76 quilt and includes fabrics from the Aster Manor line by 3 Sisters, Collections for a Cause-Alliance by Howard Marcus, Vine Creek by Kansas Troubles, Blessings by Brannock & Patek and Close to My Heart by Laundry Basket Quilts. All very beautiful fabrics with the option of wool applique' for the alternate blocks or machine embroidery. I am sending out the first shipment of fabrics this week with the remainder to be shipped later in the month once I receive them. My shop sample is almost complete and it is absolutely beautiful! The prices and other particulars are listed on the site in the BOM-Kits section.
Also in the BOM-Kits section you can find my 4-Patch Frolic Block of the month. This is a twelve month program that started in August but there are still three spots remaining if you want to play with us. The first month will include the setting kit and the first month's block, each additional block will be shipped during the third week of each month thereafter. Each month's block is a basic four patch block, you will make four of them and then put them together for a finished block. How you twist and turn your four blocks will determine the look of the finished block! Super easy, great for beginner quilters wanting to do a block of the month program. The applique pieces are optional, if you choose to do them, you will notice that they are large and not very detailed which again makes this BOM beginner friendly.
I am still working on photographing my kit samples and hope to have some new kits to add to the site so be sure to check back!
I've been going to the Quilting House in Breckenridge on the fourth Tuesday of each month with a Mystery Demo and that has been going really well, so if you are in that area during that time, be sure to stop and and visit with us! My last visit for the year is October. I will be concentrating on finishing up some quilts for customers and will be returning to the Fourth Tuesday visit in January, 2010.
Both of the Day and Night retreats have come and gone and great fun was had by all as well as beautiful new quilts! The variations in color in these quilts are remarkable! If you haven't got the book, Day & Night, by Eleanor Burns, you need to get it, trust me, it is a lot of fun and easy to do! The finished product is very striking.
Fall Market is fast approaching and I'm so excited!!!! It's always fun to see the designers and the new things for spring!
After I return from Market I will still have one show remaining - November 13-14 - A Symphony of Quilts - Gainesville, Texas. Still in the process of getting shows lined up for 2010 (which is just around the corner!).
Until next time, happy quilting - Angela
