August 13, 2011

I'm finding it a bit hard to type right now with Lucy the kitten Patty adopted from the shelter sitting on one arm. She seems to think I should let her type, too.  Some terrible person dropped her in the drive thru at Tawas McDonalds. She is black and just 4 weeks old or so and weighs just 1 1/2 pounds. How she wasn't squashed by a car we don't know. She's such a little bitty bundle of joy!

I've gotten a bit behind on my blog. The shop has been VERY busy! We are getting more new fabric in each week. Last week we got 7 new bolts of Hoffman hand-dyeds and a nice assortment of blue and whites called Normandy. Next week we will be getting some new Fairy Frosts, the rest of our Quilts of Valor Fabric,  and another Christmas line called Gifts of the Season. It has a very nice printed Advent Calendar perfect for the grandkids featuring Christmas in the forest with beautiful wildlife illustrations.

I am hard at work on my second book called Tilted Triangles which can be paper pieced or strip pieced with 2 templates which will be included in the book! We are very excited with this new endeavor .

Don't forget about the shop hop in mid October! Patty and I are working on two quilts for the hop - Hop Skip and a Jump into the Holidays. One will feature fall or Halloween fabrics and the other will feature Christmas fabrics. Kits will be available to choose from in both fabric collections. See you at the hop!

For those who are doing the Fiesta Block of the Month, the background is back in stock and we will be all caught up through August by the end of the day today. Remember to let us know if you need another fat quarter of any of the colors. You can get these at any time.
