Mame is so much fun and always has a smile. She recently stitched these great pillows using Moda’s Freebird collection. She also shared a great quilt top that she finished using Moda’s Nature’s Notebook. Whenever Mame comes in, the shop gets a little bit brighter…thanks for sharing Mame!
For those of you that missed our Christmas in July event, we are bringing it to you! And, 3 lucky winners will get a surprise from Santa just for leaving us a comment and telling us which collection is your favorite. See them all here. We also have Chanukah fabric!
The Wish staff loves to make projects to get your creative juices flowing. Here are some of their efforts…First up is Nancy’s Fruitcake Twister! She used the new Twister tool and a pattern from the Let’s Twist book. She used a couple of the blocks to make a cute matching pillow!

First time visitors – Jean and Laura- came to see us a couple of weeks ago. Jean’s son, Steve, is one of my good friends and Jean is a quilter! Laura, Jean’s granddaughter is the lucky recipient of several of Jean’s quilts. Great to meet you Laura and Jean…thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt!
Need a great bag? Kim recently made this fun Birdie Sling using the pattern by Amy Butler. I’ve got 2 of these and the are the best bags! Great job Kim!
Kaitlin chose these beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabrics to make her first quilt. I think she did a fabulous job in choosing colors, don’t you? Great job Kaitlin, thanks for sharing!
You have probably all heard the term “dedicated quilter”, you know the one that has at least a couple of sewing machines, a room dedicated to sewing and a stash that rivals any store – she is the envy of all of us. Well, Saturday at our Christmas in July event, I saw someone wheeling a chair out of the office and out to the parking lot….I wondered what in the world was going on…and in rolls Katy! You see, Katy is pregnant and on bedrest but she didn’t want to miss the unveiling of the Christmas fabric and all of the fun! She convinced Lorraine to roll her in and help her shop – I think Katy is the most dedicated of all…don’t you?
If you haven’t been to Cut Up Club, you are missing some GREAT quilts! Look at this beauty that Donna recently finished! This is the Color Falls pattern by Cozy Quilts, stop in and we will help you find fabrics to make this your very own!
Helena shared this fabulous quilt the other day. This is for her husband and her choices of color are amazing! She has inspired me to make this quilt for my bed…someday! Isn’t it gorgeous?
Our own camera shy Janice McSweeney created this beautiful quilt. She used Angela’s Flower Garden pattern by my friend Frank of FranksThreeWiseGuys fame. It was quilted by Three Bears Quilting and is stunning. It will be hanging in the store again soon, so come by and see it! Janice is camera shy but I have to tell you that she is the glue that holds our online operations together, so peek in the office and say hi to Janice next time you come for a visit.
