Hi all!

Yea!  It is Spring Break here and the weather just may be cooperating.  Not terribly warm, but we did see the sun today and my neighbor's yard has some flowers showing!  (Nothing in my yard, but then again, I've given up gardening, so they'd practically have to be "volunteer", and we all know what those really are.  LOL)

Want some beautiful BIG flowers right now, check out Cleo's Designs here:

The store has been lively all week.  
We love it when you stop to introduce yourself as one of our web customers!  Thanks!

We've enjoyed meeting lots of great kids on break as well as many of you who are just traveling through.

I enjoy seeing the enthusiasm in the young teens & 20-somethings.  Really, it is something that has changed in recent years.  Quilts are now "cool" and there is so much "cool" fabric that they approach it very differently.  Maybe it has something to do with less or no exposure to sewing in school, maybe it is the the retro thing or the likes of etsy and all the cool crafts being done.  Whatever it is, they are much more engaged in the process when they come into the store, and we love it.

As you probably know by now, I am attracted to all types & styles of fabric.  I'm also trying hard to figure out what appeals to guys who quilt.  So, in the vein of "cool" and "guys", I'm currently in love with Douglas Day's new fabric designs for Free Spirit Fabrics.

Check out BE A MAN and 100% REBEL!  Way cool!

Lily was home at the beginning of the week for Spring Break.  She & Rita decided to "tackle" the BARGAIN STORE.  They moved and re-arranged lots of fabric & display cabinets. Anita & Jennifer have been working on further markdowns on short-bolt fabrics, bundling and labeling for "quick pick-up".  So you will find lots of new 3-yard BORDER BUNDLES, 5-yard BACKING BUNDLES as well as bundled SHORT ENDS & new BARGAIN FAT QUARTERS.

New FLANNEL arrived early in the week and we are expecting a shipment of MARCUS CLOSEOUTS any day.

So, be sure you stop in to see what's new!
