Hi all! Happy Summer! It is sooo HOT here today! On days like today, the early settlers may have had a second thought or two. Lifting water from a hand-dug well would have made building a wind-mill an event to celebrate! We are thankful for, and in awe of, those early Kansans who persevered. Help us CELEBRATE KANSAS and our sesquicentennial - 1861 - 2011! Plan to join us for our 3-day QUILT SHOP HOP, Sept. 30, Oct. 1 & 2. We now have a sample of the CENTRAL KANSAS QUILT SHOP HOP 2011 FABRIC! Check out this EXCLUSIVE fabric designed by Jason Yenter of In The Beginning Fabric. We had a lot of fun introducing Jason to Kansas! We are taking pre-paid PRE-ORDERS, with the fabric being available for pick-up or shipping Sept. 30th, at the start of the Shop Hop.

Today's heat makes me think of AFRICA!
One article I read claimed that non-Africans most often think of the SAVANNAH when they think of Africa, and I am no different! Check out our AFRICAN INFLUENCED fabrics department for a variety of textures & images: http://www.sewnatural.net/nl.asp?p=0&c=380
http://www.sewnatural.net/nl.asp?p=0&c=127 While Winter fabrics look somewhat out of place today, there are many of you who are smart enough to know that staying inside the air conditioned house working on WINTER PROJECTS keeps you cool now and you'll keep your cool this Holiday season with timely, finished projects that will warm the hearts of friends & family this CHRISTMAS! Reduce stress twice by sewing now! :) LaVerna just finished this CHARMING BABY LOG CABIN quilt, complete with PRAIRIE POINTS. http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=28155 She used Jason Yenter's WINTER SOLSTICE fabrics. We have the entire line and will have them on the web soon! So keep this link handy: http://www.sewnatural.net/nl.asp?p=0&c=550

Designer Diane McGregor, has renamed my version of ASIAN ODYSSEY, RISING MOON. I liked her design, but when I got to the appliqué circles, I was reminded of "moons", which led me to "moon over mountain", an old, classic quilt block, and next thing I knew, I was cutting wedges out of my circles which totally changed the design! I started with a custom assortment of 10-inch SQUARES which we cut from some of our ASIAN FABRICS. Diane has customized her pattern to explain my techniques, and you can only get it from me. :) Order my KIT or the PATTERN ONLY here: http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=28015
