Hi all!

To a lot of people, "Spring" says BASEBALL!  We've got a great selection of baseball theme fabrics, plus a couple of pillow case bundles ready to ship!

Hope to see you soon!

Have a great week!

Hi all!

I think that SPRING has sprung here in Kansas!  We've had several days in a row that can actually be called "nice".  :)  If you too want some "Spring", please check out our newest quilt kits!

We just received two new groups from Moda that feature "convenience" cloth.  Convenience cloth has often been referred to as "cheater" cloth.  No more! This stuff looks great! The printing is so good, that once quilted it is difficult to tell it's not actually been appliqued!  :) 

One, SUMMER'S BASKET OF FLOWERS - with sunflowers, is designed by Kansas' own Terry Clothier Thompson, and the other RUBY'S FLOWER GARDEN is designed by Washington's Kathy Schmitz.  We've got yardage and kits, ready to go!  Check them out here!

SUMMER'S BASKET OF FLOWERS Finished 68" x 68"

RUBY'S FLOWER GARDEN Finished 60" x 72"

http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=15223

We have a great variety of kits which can be seen here:

This "great" GATSBY quilt uses simple appliqué to create a graphic effect with wonderful fabrics from Timeless Treasures.  See them all here:

American Past Time (baseball)

The Wizard of Oz (the entire collections of both Under & Over the Rainbow) from Quilting Treasures are still available!  Be sure to check it out here:

  I love designer Jason Yenter's forward to his GARDEN GLOBES pattern.  His description of his "real" garden sounds a lot like mine! :)  He more than makes up for his neglected yard with the AWESOME fabrics in his latest collection Floragraphix II from In The Beginning Fabrics.  Click here for some detailed images of these incredible fabrics available in 4 colorways:

MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO is another project featuring Moda fabrics.  This kit starts with pre-cut 2½" strips, that I've already cut for you!  I just LOVE my die-cutter!  The simple directions for this basic rail-fence quilt are found in the book, STRIP DELIGHT, and your "Sock Monkey" quilt will be done in no time!

If you're already enrolled in our BE ATTITUDES block-a-month, you'll soon be getting the latest kit for BE POSITIVE.  Isn't this cute?!  If you order the program now (we have just a couple slots available, and we're not adding any more), we'll catch you up "quick" and then send you a block-a-month, as we get them cut, through November.

UPCOMING EVENT - ONE DAY BUS TRIP!

If you live near Salina, Manhattan or Emporia, KS, why don't you jump on one of our FOOL FOR FABRIC BUSSES and come see us on Saturday April 5th!  Each bus will originate at a different shop and visit each of the others in one day!  Goodies, lunch, snacks and fun included!  Click here for details: [Sorry, the Newton bus already has a waiting list.]

Lily is in Italy, having a great time, according to her emails!  Hey, the first day she found a cute little leather jacket to buy!  That's my girl!  Randy & I are off to Oregon for a long-weekend.  I'm looking forward to seeing previews of new fabric lines at Maywood Studios.  Yes, the shelves are full now, but we'll need more in a couple of months, right?!  Randy & I are looking forward to seeing the ocean and exploring the "historic highway" that runs along the river and doing some sight-seeing while we're in Portland.  This sounds like a "full" couple of days but I'm "up" for it! :)

Feel free to come to the shop while I'm gone, as the crew promises to keep it open! I know they've been marking fabric down and taking it back to the SALE ROOM as they've been moving in the new fabrics, so you might want to stop in to see what they've marked down while I'm away!  ;)  Be sure to check BARGAINS & SPECIALS in the web store as they are marking stuff down there too.

Hi all!

Happy LEAP DAY!  

http://www.sewnatural.net/nl.asp?s=frog

http://www.sewnatural.net/nli.asp?iid=13503

I feel like I was just wishing you a "Happy New Year", and now we've leapt all the way through 2 entire months!

We have certainly been busy.  Boxes arrive daily!  Feel free to send me an email if you're looking for some fabric that I've said we have but that isn't on the web.  Many of these new items are still being "prepped" to be loaded, i.e., the images acquired, cropped, descriptions written, etc.  :)

Here's a list of just some of the newest fabrics in the store and a link to the appropriate department in the web store.

  We've created kits for several new projects.  Some we've actually pre-cut parts for you.  Mary whipped up this darling MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO quilt at our recent Hyatt retreat.  She started with 2-1/2" strips which we've die-cut and included in the kit.

The pattern for this simple rail-fence quilt can be found in the book, STRIP DELIGHT.

Of course, our favorite thing to do with any group of fabrics is MAKE A TRAVEL PILLOW CASE!  So, be sure to check out the latest offerings on the web and stop in to see what else we've "whipped" up!  :)

Lily's Spring Break starts in a little more than a week.  The entire second year class (at Cottey College) is headed for Italy!  They'll spend some time in Rome and some in Florence.  She's also headed to Pompeii for a day trip.  I'm so excited for her.  We have to make a new PASSPORT HOLDER, of course! :)

  The second week Lily is heading to Ireland with a couple of friends (& one grandmother).  When Lily & I were at Quilt Market she got an autographed copy of TOUR IRELAND WITH PAT SLOAN from Pat.  This book has instructions for 12 projects inspired by a trip Pat took to Ireland.  Projects include LUCK OF THE IRISH table runner, IRISH COFFEE wall hanging, LADY OF THE LAKE quilt, and more!  I wonder how many Lily will want to make when she returns?!

  We've had a great 2008 so far, and hope you can say the same.  Our block-a-month programs are off and running.  It's not too late to sign up for several of them.  Click here for details:
