A Straggler

One more Christmas fabric group arrived today - only a month late. But we're glad it's here because its so beautiful, it sparkles - literally! A Dicken's Christmas by Sentimental Studios for Moda is overlayed with gold sparkles, perfect to add some dazzle to your holiday home decor. We can picture tree skirts, table runners, candle mats, stockings, wall hangings and more made from this fabric. Of course, pictures don't do this collection justice - so you'll just have to come visit us and see for yourself! :)

Double Diamonds = Double Delight!

Several new rulers were introduced at quilt market this spring and we demonstrated some of them at our Christmas in July Shop Hop on Saturday. One of our favorites is the Double Diamond ruler. This ruler creates a lattice work in fabric that's just beautiful. Just imagine all the project possibilities with this ruler. Add decoration to bags, tablerunners, sweatshirts, jackets and more! There are three patterns currently available for this ruler and we have all three, so stop by the shop and pick up yours today!

Don't miss this Friday & Saturday, July 9 & 10 for our Christmas In July Mini Shop Hop with Quilter's Stash in Syracuse. Join us on Friday morning at 10 a.m. for a "Christmas Brunch & Unwrapping Party" and see our new Christmas arrivals. We're so excited, just like little kids on Christmas Eve! Here's a sneak peek......
Then join us again on Saturday at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. for our "Rulers Rule" demos. There's lots of new rulers that were introduced this spring at quilt market and we'll share a few of them.

There's no 'mystery' this year about our Shop Hop Quilt because, frankly, we just love it and couldn't keep it a secret! It's a Kansas Troubles quilt featuring packages & ornaments using Lynne's latest collection - Wrapped in Paisley.

We'll have lots of fun, goodies & prizes, so make plans to attend!
