We're still trying to recoup from market but wanted to share a couple of photos from market. One of the highlights of market is getting the opportunity to meet and learn from the many reknown quilters and designers in the industry. We had the opportunity to visit with Lynn Hagemeier of Kansas Troubles and Jodi Barrows of Square in a Square, just to name of couple. Eleanor Burns of Quilt in a Day and her son, Orion, shared their latest projects - and Eleanor stopped long enough to take a photo with us.
The latest collection to arrive at the shop is Evening Mist by Sentimental Studios for Moda. This beautiful collection has a soft, smoky palette and would make a gorgeous blended quilt.

We've been playing with a new product called Texture Magic.

....or at least winter! This week our flannel started arriving! As this post is typed, it's cool, cloudy and rainy, just the right type of weather to start quilting for your Christmas gift list. And we have the perfect flannel collection for all your holiday projects - Red Rooster's Snow Wonderland Flannel by Whimsicals.
Snuggle into winter with Whimsicals "We can build a snowman" toss and primitive-style snowman border stripe. Have fun with the holly leaves; winter flower and leaves; pine bough and berry stripe; tweedy stripe; geometric; and texture in muted reds, greens, browns, winter grays, and beiges. These charming prints will be perfect in traditional and country quilts with touches of applique.
This line features framed folk art vignettes of primitive angels, crows, quilt blocks and flowers, all in the country palette of muted reds, greens, browns, grays, tans and beiges that Whimsicals is famous for. This fabric line is featured in the new quilt pattern by the same name.

Recently district court clerks from the surrounding area held their monthly meeting in Leoti. For a change of pace, they brought their lunch into the quilt shop and had lunch in our little coffee area. We always enjoy showing off our shop and we got to share in their wonderful lunch.

If the weather outside is too warm for you to think about Christmas yet, then Clementine is for you! This bright and summery collection is perfect for tote bags, children's clothing, aprons, and of course, quilts.
Here's a sneak peek of our shop hop quilt! Finished the top this weekend and waiting to finish the project in the quilting machine so that we can quilt it. The shop hop is September 10 -12. There are 10 shops in the hop, and at each shop you will receive six 3" strips. Each shop will have a different quilt design using all the strips (60 in all). You can then choose which quilt pattern to use to finish your quilt. The bright flowered border is the focus fabric that will be featured in every shop's quilt. Was definitely a challenge to come up with a design using such a variety of strips, but we're pleased with the way it turned out. We're anxious to see what the other shops' quilts will look like.
Janet, and fellow quilter, Betty, recently enjoyed a week in Paducah, Kentucky at the American Quilter's Society Annual Quilt Show. Lots of beautiful quilts, throngs of quilters, piles of fabric, mountains of patterns, jillions of notions....and miles and miles of walking! They took in a couple of Eleanor Burn's shows and paused with her cutout for a photo. Stop in the shop and see the catalog they brought back of all the outstanding quilts that were on display.
