Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!

It's finally arrived and let me tell you they're even more scrumptious in person than in the magazine ads or even the pictures on the patterns. We have finally received our shipment of McKenna Ryan's All Cooped Up line. You've probably seen the advertisements for it in the last couple months of various quilting magazines and other catalogs. We have the fabric and it is gorgeous! We have a few of the patterns for the Rooster and Chicks appliques, but they're going fast! We are hoping to have kits available this week. Please call or e-mail us if you'd like us to reserve one for you.

As well as the whole line of McKenna's new fabric we also received a couple shipments in the last few days of other just as wonderful batiks. So all in all I believe we have 41 new bolts of batiks gracing our shelves. Let me tell you though, they're not going to last long! Here's what we got in, and yes it's all of these pictured below.

Well, have a great rest of your weekend and please let us know ASAP if you're interested in any of the kits for the All Cooped Up Line. If you haven't seen the fabric or patterns available, you can find a link to Hoffman Fabrics website by clicking here. There are all of the patterns as well as swatches of all of the fabrics included on this page, and as I said before we have them all, but they might not last long. Once they're gone we can't get any more until May. Yuck!



See you all at the shop this week and good luck to all who entered in the Lake Metroparks Farmpark Quilt Show. Hopefully many of you will be getting phone calls in the next few days. Until next time!

Latest Arrivals

I have been slacking a bit on blogging. So sorry but between year end as well as those holidays I just got caught up in the mix and am finally getting back into my rhythm. (Okay weird tanget here: have you ever spelled a word and thought it looked weird? I had to look up rhythm because it just didn't look right but I knew it was right. Weird, but back on subject here.)

How was everyone's holidays? We had family in town and enjoyed some really good times with them, I'll have to put up a picture sometime of all of us. I hope you had a great and safe time, even after the holidays. We've heard a few stories of slips and spills, just remember to be safe out there!

Oh, and before I forget, we drew the name for the ConKerr Cancer Pillowcase donations for December and the winner for the month is Ann Warmuth. Congrats Ann! Once again, thank you for your donations, so far we have received a total of 387 pillowcases for the cause. Thank you all so much!

Alright, I know we are having a slight warm up as far as the weather goes right now, but we have received some absolutely gorgeous and cozy flannels to keep you warm when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Hopefully it won't happen soon, but unfortunately we are in the snowbelt, winter doesn't end til May. But it is coming, right?!

Also, we got a shipment of new Civil War Reproductions in by Barbara Brackman for Moda. Civil War Homefront just came in and we can't get enough of it.

What else, oh! We just got a shipment of new 1930's Reproductions yesterday and I apologize for not having a picture yet. I will take one tomorrow and get it on here to show you. They are adorable and bright and colorful. The perfect thing to cheer up your day when it's looking a little grey and dismal this time of year.

We have several new fabrics coming in the next few months, unfortunately, I can't remember half of them right now. Several new Moda lines are coming in February and March, more Civil War Reproductions are coming in I think every month between now and May (including 3 new lines from Jo Morton), and we just ordered Christmas fabrics that will be here in May and June. I know what you're thinking - we just had Christmas. The good thing to think is this - we order it now, it comes in May and June and then you have several months to get your Christmas projects done, or that's the idea.

I will get organized and post an updated list of what's coming in soon. For now, the only other thing I have to remind you of is it is almost time for the Lake Metroparks Farmpark Quilt Show is just around the corner. Quilts will be dropped off next week and the show will commence shortly thereafter. We will be at the show for Vendor's weekend and we will see many of you at the Show's opening reception. If you have any questions about the show or would like more information, please feel free to give us a call or check out the Farmpark's website by clicking here. This year's featured quilters are Harriet Hargrave and Marti Michell, both wonderful and legendary women in the quilting world. Be sure to go see the show and plan to spend atleast a few hours there, it's never disappointing.

Well, have a great weekend and like I said earlier, I'll be sure to get organized and update you on what we're getting and post pictures of each line when we get it in. Take care and enjoy the slight heat wave.
