On a Roll with Roll – Ups

Mar27

We just finished kitting some more of these wonderful Make-Up roll up projects in ALMOST every color imaginable. We especially love this leopard one! They are so nifty, great for protecting brushes and keeping them from floating around in your make up bag. They even work great for kids’ pencils, crayons, art tools, etc. And since we DO work at a quilt shop, we may just need one for rotary cutters, chalk pencils and Frixion pens! They come neatly folded, tied up with the ribbon used in the pattern, and nicely packaged in a clear bag. For only $7, pattern included, they make a great gift!

Pots Full O’ Posies

Class: April 5th, starting at 10:30 a.m.

Cost: $10

Dimensions: Approx. 14″ x 27″

Hello Spring!

Mar21

Just in time for the first day of spring…. We have this cheery Lakehouse fabric on our shelf! Yes the dots and gingham are great basics, but the birdies are just Oh – so – Yummy! Despite the gloomy weather we keep hearing about, this would brighten anybody’s day! Hmmm…… I wonder what we (and you) will do with it? I am thinking something with our new Double Strip Ruler… Give us some ideas!

In the meantime, enjoy soaking up all of its happiness!
