“Getting Ready for Christmas in July” Sale

Add us to your “fun things to do” list! Please join us:

June 18-21, 2009

for a “Getting Ready for Christmas in July” Sale!!

We are making room for lots of new Christmas fabrics that will be arriving SOON, so join us for great discounts on fabrics as well as snacks and door prizes.

You’ll also want to come in during the sale to see lots of great new items arriving daily from our trip to Spring Quilt Market! We have a large order of Maywood Studios’ Woolies flannels — these are the gorgeous flannels that look like wool. You can see Woolies here. We’ve had them in the past, they’ve always flown out the door. We also ordered several bolts of that great black houndstooth.

We’re also adding to our wool selection. We saw so many trims and embellishments that are great for wool projects –– we’ve re-stocked many Sue Spargo books and patterns to inspire you in your wool endeavors. Many of Sue’s designs are great take-along projects because her wool applique is whipstitched. And, trust us, it’s never too hot for a fun wool project!

We’re also expecting our order of gorgeous large leather buttons — these would look great on so many projects from bags to garments to quilts! These are VERY unique!

And, you know you need some: giant rick-rack is coming in just about every color imaginable. This was a heavy trend for many quilt designers. We saw it everywhere!

Coming shortly and in time for our sale event are two fantastic quilts using Maywood Studios’ Gelato fabrics. We will have Orbital View 2 and Constellation Cabin on display. The Gelato fabrics are wonderful on their own, but the quilts will give you some ideas of how to use them. These quilts both have a Michigan connection as they were designed by Michigan designer Mary Lou Hallenbeck.

Orbital View (we will have kits for this one)

Constellation Cabin

Vibrant and fun, no? We’ll have these quilts for a month beginning around June 12.

Won’t you stop in for the sale and get some great savings and inspiration? We hope to see you!

Patti will be teaching Building Blocks. We have fabric bundles ready and waiting for you in five colorways.

Building Blocks is a super-fast quilt and would look wonderful in so many colorways!

Always popular is the Radiant Suns class–that is scheduled for the end of May. If you’d like more curved piecing, we’ll be scheduling the Rainbow Block class shortly. This is the block used for our Neptune quilt.
