There are so many projects I want to be working on! I'm sure it is the same with you. And then there are things we must do. For me it is the newsletter and classes to get all together for another quarter. It really isn't my most favorite ...

I managed to have two real finishes from last weekend! Both of these quilts came out of Martingale books.

The flying geese quilt came out of the Schnibbles Times Two book by Carrie Nelson, using the small Open Season pattern. The top had been done for next to forever using ...

Yes, you are at the right blog! Beverly and I had fun playing with Batiks. Notice I said playing and not actually making anything! However, while playing Beverly was remarking how beautiful they were and how she needs to make another quilt out of them! We'll see, she will ...

Friday night we had another Midnight Madness. Things always start out tame enough. Maybe it is the delicious dinner that Jean brings and we're all so busy enjoying that or we're on our good behavior because we have some people with us that haven't been with us ...

This past weekend I finally got the last border on the Generals' Wives BOM quilt! I can't believe it. Boy is this baby big! I'm not use to making such big quilts.

The Shoppe isn't use to such large quilts either. There is really no room to ...

I think this month is shaping up to be a busy one.  I have been intending to post but there is always something else getting my attention.

We are staying busy and having fun here at the Shoppe. I think Lint must have been having spring fever as she has ...

We have been getting boxes in here daily. I'm still trying to dig my way out from under them, but I'm making progress!

I have forgotten to tell you that we now are carrying zipper here in the Shoppe.

We have 30+ colors to choose from! We also ...

Yesterday was a good day on getting things done here at the Shoppe. In the morning I was finally able to get to the sewing machine and work on the Little Gatherings Jelly Roll project! More on that later, I hope.

In the afternoon I got help with the animal ...

We have been busy here receiving fabric boxes and notion boxes. Still have a bit to get out but we're working on it. We had been busy getting our newsletter and class schedule ready for publishing. We do now have them up on our website. We are asking everyone ...

Last night Joe and I were able to get to the Wayne County Museum to see the quilt exhibit. http://waynecountyhistoricalnc.org/ You can see the hours  of operation at this website. It is a very nice museum. I have been there for different exhibits in the past and am ...

And yes, we are having fun!

We had another midnight madness with a full house, literally! This week I had the opportunity to pick out more fabric for the Shoppe. We are also planning next quarter classes and have added another teacher who is full of ideas and energy.  We ...

We have gotten in Kate Spain's line Good Fortune for Moda.

I managed to get a top made using the Another Bite of Schnibbles book by Carrie Nelson. I used the small Round About pattern found in there which uses charms squares. The quilt went together quickly.  Stop by ...

I'm trying to keep up with it. Yesterday during the Civil War Sewing Circle Club they were cracking the whip at me to get out the newest line in the Shoppe Elizabethtown by Jo Morton for Andover. I got it inventoried, but never up on the shelf as they ...

that all your quilts' seams match and you get all your quilts made!

Happy New Year!

The counting is all over! Now to focus on other things. There has been a lot going on here even with all the counting going on to top it off I've been sick for about two weeks too.

We did get in the Blueberry Crumb Cake fabric a couple ...

Just real quick, we have up on the website our newsletter and class schedule for the first quarter of 2012! Can you believe it is almost next year already?

Still waiting on the Blueberry Crumbcake line. Moda has the pick slip but still waiting for them to send it. At ...

We just got in and out on the floor some Itsy Bits by Andover. These were suppose to come in long ago, well in July/Aug, but something unkind happened on the way to the quilt shoppe and the Andover warehouses got flooded. I really didn't expect these fabrics ...

Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy your time with family and friends. We look forward to spending our time with family and will be back to normal hours starting tomorrow!

We do have in some fabric that we hope to get out on the floor tomorrow. Still waiting on ...

I sure love to get things done. It makes me feel so good. I finished up the second block of Generals' Wives Block of the Month. This one is General Bragg's wife.

This one had more pieces that the first one. I now will be making setting block #1 ...

Since I didn't get the opportunity to get on here yesterday you will be getting a number things in this post, well I hope to get it all on here!

We have been having fun in our Prairie Women Sewing Circle gatherings. I have been running to keep up ...

We are excited to be getting in some gift items for this Christmas season. As you will see I'm sort of on a scissor kick.  I just can't help it as these are so cute.

We also have in a few of these 2012 Calendars from Laundry Basket ...

We just got in some neat new pens. Beverly found these. They are called Frixion and come in ballpoint and highlighter. You can mark your fabric and then steam off the marks once you no longer need them!

Start out with your unmarked fabric

Use pen

Try the highligher too ...

Did I say our first? Does that mean there will be more to come? Yes, first and if those who came to this first event have anything to say about it there will be more.

What happens when you put a few quilters together? Well there will be fun, fabric ...
