Huh?

A friend emailed me this and I thought it was interesting! A designer by my same name designed this table runner for Fons and Porter. Read it for yourself...

Yeah!!!!! On Sunday Elisha and I cooked for a Pampered Chef party and the host got about $250 worth of FREE products along with some thing half price and some 60% off. It has been a successful weekend. Can't wait until next week :)

0 to Quilt in...

A good friend came in the shop today needing a baby girl quilt for tomorrow. It just so happened that I had not tried my new Brother Quilting machine yet. It is a Nouvella 1500 s. I have already renamed it to Sister Nova. That machine can sew! I love it. So we picked ten fabrics and cut 40 2 1/2 inch strips. We then sewed them end to end to create a very long strip. We cut off 18 inches off the first then starting sewing the strips together on the long side. I think we folded and sewed five times. In about 1 1/2 hour we had the top completed. It took about another hour and half to quilt it with swirlies and hearts. I have never done a binding with kinky, but it might be my new thing. It made this baby quilt really really cute.

New Patterns from Kati Cupcake!

Just love this pattern that showed up at my store this week. Kati Cupcake is a really cute designer. I also like the way the patterns are written. This one pattern has all sizes in one. You can sew both skirts from one pattern. I just haven't picked out the fabric that I will use yet. But give me a few days and I will be able to find the perfect piece.
