QuiltCon Savannah

Who's headed to QuiltCon East next week? You've heard of it, yes?!

We always say QuiltCon is the most interesting quilt show of the year- not only for modern quilters, but for traditional sewers, as well. We love the "anything goes" attitude. You like handwork? Great! Machine sewing? Great! Garments? Quilts? Home decor? Children's toys? All great! Stitchers from all over the world converge to gush about sewing- AWESOME! It certainly doesn't hurt that it's being held in beautiful Savannah, Georgia with it's beautiful winter weather and historic sites.

We've been busily dyeing wool, designing new patterns, stitching samples, and packing as much as we can possibly fit. Can't wait to get there!

Oh, and stop by booth #108 & trade buttons or grab a limited edition t-shirt!

Hello 2017! What's new?

Wow! January is flying by. I have finally put away the Christmas tree and decorations. Does anyone else take their time doing this? It seems like I don't really get to enjoy things until AFTER the holidays are over, so I let the decorations linger a bit - much to David's amusement! He loves to tell people that I leave the tree up for months. Pffffht. Do not!
Whilst enjoying the coziness of the season, we have been working on lots of new patterns, samples, and our teaching schedule.

How cool are our customers????

Irma Sefers made an excellent variation of our Haunted Tail from the current issue of Primitive Quilts & Projects magazine!! She has added her own house number to the pattern and made a flat version rather than a stuffed cat. Very creative!! I was so pleased to see her finished project.

Did I just see a ghost??

Do you want to see ghosts, too? Ok, how about cute wooly ghosts and a black cat? That sounds better! This spooky kitty is in the autumn issue of Primitive Quilts & Projects magazine and we have kits available. If you subscribe or already have a copy, you'll need a materials-only kit for $28. If you need us to include a copy of the magazine, you're price will be $38. We'll even waive shipping! Time to get stitching!!

It's hot, so I'm already wishing for Autumn!

I always look forward to summer....gardening, travel, vacations, swimming, relaxed schedules. And then it gets hot. Texas hot. 97° to 100° every day starting mid-June and stretching into September and beyond. I regret my wishful desire for summer to "hurry up and get here already" and start looking forward to Fall.
How is summer in your neck of the woods? Go ahead, make me jealous!

While I'm currently longing for Autumn, folks in the magazine world have been planning for it a long time already. The Autumn issue of Primitive Quilts & Projects will soon hit retailers and we have a perfectly prim Hallowe'en project on those pages. Hopefully you subscribe (worth every penny, y'all) but if you don't, we'll have copies for sale around July 15th along with kits for our delightfully spooky kitty project. I believe images of each project featured are currently on the website www.primitivequiltsandprojects.com.

Let's try to keep cool, ok?
