What’s New at the Shop

Congratulations to the Tewksbury Piecemakers for another successful quilt show last weekend!  It was a wonderful display of talent.  Thank you to everyone who stopped by the shop on Saturday after visiting the quilt show.  It was great to meet so many new faces.
Table runner Fall The shop continues to grow as I have new fabrics and patterns arriving daily.  Recently, I added a great pattern for quilted placemats.  The outer border does double duty  as the finished edge.  No additional binding required!  They go together quickly and are great for holiday decorating.

Also in the shop are 3 seasonal patterns from The Wooden Bear, featuring a pumpkin, a Santa and a Snowman.  These mini-quilts measure only 12 inches square, and look great displayed on a small quilt stand.

I know a lot of people don't check this blog as I am very new to this way of communication. I am so very glad to have you here.

I am in the process of convincing my husband that I should move my business out of our home and into a brick and mortar. The costs and uncertainties are enough to scare my husband while I'm so very ready to expand and work my business in public.

If you do read this PLEASE VOTE for me at officialsponsor.com under the arts & crafts section. My name is Maryann R "passionate quilt teacher" . Thank you! It would help so much.
