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.

wooden bear miniquilts
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.

In bloom by timeless treasures
Just this week I received this luscious line of fabrics from Timeless Treasures, called “In Bloom”.  I know this one will be strong seller, and I already have several kits available to make the pattern shown.

A lot of my customers have asked about classes.  The following classes are currently being offered at the shop, and more are in the planning stages.
