Any way you make it – you’re sure to love it and so will your little ones!! Come in and check out our selection of fun spring patterns and fabrics.
Strips To Go Quilt Kits are the answer!
We have a wonderful variety of kits for that baby shower on Saturday. The kits include precut strips for the top, backing fabric and binding fabric. Just sew the strips, trim the edges, quilt and bind. You will be done in just a couple of hours. Come and check out our selection.
The sun is shining… is spring just around the corner? This selection of Alexander Henry “In the Kitchen” collection is perfect for your springtime sewing!! These prints celebrate the era when the kitchen had curtains, mom wore homemade aprons and everything was made from scratch and filled with love…. enjoy. Jessica made the skirt for Lily using the Modkid “Nina” pattern available now.
Isn’t this a beautiful quilt? Gabe, Gina’s youngest son, pieced this and Kathy Drew quilted it. The pattern is “Hip To Be Square” and he used batiks. Way to go Gabe!!
Kathy is teaching all her favorite sewing techniques…
shadow tucks, french lace attachment, puffing, hem stitching, pin stitching and shadow applique. Lots of learning going on!! We will offer this class again!

If we were making a embroidered dress like this it was all done by hand & took months to complete?
 
This dress is actually a quick and easy project! It is done using an embroidery collection by Custom Keepsakes. The embroidery machine actually sews out the collar, yoke, sleeves, etc. with the outline of where you are going to cut and then all you have to do is put it together! Soooo Easy! We used DMC 50 wt. thread to get the softer finish with the antique look. It doesn’t have the shine on it that is normally desired with machine embroidery. The designs are exquisite. The bottom of the dress uses a design that is continuously connected around the skirt. And from a girl who used to have to wear these dresses…. they are finished with the seams all enclosed so NO Scratchy seams! WooooHooo! This is the dress that Lily will be wearing this Easter. We used organza for the top layer and a lavender pima batiste underlay for the shadow look.
Bernina offers many feet to make your sewing and quilting projects EASIER!! Our new FEETURE display will teach you about the features and benefits of many different Bernina Feet. Currently we are displaying Foot #38, the bi-level base of this foot is ideal for sewing situations where one side of the presser foot must ride over mulitple thicknesses and the other side over a single layer. Come and check out the samples; flat-felled seams, inserting mini piping into seam, sewing on hook and loop tape, and applying braid and trims to fabrics.
Diane has finished this adorable quilt… the kits are ready to go. Her tips and tricks include using Steam-a-seam 2 as a “pattern”, finger pressing the Steam-a-seam to the applique, cutting it out,  NOT ironing it down and removing it (to use again) and using Roxanne’s Glue Baste it to temporarily put it on the background (GREAT IDEA Diane!!)  She used her Bernina Foot #20, the open embroidery foot, to stitch down the designs and her walking foot to machine quilt her project. Diane used Minkee for the back of the quilt and prefers to do minimal machine quilting on Minkee! This is a fun project.
Vintage Bunny Baby Panel Quilt
Â
How adorable is this vintage “cheater” quilt??? We have 2 styles, the “Bunny Baby” as shown and “Puppy Love”. These are great for baby quilts, wall-hangings and table toppers.

You will easily finish this project before Easter!!

Reeta’s daughter Molly is having her first baby boy in April, and she just made this out of our new fabric by Michael Miller! She used the “Professional Tote” pattern that is designed for a laptop, but makes the perfect diaper bag.
This is one of Gina’s latest projects! These are just a few of her completed blocks from the pattern Twister by a local artist, Jodi Savage. This is a fun, easy quilt, sewn on a foundation and squared up at the end which makes it great a quilter of any level. Gina is making her quilt with a lot of fun & colorful fabrics by Kaffe Fassett.
