Shoppe Talk





Winter just has to be coming to an end soon! I recently put away all of my winter quilts that I use for decoration and the little snowmen figurines. They seemed so cute when I put them out, but it got to the point that I just couldn’t bear to look at them any longer. Yep, I have spring fever. I blame it on our new fabric line that came in called Spring Fever. The colors are beautiful. The line includes pinks, lavenders, turquoise, peach and on and on. It has lots of bright flowers too. We also have jelly rolls and charm packs from the new Sandy Gervais line called, Frolic. We’re anxiously waiting for the coordinating bolts to arrive.

I’ve been working on a quilt called Cabin Under the Stars from the new book, Star Savvy Laps from Fats. I am doing it in burgundy, navy and cream. I love those country colors! Marianne has finished a beautiful pastel yellow floral quilt. It just makes you smile and think of sunshine and flowers in bloom. Jean has been playing with the X-Block and has come up with a stunning wall hanging using some of our more contemporary fabrics. She is always thinking outside of the box and keeps us on our toes.

I’m still working on depleting my stash at home, but darn it, I always seem to need a little more fabric or a new tool to complete the project. Imagine how tempting it is to work in this shop each week. I’m glad I didn’t try to give up quilting for Lent!

Hang in there….spring has to be just around the corner. Stop in and see all of the wonderful new spring projects that we’ve been finishing. I’m going outside and start looking for robins! I’m the eternal optimist!

I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
