The Final Days

We're counting down the last days of our retail shop and have made the final markdowns. Starting Saturday, October 4 save 60% off regular retail on all remaining books, patterns, notions, magazines and fabric (minimum 1/2 yard cut). You can also save 40% on kits and 25% on batting.

The final days are bittersweet as many longtime customers are stopping in to say goodbye. We've had a wonderful time over the past eleven years and have made many friends. We thank you for that and hope that something develops in the future that would allow us to continue those friendships.

With the closing of the shop I've had some time to go through my bins of UFO's and have found a few that I hadn't even remembered. I think this particular project was from a magazine, but I have no idea which one. After piecing all those little triangles you would think I would remember it, but it was a serendipitous surprise! It only needed a little more quilting and binding to be finished. Now it's done and hanging in my family room. I've had great fun going through all this stuff. It's been a little walk down memory lane and reliving the history of the shop. I'll continue posting these finds as I finish them. For some reason this isn't a great picture. The colors look much brighter and more orange than they really are. Also, there isn't as much contrast in the background fabrics as it looks in the picture. Overall, I'm happy with the results and I think this is a perfect wallhanging for fall.
