More Bee In My Bonnet & Giveaway!

Vintage Dishes (above)has been our  top selling pattern the last few weeks. It is one of a whole collection of  patterns by Bee In My Bonnet designed to go with the fabric collection Sew Cherry. Lori just brought us 3 new additions to this group as well, one of which is the Cherry Blossom Table Runner shown below.

We decided to to do a giveaway! Post a comment on this blog post, and we will randomly draw a winner, who can pick whichever one of Lori’s new patterns she would like as a prize! Here is a list of all of them so you know what to choose from: Fenced Flowers, Cherry Cheesecake, Remember Grandma’s Apron, Sew Hexie Cushion, Cakewalk, One Yard Apron, Cherry Blossom Table Runner, Sew Cherry Table Topper, oh and Vintage Dishes. What is your favorite? I think I am most in love with the Cherry Cheesecake, but I am having a really hard time deciding!

P.S. Our Wednesday Free Demo tomorrow is a great one. We will be showing you how to make simple crib sheets. As I am finding out, while trying to finish up my baby shopping, these little sheets are really expensive, and it is hard to find the design that you want! You can easily make your own, out of the exact fabric that you want! Cone on , come all, it is free at 2:00 pm at the shop.

Animal Alphabet!

There is so much that is  new at our shop, I will be posting and posting over the next few weeks. Don’t Look Now, is an Australian company that designed this quilt above and was one of our very favorite Quilt Market finds. We brought an order of patterns back to the shop and sold out of many of them in one day. Thank goodness I tracked these ladies down at their hotel and am going to pick up a re-order before they head back down under! The above quilt is called Animal Alphabet and am head over heels for it! Isn’t it fabulous!?

Just In! New Bee In My Bonnet

Hot off the press! We have the entire line of Bee In My Bonnet’s new patterns. All of these patterns use the new Sew Cherry Collection of fabrics. They are stunning! I want to make every one of them immediately! It was hard to choose, but my 2 favorites are shown here. The quilt above is called cherry cheesecake. I adore the pieced circles with cherries in the center, it complements Lori’s new fabrics so wonderfully. My other fave is the quilt below called I remember Grandma’s Apron. Lori you have outdone yourself on these patterns and the fabric collection. Bravo!
