Friday Favorite Fabric on Sunday

It has been one of thise weeks where it feels like I am running and running and yet not much is getting done. I missed getting up a new and wonderful fabric on Friday ,but there are too many good ones around to skip it! I am dying over these new polka! I love the bold colors and of course the oversized polka dots(who doesn’t love polka dots?). They are yet another one of the fabulous fabrics that came from Lecien. So, I guess I am back to my busy work, no more fun with fabrics. Argh! Look for our new Holiday Class Schedule coming out tommorow.

Above is a preview for one of our new fall classes, it is called Felt Accessory Workshop. In this class you can make a variety of fab accessories from wool felt that is pre-cut for you and ready to roll. Kits will be available soon in the shop if you can’t make this class.

Washable Velvet Ric-Rack

Did you know we have washable velvet Rick-Rack!? It is absolutely adorable and a great add on to most projects, I just put a bunch on one of my latest quilts. Check back later from pics of that.

Junior League

One of the very best things I did last year was join the Jr League. I sort of forced myself to do it, because I was trying to broaden my horizons a try some things that normally were not my cup of tea. I thought the Jr League would be like Brussel Sprouts, although very good for you, you have to hold your nose and close your eyes to get through it. It was not like that at all! I have enjoyed every moment of being a part of it and best of all have met many amazing women, that I can now call my friends.
So I am recommending that you give it a try! There is an Open House coming up next Wednesday at our headquarters in downtown Salt Lake. The Junior League is a women’s group of trained volunteers who provide time and money to improve the lives of women and children in our community.

Latest & Greatest

Here is the latest and greatest of my niece Piper. She turned 10 months old yesterday! Time flies. This beautiful photo was taken by her dad at Alta.

I also have to give a shout out to one of my favorite little guys Flynn. He just turned 2 last week and is already thinking he is too cool for the rest of us. His mom Allison is one of my very best friends and has an amazing blog that you should check out. It is called Scarcity & Abundance and she has amazing ideas for living life with a lot less and ending up with a lot more.

We received boxes and boxes of new minky fabrics today and also some wonderful satin fabrics. The baby ideas are coming in and out of our brains so quickly, we need a breather. This is only a small representation of some of my favorites. Jeanette was so excited she stayed up all night making baby hats and scarves from the giraffe print.

Happy Holidays !

I hope you all have a very happy holiday! I am off to San Francisco and will see you next week ! Remember our Winter Open House is January 2nd & 3rd, we hope to see you there!
