Everything Wonderful In Quilting & Knitting
After almost a year of not being available in the US,Classic Babies by Rowan has returned. This book has been by far the most popular baby knitting pattern book at Piper’s. The sales may be influenced a little by the fact that Jeanette made three of the sweaters out of the book. Now that we can get the book again, we are tempted to make even more!
Its that time of year again! I love Halloween, it is my very favorite holiday. Last year I tried to glitter my pumpkins just like I saw on Martha, but was really disappointed with the end result. Plus the glitter, was falling off the pumpkins and all over my porch, hence all over my dogs and all through out my house for weeks. I am sure Martha’s did not do that, I think I may have used the wrong glue. So this year, I wanted to try something a little different. I decided to spray paint the pumpkins, with paint that already had glitter in it. I love the result! I am so happy with my pumpkins that I had to show them off. I even added clear coat to ensure there would not be any glitter situation this year.
Another adorable apron to add to your collection! We used some Anna Griffin fabric to make our version of the Stella Apron by Grand Revival. The pattern includes a half apron variation as well as a few pocket choices for the full apron. My goal this year is to become semi-proficient in the kitchen. Like all of my endeavors, I feel as though if only I get my hands on the right tools, the excellence will follow. This apron is definitely one of the right tools!
With the apron pattern we recieved the two amazing bag patterns shown below, the Practical Bag and the Ava Bag . Thanks goodness it is Friday and I can get going on some of these projects over the weekend.
We are constantly playing the CD shown above in the shop, in fact I am listening to it right now. We are asked daily about it, who is it, where can I buy it. So here you go, so that you can pick it up for your collection. It is just perfect for late night sewing listening. The CD is called A New Standard and is by Steve Tyrell.
Here is a little video of his live performance on Jay Leno, so you can see how wonderful he is. Steve Tyrell on the Tonight Show
This book is a must have! It allows you to take your knit or crochet items to a whole new level, with absolutely beautiful embellishments! Think of all of the baby hat possibilities alone! There are great photos and easy to fllow instructions. Besides the endless array of flowers, there are also butterflies, ladybugs, cherries, leaves and much more! We at Piper’s highly reccomend that you add this book to your library.

These tiny shoes are bar none the most adorable things I have ever seen! We liked them so much, we decided to carry them at the shop. We also loved the fact that they are made by two stay at home moms, right here in Salt Lake! The tiny peep toe mules come in zebra and of course leopard and are available in sizes from newborn to 24 months. Come in and get some at the shop or give us a ring on our toll free number (877-484-5890) and we would be happy to ship you a pair. A must have tiny treasure for fall!
This Girly Girl fabric is so wonderful it needed a larger pic on the blog. I took a yard of it home and I am contemplating what to do next. This fabric makes me very happy! I would love to give away a yard of this fabric, and make someone else happy too. So comment on this post and I will choose a random winner, check back next Friday to see who it is.
Have a wonderful weekend! It is supposed to be 82 degrees here on Saturday, clear and sunny. You can’t get much better than that!
I am practically drooling on this fabric as I cut it into fat quarters. It is the latest from Art Gallery and is appropriately named “Girly Girl”. I think it is perfect for any young lady who loves pink!
