Just In! Sew Cherry

Yay! Our local favorite Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet has designed her first collection of fabrics. Of course we had to get them! They are so classic and sweet, we are in love! The collection is called Sew Cherry and I am still working like mad to get all of it out on the floor and on the website. Lori has a collection of adorable patterns that go with the fabrics that we will be getting in the next few weeks. She sent me some sneak peak pictures that I cannot show you yet, but I know you will go nuts for them. Love it!

It is a busy next few weeks around here, so stay tuned! There is lots to share!

Tomorrow is our weekly Wednesday Demo at 2:00 at the shop. It is free and super informative! We are going to take advantage of the good weather that is predicted for tomorrow and show you our fast and easy technique for basting a quilt for quilting. It is one of our top ten tips!! Don’t miss it!
