2016

We are busting with new batiks (48) that just came in. This has given us the opportunity to kit many Blooming 9 Patch kits and you know how beautiful that quilt can be. Secondly, we have re-ceived more Christmas fabrics than we have ever had. You know they must be gorgeous for me to go so crazy. This is the

time to get those table runners (many new kits for this), tree skirts (and yes many new kits have been done) and holiday wall hanging or throw for the couch. I’m off to a birthday party for my oldest grandson. He turns 20 today, and I can remember having him here in the shop on a quilt in my office while his mother ran some errands. How the time has flown by! As I write this it is hot out. It seems that it has been hot out often this summer. The wonderful fall weather is only around the corner. Hope to see you all out and about. Take some time out for yourself. You deserve it.

Louise and her Terrific Staff
