Folktales is OPEN! Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 5. HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

Here are some fun new things I have been working on.  I started with the "Summer Swag" Quilt pattern and when I was finished with the quilt I used some of the leftover blocks 
to create the small projects.
Most of the fabrics are from Primitive Gathering's "Stars and Stripes Gathering" fabric line from Moda,
 but some are from other designers, as well.
This is the finished quilt.  The pattern is $10.00, the kit is $169.95.  I included enough backing for the quilt and all the smaller projects as well.
This is a new fabric line from Betsy Chutchian called "Nancy's Needle"  They are $12.00 a yard and are also available in pre cuts.
This is a new line of homespun flannels from Marcus, and an embroidery panel for the center of the quilt 
designed by Quilt Doodle Designs.
A new line of outdoor themed fabric from Clothworks.  I am hoping to get the quilt done from "One Sister" called 
"The Mountains are Calling".  The project list never gets shorter!
This is a sweet quilt I designed for a "Bunnies by the Bay" panel.  My precious 2 year old granddaughter has a lovey bunny called "Hop Hop" and she never leaves home without her lovey and a tutu on, so I am giving her this quilt when she moves to her big girl bed.  I am working on writing up the instructions so I can have kits available.

Here is a new Halloween line from April  Rosenthal 
for Moda called "Midnight Magic".
Midnight Magic pre cuts...
...and the project I hope to make with the jelly rolls.
Oops!  Got it sideways. sigh... 
I made a flannel rag quilt for my brother's 60th birthday.  They live in La Conner and their house is decorated with a beach theme.  I think this will work well.  The kit is $139.95.
Last, but not least, Kathy Schmitz has a new pattern and fabric line out called "Snowbound".  She stitched and appliqued these little snowmen onto black flannel for a wall hanging, but I decided to stitch them onto black wool and make ornaments.  It has been so much fun!  I have many more to finish.  It reminds me of paper dolls.  You can get 50+ from one charm pack of her fabric line.

The pattern is $10.00.

More fabric lines have arrived, Sheltering Tree by Birdbrain Designs, Studio e's Home for the Holidays and Harvest Moon, just to name a few.  I will try to keep you updated with pictures and project ideas.

For now, I am postponing my 25th Anniversary Celebration.  Maybe August?  I just want to keep a close eye on what is happening with Covid 19.  Always better safe than sorry.  My health, as well as yours, is very important!  So take good care, wash your hands, wear your mask and stitch on!
