Free pattern from Folktales

 "Key to My Heart"

 I have designed a free stitchery pattern to give to all my customers during the month of February.

I hope you get a chance to stop by and pick one up.  The fabric kit is $10.00.  The key is $2.50 and the Seasons floss is $1.75

Here is a new flannel line from Pearl Krush from "Pearl Louise Designs".  Wouldn't mind some new flannel jammies to keep me warm during this cold snap!

 And this "Charming Baby" flannel quilt from

 Whistlepig Creek Productions

 just makes me HAPPY!

I used minky for the pinwheel blocks.

And sewing the binding on was great 'cause I had a soft snuggly quilt on my lap to keep me warm!

The complete kit with the pattern is $50.00.  The pattern alone is $9.00.

Hope you are spending some time finishing up some projects while we wait for the ground to thaw. 

 Stay warm!

Spring will be here before we know it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 On February 8th from 10 am to 3 pm 

Cathy Mathes will be leading us in a 

workshop on wool.  

This is the pattern she has designed for the class participants to work on.

  Cost of the class is $20.00 and the kit is $12.00.  Lunch will be provided by Folktales. 

 There are still some spaces available but if you cannot attend on the 8th we are hoping to do another workshop in April.  You will need to bring floss, dark brown #8 perle cotton, scissors and embroidery needles with you to class. 

 These supplies are also available at Folktales.

 

The kits will vary slightly in the wools Cathy 

used but I think you will like them!

 I just can't quite let go of Christmas yet!  These towels are made from Bunny Hill's new pattern and fabrics.  The pre cuts are here. 

 Can't wait for the bolts to arrive!

 Riley Blake's Pennant Panels have arrived.  SOOO much fun!  This one says "Love You More".  The panels come in red/pink, red/white/blue, orange/black and red/white & green.  I used heat and bond for the letters, sewed the pennants onto extra wide rick rack and glued  a yo yo between each one.  I added a pom pom to the center of each yo yo.  So much fun to embellish!  Each panel is $8.50.

 "Happy Birthday", "Welcome Home", "It's a Girl/Boy", "BOO", "Merry Christmas"...the possibilities are ENDLESS!

 This is one of "Primitive Gatherings" recent patterns, "Tulip Gathering.  It is 26" round and includes the option of creating it with white tulips on a black background.

 And look what Mary King did with some "Wintergreen" Candies from Moda! 

AWESOME JOB, Mary!  Thanks for sharing!

 All of these patterns are included in Moda's "Oh So Sweet" candies booklet, along with 16 other candies patterns for just $10.00

Early Christmas Joy!

 Here is a basket of Christmas Joy!  It is a sneak peek of Bunny Hill's Christmas line for next year!  The rest of the fabrics won't be arriving until May, so hurry in to get a charm, candy, jelly or layer before they are gone.  Quantities are very limited. 

 But there will be LOTS more in May :)

 Close ups for your viewing pleasure!  And check out Bunny Hills patterns for this line on their website.  Lots of redwork options, and quilting, applique, even some tea towels.

  O what fun it is!

 Some fun and happy fabric from Art to Heart to go with Nancy's newest book

 "Table, Please"

 And here are the panels from Bunny Hill to go with the new fabric line.  I still haven't mastered getting the photos in the proper order on the blog.  Who new I would have to be computer savvy when I opened the store 18 years ago?

It is a snow day here in Lynden.  Be safe and stay off the roads if you can! Make a mug of hot chocolate and work on a quilt or wrap some presents, start a jigsaw puzzle, or do what I am doing... staring out the window in awe of God's amazing creation. What a perfect start to Christmas!  Thank you all for making this another year of fun and adventure at "Folktales".  It is such a privilege to be doing a job that I love with customers who have become friends!  I hope you all have a very Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.
