June 18 #2

 

Today is Day #2 of the Western Washington Quilt Shop Hop and it has been a blast!  If you get the chance, go out and support your local quilt shops and check out the amazing creativity right in your own local quilt shop!  Some of the blocks absolutely blow my mind at how creative the designers are!  For more information google:  Western Washington Quilt Shop Hop to see the finished quilt and locate the stores participating.  It is going to be sunny and beautiful, so what better excuse do you need than this to go out for a lovely drive!  And maybe a lunch date!

All kinds of gorgeous fabrics have been arriving in the shop!  This new line is called "Daisy Days" and the quilt kit makes a 68" x 80" quilt. The kit costs $175.00 and that includes the backing!  Two sold today, so I have 3 left. Don't wait too long!

This is one of the most recently finished projects at Folktales.  A bit more modern than I usually do, but I couldn't resist!  Lot's of corals and teals in the new fabric lines.  So fresh!  This pattern is called "ClimbingVine" and finishes at 68" x 84".

  The kit, with backing, is $175.00

This is another new line Called "Seascapes" I have a pattern on order called "Beauty of the Sea".  As soon as it arrives I will get the kits made!  Maybe you have  your own inspired ideas for using this beautiful fabric!

These are the "Daisy Days"fabrics. 

 They are $12.50 per yard.  

Unfortunately, the middle one on this

 photo is already SOLD OUT

but there are still many to choose from!

And this week Christmas fabric has been arriving fast and furious!  I just don't have any room to put them out, yet!  We are busy making kits and cutting fat quarters of all the fun new fabrics and I will post again once Shop Hop is over. 

 I am also planning a 29th Anniversary celebration in July so keep your eyes open for more information about that on my blog or in your email box!

Thanks for keeping me in business for 29 years!  It has been an amazing adventure and I can't wait to get started on another year full of friends and laughter and sharing our life's stories as we make beautiful things together!

A few new items to get you inspired!

This sweet farm quilt is so much fun to put together!

The fabric "Happy Day Farm"  is designed by Dan Dipaollo for Clothworks and the pattern is from Ladeebug Designs

The kit with coordinating backing is $115.00

If you prefer to choose your own backing, the kit is $85.00  

I quilted this one myself.

I am almost finished with a coordinating table runner, I just have to get the binding on and finish making the kits.

This $13.00 pre-printed panel from Bareroots is almost done!  Just have to finish up the hand quilting, trim it up and put the binding on!  The fabric kit with backing is $54.95.  

The DMC flosses are not included.

This week the UPS man really was like Santa Claus, bringing me an entire line of new Christmas fabrics! And these great patterns to go with the fabric line!

 I also got another quilt from Nikki Crisp that she quilted for me.  It is called "Climbing Vine"  As soon as I get the binding 

on that one I will post a picture.

She has 4 more quilts of mine that she is hoping to get done for me before Shop Hop.  Yes, it is almost here!  It starts on June 19th this year.  The brochures and passports are here anytime you have a chance to come by and pick one up.

I am also making progress on some of those slow stitching projects that I love.  The one I have been working on this past year is from "Hatched and Patched".  It is called "Around Town" and includes lots of hexies and 16 small embroidery blocks.  I was stuck on what fabric to put around the embroideries but I found some from Diamond Textiles and it came today and is absolutely perfect!

I don't know if I will EVER get tired of new projects and new fabrics.  The shop will be 29 years old in June and I think I get just as excited now as I did back then!  

Next year we are going to have quite the celebration!

So a great big THANK YOU to all of you who have supported my shop over the years, making it possible for me to keep doing what I love and sharing the adventure with all of you!

My husband and I are heading to Europe on Monday to see our precious grandson, (and his parents C; ).  There are lovely ladies that are willing to run the shop while I go play.

Hope to see you when I get back...and maybe I will make some progress on some of my stitcheries while I am on the planes, trains and automobiles.  Or maybe I will just read a good book and play with William C:

I am having WAY TOO MUCH FUN with Bareroots pre-printed panel!

As soon as they arrived on a grey drizzly day I just knew my soul needed to play with all the happy colors!

I can't decide what to do with them when I am finished with the stitching...the wallhanging?  Pillows?

These are two new samples from Art to Heart.  The books come with the main wall hanging and so many other projects!  Bev Moore pieced and quilted these samples.  Thanks, Bev, for letting me display them!  And GREAT JOB!

There is a booklet for each month filled with goodies!  And the price of each booklet is only $12.00

This is another new sample, quilted by Nikki Crisp.  I love the retro cowboys!  Just  a little sorry there are no cowgirls on the panel!  The cost of the kit, with coordinating backing, is $118.75

 Hope the weather warms up for all of us!  We have had some glorious days...and then the clouds return.  But the daffodils and primroses are blooming, and soon the tulips will be popping!  Enjoy all the sunshine that you can, and if you are looking for a project to work on in the meantime...Folktales is bursting at the seams with all kinds of fun new things!
