Here is a picture of my adorable great nieces in my bug on Mother's Day.  Can't get any cuter!  Couldn't resist adding this photo to the blog.  If I ever have Grandchildren of my own I will lose ALL focus!

 Now for shop news... This is the finished new stocking advent calendar.  

Getting ready for Christmas!  

 This is a close up.  Looks very Nordic!  The panel is $11.00.  I backed and lined the stockings with a fabric from Lecien's Scandinavian Christmas Line by Lynette Anderson.

 Here is the latest fabric from Moda, 

 "Mill Book Series"  I love the deep rich colors.

 Finished some new book panels.  The panels are $11.00.  This one has directions for 

how to build a snowman

 And this one has the story of the Christmas Nativity, told by the animals.

 This is a new pattern from Patchabilities, "Campfire Goodies".  The pattern is $9.00.  The marshmallow buttons are $3.75.  The fabric and pattern kit with the buttons is $19.95.  The hanger is sold separately for $9.50.  This is a great one for all of us

 Pacific Northwesterners who love spending time in the great outdoors!

 This is a new pattern from Buttermilk Basin.                The pattern is $9.00

 "Starry Rag Quilt" is a quick and easy version of an all time favorite Rag Quilt.  I made this for my nephew for his wedding gift  (hope he likes it!).  The pattern is $9.00.  The complete kit is $120.00, which makes the same pattern on the back, 

without the ragged seams.

 And this is the finished "Linen and Lace" quilt.  The pattern is $8.50.  The complete kit including the pattern and fabrics for the front and backing is $155.00.  This is a larger version - the actual pattern and kit are for an 80" X 80" quilt. I opted to add an extra row to fit a queen size bed.

 This is a fun and FAST pattern for a table runner using a 60 degree triangle runner.  The pattern is $10.00.  The fabric kit for both runners, including binding and backing, is $38.50. 

 What a great gift!  One for me and one for someone else!

 And I FINALLY got the pattern and finished this quilt for my son's girlfriend.  It is called Urban Vibe and was another quick and fun pattern by Patrick Lose.

 The fabrics are here for "Bertie's Spring".  The fabric kit is $45.00.  It is a 4 part pattern and each of the patterns are $8.00.  Do them all, 

or pick your favorite!  Choose your prefered background...light gray or black houndstooth flannel.

 
That is it for now.  I have begun working on some of the 20th Anniversary projects for July...and cutting and folding for Shop Hop in June.  It is a lot more fun to work on new samples and projects,

 but it must be done!  

And once it begins it is SO MUCH FUN! 

      ...so mark your calendars for June 24 to 28. 
 And make sure to check the blog for Folktales' 20th anniversary events the entire month of July!!!
