New samples finished...

Here are a few of my favorite new things!
"Farm Fresh" is a new quilt from Yesterday's Charm.
There are three stitchery patterns-and they are IRON ON!!!  
Each pattern has three farm animal blocks.
Each pattern is $8.00.
The fabric kit is $75.00 and includes instructions 
for how to piece the quilt.  I wrote up the pattern for the quilt and 
am delighted with how it turned out. 
 I used Valdani 3 strand floss O775 for all the stitching.



 Nikki Crisp did the quilting.  I think she did a superb job!











 This is from the new book "Celebrate the Seasons"by Bonnie Sullivan.



 The flannel and wool kit is $125.00.  The backing is included.
Nikki also did a great job of quilting on this one!
 A couple of new samples, just for fun!  Feels like summer!


 Hope you get a chance to stop in 
and see these new samples!

Fun new goodies...


 A new line from Holly Taylor...


 and a new book from Doug Leko called "Winterlude" using all of these beautiful fabrics!


 These are from Bird Brain Designs-"Halloweenie".  This is the fabric group I plan to use for the piecing of Crabapple Hill's "Mystery of the Salem Witches".  There are more close up photos farther down.  I have FINALLY finished all the embroidery for the witch panels.  Can't wait to start working on the piecing!  Crabapple has a line of fabric coming in July based on the Salem Witches and I hope to use some of those fabrics along with the "Halloweenie" fabrics to complete my quilt.

Crabapple Hill has also created a line of fabric inspired by her Gingerbread house embroideries.
 This is a fun new country line of fabric.
"Forest Frost" is from Moda.  Hard to capture with the camera but it has a beautiful glimmer to it.
 DRUM ROLL PLEASE...Here is my   Shop Hop Block for 2017!
 More pics of the Halloweenie fabric line...
