A cute new garland from Buttermilk Basin for Spring! "Grow and Bloom" Ornaments pattern is $9.00. The kit is $22.95. I put magnets on the back of the ornaments so I could hang them on this fun black metal garland. There are lots of other wool patterns for different seasons that fit on this metal garland.
I made this sample yesterday so you can get a sneak preview of this great new fabric from Moda. The fabric line is called "Song Book" and there are two sizes of panels with hymns that we grew up with. The fabric won't arrive until May/June but it is worth the wait!
I have 3 quilts in the very capable hands of Nikki Crisp getting machine quilted. When they are finished I will post pictures of them. One is done with an ocean themed panel, one is 12 embroidered blocks from Chickadee Hollow Designs made into blocks for a quilt, and one is from Natalie Bird with hand applique and embroidery. I am currently working on "Noah's Journey" by Crabapple Hill Studio. She has some awesome new patterns, including a vintage truck series and an adorable counting book for children.

I hope you are all staying healthy and safe. Maybe the end of this miserable pandemic is in sight? In the meantime, keep stitching and finding ways to stay inspired. The sun is out longer every day and the daffodils and primroses are doing their best to bloom!
I am hoping you are all using up your fabric stash so when you finally are out and about you can stop in at Folktales and refurbish your fabric bins! New spring fabrics are due to arrive any day now...next up are Moda's 3 Sisters line called "Sanctuary" and Brenda Riddle's "Sophie" line. And then there are the new Maywood lines, and today I ordered some lovely florals from Wilmington, oh, yes, and a cute gnome group! Oh such FUN!!! I will NEVER run out of things to do!
