Fun Sewing Facts

Did you Know?
Brand new to the store, we have Applique Magic pins! These pins come in a little container, and are heat resistant for ironing right on them! Stop by and get yourself a set of these cute cheery yellow pins! The tips are GREAT for hands that have some difficulty gripping the traditional round tip pins, because these ones are ridged and have a greater grip surface area.

If you are in the Masterpiece BOM
these are the wide backs we have available for your BOM. They are 118" wide, so you will need about 3.5 yards of which ever you choose. Because this BOM finishes as a 108" square, traditional 108" wide back fabrics will not be wide enough to back this. If you want to piece your back, you will need 10 yards of 44" wide yardage. This fabric is first come first serve, so let us know which you would like.

Our newest sample maker, Anita, worked really hard on this sample! It's her very first quilt, and isn't it just GORGEOUS?
If you're a fan of teals you have to come and take a look at the sample in person. As always, pictures do not do the fabric justice.
Still in stock:

We have some of the panels(and the matching zipper packs) to make these super cute bags! 1 panel makes EIGHT bags, four large and four small, and the material is a very nice canvas so you don't have to worry about interfacing, ripping or tearing. Make up a couple bags(its SUPER fast!), and throw your notions in for your next sewing class. You could even add straps to make a really cute and sturdy purse!
