Come to the Beach - Long Beach July 24-25

We are heading off to Southern California and the beach in Long Beach. This is the second year of the west coast version of the Houston International Quilt Festival and should be even bigger and better than last year. The convention center is right on the water and you can see the Queen Mary from the show. Maybe you can treat yourselves and take a room on the famous ship now a unique hotel.

Our booth is the first one as you come down the escalators . Don't miss us in lucky booth number 1313-1317!

We have another batch of vintage needlework treasures. Maybe something will be perfect for you to take home to your own sewing studio and make your space unique and wonderful.

Visit www.Quilts.com to see all the classes and events planned.

New Christmas Freebie for you

It is now only 25 days to the BIG Christmas Day. Whip up a few tea towels or make ornaments with our December Freebie design .

Designing by Candle Light

Here is my new mode of designing – by candle light! A power outage for many hours in the middle of the night to late morning. I gathered some nice brass candle sticks and got to work…..I’m an early bird! When the sun began to rise over Clear Lake I was able to snap a picture. Not recommended for long sessions of thinking and drawing but OK at the time! Got a couple of ideas down on paper to finalize and get stitching for the arrival of our new fabrics….they are due to arrive in December some time – YAY. Oh, by the way….remember our RedWork SALE continues today and is over tomorrow. Visit the RedWork Category and pick your BBD Pattern and make your RedWork Challenge design. Enjoy some quality Embroidery time!
