New Monthly Mini Program

I'm writing this post to explain the new way I have decided to offer the Patchabilities Monthly-Mini's. There is a set of 3 small projects for every season. When put together, the 3 pieces make a great scene, and fit perfectly on the tabletop wire hanger as pictured! You can use one hanger, and simply switch the project out every 3 months.

As a group of 3, the pattern kits are $39.99. This cost includes the patterns and all buttons. The buttons are fantastic, and they truly make the projects a stand-out! All of the pieces are so small any quilter can find pieces in your stash or scraps to use up, thus no fabric cost!

Sign up any time in January to start receiving 1/3 of a scene each month for 12 months. The monthly cost is $14.99 plus shipping, or request to pick your kit up by the 15th of each month in store! I will be shipping the first third of the Spring scene in January. This will allow you to complete each season in time to display it for the 3 corresponding months.

Hopefully this explains the monthly program more clearly, it is difficult to squeeze all of this information into the online catalog sometimes!

Geese on the Water-Pieced

Here is a picture of the finished quilt top we created to use the At Water's Edge border print. It is really beautiful in real, and can also be made using the green or the linen colored border. Kits are now available, and are $97.95 including the ruler/$83.95 if you already have the Flying Geese x4 ruler. The quilt size is appx. 77x95. Kit will include top, ruler, and binding. Not so bad for a twin/full sized quilt, and you get the ruler that you will use on other projects!

I hope to quilt this today, this afternoon. After that I will add it to the kits with a new, hopefully better, picture.

Meet Martha

This is Martha! We picked her up in Salt Lake City, much to the complaints of Monte and my dad. Martha is modeling the Kitchen Trios Apron, made using the new fabric line, Posh.

Isn't Martha stunning?

New Fabric, and What's Up With the Roxanne's Basting Glue?

If you're one of those people who love the Roxanne's Baste-It Glue, you may have noticed it's become a little hard to find lately. I've been waiting for a new supply since September! Finally, I found out the scoop, and I should have more glue in stock by the end of next week. Apparantly, the owner cancelled business with many of her distributors after having problems with them. I should have called her directly months ago, because I can order right from her, which is how I'm getting more glue next week.
After a week of waiting anxiously, the new Mementos fabric arrived yesterday. The quilt on my to-do list, Indian Peaks is designed to be made from this fabric, and is absolutly gorgeous! I suppose if I want it to be done anytime soon, I'll be passing it to a friend or my mom to piece, but I will look forward to quilting it.
Yesterday was one of those days when you have all the hopes of getting a lot of stuff done, and in reality you get nothing done! I met with a fabric rep in the morning, and ordered some fabric to come next month. It's a different look than I usually go for, so watch for it soon! I did get groceries, but it was all down hill from there. I planned an afternoon of quilting, but failed to note that the girls got out of school at 1:30, so my afternoon was otherwise occupied making snacks and breaking up fights. After the shop closes today, I'll be quilting my heart out, trying desparately to catch up! (unless that kickboxing, treadmill loving alter ego dares to show her face!)
