Spring Break = Spring Sewing! New quilts to welcome the sunshine.
Spring Break! Woo-hoo! I've spent the past couple of days prepping for our family's spring break getaway. Laundry, shopping, packing... Nah! I'm talking about prepping my road trip sewing projects! I've cut and glued a couple of wool blocks together ready for some applique and even have a quilt ready to finish with some hand binding. I'm looking forward to some "pieceful" handwork just as much as I'm looking forward to basking in the warm desert sun in the southern Utah wilderness. I often get more done in the car on these long drives than I do at home and there's nothing more calming to my mind than stitching next to the campfire in the evening. I know I'm not the only one who sees spring break as a chance to sew! We've enjoyed seeing lots of spring breakers making their way into the shop this week. So many fresh projects in the making! Here's to finishing out spring break with spring sewing! ...and if you don't get to finish up projects like you had hoped, join us at our Sew-It-All Weekend next week, April 12-13! The quilting fun never ends around here!
The Rosa collection by Crystal Manning of Moda had my heart the moment it came through our door but Stacey Giles really made it into something stunning using the Basket of Blooms pattern found in the BLOCK publication by Missouri Star Quilt Co. Striking color combinations bloom while birds soar over head. It's a tranquil spring garden in a quilt. Machine quilting by Emily Herrick. Kits and yardage available here at the shop!
Utah Shop Hop 2019...
Where all your seams come true.

Remember a week or two ago, I introduced you to a fun new fabric brand, Poppy Cotton? Chris Chamberlain wasted no time piecing this country flavored quilt using the Prairie Sisters collection from Poppy Cotton. She selected a pattern by Deb Strain titled Bee Inspired and featured the prettiest little seed packets in the center of each block. She has plans for her own matching set of curtains in her kitchen but before she wisks this quilt away, stop in and see it in person, grab a kit and see just how fabulous this whole new fabric line is.
Quilter's Corn-er April is here and we have an exciting Motif-of-the-Month to announce. CUSTOM! You heard me right! Through the month of April, any custom machine quilting design is 20% off the regular price of quilting service! Because our long-arm quilting machines are hand guided, Ramona and Emily can quilt custom designs into individual blocks and borders and boy are they talented! Custom quilting can be modern or traditional. You might want to echo applique, mimic a vintage design or use a motif in your fabric as inspiration. It's time to think about finishing graduation quilts! Custom quilting a photo or t-shirt quilt allows for enhancing those focal points. Ramona recently quilted this incredible quilt made by Julie Hancock using custom motifs addressing each block for a classic look. Bring your quilt top in and talk with one of our quilter's for design ideas that will finish your quilt perfectly!
