Feeling the Blues - - but in a Good Way!





As new quilt samples arrived at the shop this week, they all had one thing in common; THE BLUES - - and I don't mean of the sad variety. On the contrary! These are some of the happiest quilts I've seen! The blues have been a strong theme in the quilting world for a few seasons now and we don't anticipate chasing these blues away. They range from deep shades of indigo to light tints of sky. Periwinkle and cobalt are making waves and is there anything more classic than a good navy? Navy is currently the go-to accent, giving a refined edge to traditional and modern designs alike. In fact, for nurseries navy is number one for both girls and boys. Speaking of classic blues, how about some chambray!? It's everywhere! Oh, we're feeling the blues in the best way! If you happen to be feeling the blues in a down-in-the-dumps sorta way, may we suggest a sewing retreat at Corn Wagon Too? Take advantage of our introductory rates through the end of the year and get together with your best quilting friends. Nothing lifts the spirits like a sewing day! Take a closer look at three new quilts currently on display all featuring THE BLUES.


The first is Flower Tiles by Then Came June. Emily Magleby pieced this playful 64" x 80" quilt using the Penelope fabric collection by Annabel Wrigley of Hawthorne Supply Co. It's a perfect fit featuring sunny florals and plaids (look at that adorable binding!). Custom machine quilting by Emily Herrick lends a soft accent to these oversized geometric blooms.


Next is a modern take on a traditional log cabin block. Janelle Gunderson had fun pulling together a mix of Cotton + Steel fabrics including bold Rifle Paper Co. florals. Using a denim blue Peppered Cotton as her background fabric gives a fresh, classic feel. Emily Herrick's angular quilting defines the log cabin blocks while a custom grid design carries the squares across the field of blue fabric. (Remember! Geometric quilting is our motif-of-the-month! An angular design like this is 20% off the cost of quilting service through the end of August!) This 60" x 72" quilt pattern can be found in the Quilt Big book by Jemima Flendt, available here at the shop along with kits. Take note of Janelle's fantastic choice for backing; a medallion themed Cuddle fabric by Shannon Fabrics. SEW good!

And finally, let's take a closer look at this traditional navy and cream beauty pieced by Suzanne Adams. Wowzers! Look at that tiny little shoe fly block! Suzanne swears they are fun to make! This 55" x 66" stunner is called Fly Over and can be found in the Star and Stripe Gatherings book by Lisa Bongean. Kits and books are currently available at the shop. Custom machine quilting by Ramona Sorensen is lovely as always!
