SEW Ready for the 4th of July! Americana needle work honoring the land we love.
Quilt Memory #704 As a little girl, I was always a bit nervous around fireworks. Maybe it was the noise. Maybe the result of being the daughter of a fireman whom often had to leave July BBQs on fire calls. Maybe from the time a wayward firework zipped right between my uncles knees while he was carrying me... Don't get me wrong; I love a good firework display and nothing says summer celebration like some backyard sparklers but as a child, there was more anxiety than amusement when it came to pyrotechnics. I remember very clearly the first time I really enjoyed a firework show. We gathered in my grandmother's front yard to watch the dazzling display to be launched from the nearby baseball diamond. I wasn't too sure I wanted to be so close to all the action. Still being quite small, I remember someone picking me up and bundling me in a quilt. I doubt it was cold, but whoever it was knew me well enough to know I might take comfort in the soft folds of a familiar quilt. They draped it around my head like a hood, muffling the loud noise and for the first time I was mesmerized by the glittering glow of fireworks in the night sky. I remember very clearly the feeling of being held in someone's arms, wrapped in that quilt, so at ease that I drifted off to sleep beneath the bursting 4th of July fireworks.
Corn Wagon Quilt Co. will be closed July 4th in honor of Independence Day.
We hope you all have the chance to celebrate the land that we love! Maybe some lazy summer afternoon stitching is in order? We have plenty of projects featuring the red, white and blue. Chalk It Up for July is one of twelve fantastic Buttermilk Basin designs that looks great framed or quilted as a wall hanging. Our kits include the pattern, hand-dyed wools for applique and cottons for piecing the background and tiny half-square triangles for $34.99. You can even order it from our website by clicking here. And how about those three-dimensional wool stars and bird? Pick up the pattern by Norma Whaley and a wool starter bundle so you can make a set of your own! They make for a great Americana folk art display on a shelf or in a bowl or basket. Have fun embellishing each piece with crazy stitches, buttons or trims of your choice.
Another fun monthly collectible by Buttermilk Basin, The Hexi Door Greeter for July is a woolie ode to Old Glory. Fireworks, pinwheels and a hat fit for Uncle Sam decorate the simple word "Flag" all in gorgeous hand-dyed wool. Of course we have kits for this one too! $59.99 includes everything you need to make this festive banner except the threads!
Glory Bee! by Under the Garden Moon
Looking for a simple project to take on your weekend road trip? This delightful new pattern by local designer, Amy McClellan is perfect for some sweet and simple needlework. Wouldn't it "bee" lovely as the top of a sewing box or sewn into a bag? Of course it would make a darling framed gift or how about piecing it into a pillow? We have kits that include the pattern for $19.99!

Emily Herrick has a knack for catching the hottest quilt trends and this Betsy Ross quilt is a prime example! She spotted this fantastic flag quilt pattern by Katie Malan, pulled a scrap-tacular mix of red, white and blue fat quarters and had this worked up over a weekend! I'm not kidding when I say we sold out of kits before she even had it bound! So - - we made more - - and sold out again! It's just that cute! Here we are two weeks later with our third round of Betsy Ross kits and I'm sure they won't last long! This kit includes the pattern and all the fabrics necessary to piece the 52" x 60" lap quilt top and binding for $85.99.
We have more patriotic projects and fabrics than I have space to share so we hope you can come in and see all the Americana goodness we have in-store! The Quilt Shop and Quilter's Mercantile are currently open to walk-in customers and phone orders during our temporary hours Monday - Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. MDT. Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 4th of July!
