Meet another friend at the Wagon and her cheerfully curated fabric bundle!





You've likely been greeted by her cheerful smile... and you've certainly seen her beautiful creations! Our friend Natalie Smith is an absolute ray of sunshine here at the Corn Wagon and I'm happy to introduce you today. While quilts made an impression early in her life, made by her mother and grandmother, Natalie had no desire at all to make her own. Her first love? Books. As a child, Natalie moved from a highly populated, inner city location in Omaha, Nebraska to what she refers to as the sticks, in a very rural part of Wyoming. So rural, in fact, that she attended a one room school house across the state border. Her friends were her books. She immersed herself in fairy tales and grew to love romance. To this day she LOVES a good love story and a degree in French and Russian sounds romantic indeed. But around the time her fourth child was a year old, Natalie realized she needed a new hobby just for her. Time spent as a mom meant little down time for reading and when she did pick up her book, well, she was soon asleep. She had made a few quilts by this time. In her family, if you had a baby, you made a quilt and she had even hand quilted a few! She had a sewing machine that was used mostly for mending -- not fun -- so she decided maybe it was time to make the most of it. She rounded up some friends and started a quilt block exchange! It was just the social and creative charge she needed. She says she was bit by the quilting bug and it gets worse and worse as the months and years go by. She has now been quilting for 11 years and guesses (with a wink and a smile) that she may be approaching that expert level of putting in 10,000 hours. Her love for the art shows. Her quilts always reflect her joyful personality and recipients of her quilted or hand-stitched gifts are lucky indeed.


This avid romance reader married a writer of sci-fi. Actually, a "computer guy" by day and author by night which is when Natalie sneaks in a little more sewing. It's a 20-year match made in heaven. With five children at home, Natalie stays busy organizing family life but we've been delighted to have her spend a some time each week smiling behind our register and teaching classes like the Shine On Sampler beginning in January.


The newest addition to our Curated by Corn Wagon Collection is as sunny and bright as it's creator. Natalie has an excellent tip for selecting your own fabrics! She loves to seek out inspiring photos and use them as a spring board for coordinating her quilts. Find an image that speaks to you and build your quilt story around the colors, proportions and overall feel of that picture. Her inspiration for this bundle came from a sweet little set-up by Just Add Sunshine. It speaks "volumes" on Natalie's personality and oh, how we love the fabric pull it inspired! Another great tip from Natalie, don't be afraid to throw in a little bit of black or navy to ground those bright, happy colors! You can pick up Natalie's Lucky 13 Fat Quarter Bundle at the quilt shop for $39.99 while supplies last and be sure to give Natalie a smile while you're there!


Speaking of inspiration from Just Add Sunshine, did you know we carry Katie Sabin's adorably happy stickers? We've been slapping them on everything! Drink mugs, laptops, sewing machines, you name it! We'll sticker it with a little ray of sunshine to brighten your day. So many to choose from! Come see what we have in stock at the quilt shop today and go follow @justaddsunshine on Instagram for creative inspiration in every color of the rainbow.

Saturday Sampler

Kit pick-up begins this Saturday, December 12th, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Due to continued concern regarding Covid-19, we have decided to move forward in the same fashion as last month. This will likely remain the case for the foreseeable future. Club members may pick up the third kit beginning Saturday, December 12th during our regular hours of 10am - 5pm in our classroom but we encourage you to come in during the following week (12/14-12/18) to help us keep individuals in the shop at a safe number.
On Saturday, December 12th you may enter our classroom through the East door (look for the School House sign) and exit through the North door to keep traffic flowing. Please adhere to the current mandate and wear a face mask. We ask for your patience as you may have to wait to enter the classroom or shop as we monitor the number of people to maintain safe occupancy.
The exclusive Saturday Sampler discount coupon (found in your kit) will be valid December 12 - 18, 2020 so you'll want to be sure and pick up this kit before Saturday, December 19th. Instead of gathering for a demo this month, we will again provide you with the following YouTube demos by Amy McClellan.
