Calico Garden: Checkout the NEW Lori Holt Sew Along and see what's new for spring!





This is a difficult time of year for me. Every spring my heart is torn between my two passions; quilting and gardening. Warm sunshine draws me outdoors to inhale the sweet blossoms and dream of the summer fruit to follow. Freshly turned earth holds the hope of plentiful produce. New life is budding all around... which in turn makes me think of the happy stack of new floral fabrics awaiting my needle and thread... and I'm stumped. Stay out and play in the dirt or go in and play in the fabric? Both sound like heaven to me. What's a green-thumbed quilter to do? Why not blend the two together? I'm not suggesting we haul the sewing machine out to the yard (although on the right day, that doesn't sound like a bad idea), I'm thinking my next quilt will take all it's inspiration from my garden. Once I get my seeds in the ground, I'll come indoors and cut into my always abundant stash. While I wait for my seeds to sprout, I'll sew some quilted blooms. Weeding is a bit like seam ripping; no one loves to do it, but it's inevitable and worth the work. So, after lots of weeding, seam-ripping and maybe a little cursing, I'll watch both my garden and quilt come together in a beautiful combination of colors and textures -- a feast for the senses.


Few fabrics take me into the garden the way Liberty of London florals do. All three of the quilts that will greet you as you walk into the shop are made using the new Painted Sunset collection by Liberty of London. A menagerie of delicate English florals in warm citrus and berry hues sing a song of spring. For the Giant Vintage Star quilt on the right, Julie Hancock paired Liberty of London florals with Tilda Dots and isn't the result delightful? It's one of our favorite go-to patterns by Jeni Baker for which you'll find a tutorial on her blog, In Color Order. When Julie finished this fast and easy quilt, she used the large leftover triangles to make nine hourglass blocks into the sweet little baby quilt you see on the sewing machine. Our kits for this Painted Sunset Star quilt include the pattern and fabrics for the 68" x 68" top and binding as well as instructions for the bonus quilt you can make from the scraps!


Taking a closer look at the quilt on the left, you'll see it's also made from the lovely Liberty of London florals, this time following the Brightly pattern by Cluck, Cluck Sew. This fat-quarter friendly pattern is perfect for creating that scrappy look and we love the way these dainty prints climb like flowering vines across the lattice layout. Kits for the Brightly quilt include fat quarters and background for piecing the 60" x 72" quilt top and binding. If you're loving all the edge-to-edge quilting on all three of these quilts, look no further than our own Dorene Johnson! Come in and see all the design possibilities!


Spring has sprung in our wool department! We have lots of new projects featuring bunnies, chicks and Easter eggs in the happiest hand-dyed wool hues. So many fun options for hand stitching this spring! Kathy Shinners has been having fun making wool applique ornaments by Under the Garden Moon to hang on her wool feather tree. We just received new spring patterns from Ewe-niversity for making gorgeous appliqued eggs. Zoom in and have a look-see at the darling new bunny pincushion by Amy McClellan that attaches to a vintage c-clamp, like those used on grandma's quilt frames. We have patterns and clamps in-store while supplies last!

Perfect for a trip to travel, hiking, biking, or daily use! Shelley Taylor will guide you step by step. Register now and join us at the Schoolhouse. The Sandhill Sling pattern by Noodlehead is available in-store along with a variety of cotton linens ideal for bag making.
