EVENING EDITION: Shaking things up at the Corn Wagon
You know how life sometimes throws you a curveball? Your day doesn't go quite as planned? Your energy is diverted in a different direction than expected? What do you do? You roll with it! And so today, we're arriving to your in box with an "evening edition": of the CW Newsletter -- and I must say, it's so good to see you here. Thank you for joining us. This week at the shop we've been busy moving things around, shaking things up, getting ready for new collections and project samples to arrive.It's refreshing! A new season means new styles, new inspiration and new opportunities... and we have lots to look forward to. Come see!
Have you visited our modern quilting loft lately? Oh, but you must! Especially if you're a Heather Ross fan! We have not one, but two fun projects featuring her iconic fabric. On the sofa you'll find the freshest gingham quilt made by Angie Pope using the new Country Mouse collection and quilted by Dorene Cole. Let's take a closer look...
Seriously sweet, Heather Ross delivers with her latest illustrated visions, always reminiscent of pages from your favorite childhood storybook. Our Country Mouse Gingham Kit includes instructions for this quick and easy, beginner-friendly, quilt as well as four fantastic Heather Ross prints for piecing this 55" x 65" quilt top and binding for $85.99 (sorry, fresh garden tomatoes not included -- though if you ask nicely, I might share).
Hanging above the sofa, you'll find another adorable throw quilt featuring Heather Ross' fabrics, this time from her Lucky Rabbit collection. Cymoni Whatcott used the Chain Reaction pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew to frame favorite prints from the line. We only have a few kits left for this 56" x 68" cutie! Grab one online (here) or in-store before they're gone. P.S. This collection is fast becoming hard to find!
And how about this gorgeous rainbow of color? In the Garden is a new, must have collection by Jennifer Moore of Monaluna for Windham Fabrics. We have big plans for this gorgeous line so stay tuned for a kits and an exciting new class!

We are currently wrapping up 2 fantastic block of the month programs here at the Corn Wagon and that means <drumroll, please> we have a limited number of complete kits available! If you felt bad you missed out on the BOM -- now's your chance!
RETRO WOOL FARMHOUSE Now a certified classic, designed by Fig Tree & Co,. the Retro Wool Farmhouse quilt is made from 13 wool applique blocks surrounded by traditionally pieced Irish Chain blocks. This complete kit includes the entire BOM pattern by Joanna Figueroa as well as Essex Linen background fabric, a scraptacular blend of strips for piecing the Irish Chain and, best of all, our own unique, hand-dyed, felted wool selection for applique! Threads are sold separately but you'll have everything else you need to complete this beautiful 63" x 63" quilt top.
AMISH WITH A TWIST V Our 2nd Wednesday Club has been working dilligently to finish all the stars in this striking beauty and they're nearly finished (round of applause, please). We have a handful of complete kits available now in-store and online! Nancy Rink's Amish-themed BOM returns with a fifth installment, marking the 10th Anniversary of the series! Using this complete kit, quilters will create twelve sampler-style blocks, each in a different CENTENNIAL SOLIDS color family (some created just for this program) by Marcus Fabrics. The blocks are framed in a midnight/navy background, and it's all brought together with a rich Boysenberry border for an authentic Amish touch. Our kit includes the pattern book and yardage for piecing the 98" x 98" quilt top and binding. Nancy also designed a great 108" wide backing for the collection (3 yards of 108" recommended by pattern -- not included in kit, but available in-store). Also, in a section entitled "Beyond the Quilt," Nancy includes details for enlarging to a King Quilt. BOM class not included with the complete kit.
