We showed these two cute wall hangings/table runners (you choose the way you use them) from the Snap Sack series that we're starting to carry. The great thing about these kits (besides the price!) is that they include everything: pattern, fabrics for the quilt AND backing and binding fabrics. Grab some thread and you are ready to go. They were quite a hit -- we were sold out of Liberty Bell by the end of the second session, more on order! (Snap Sacks are a product of Hummingbird Highway and are available only through independent quilt shops, so give us a call if you want one!)

Martha demonstrated a great binding tool that is a "must-have" tool for every quilter. It makes it easy to create a perfect seam where the two ends of the binding come together on a quilt. Two measurements, two cuts and you're on your way to a great finish. Easy to follow instructions are printed on the tool. Yes, we sold out of them by the end of the day, but we already have more on order, and we expect this will be a standard item in the shop from now on. Here's a picture, it doesn't look like much, but it works like magic!
We talked about the two new classes Martha's going to be teaching this summer, and already have a long list of interested students. You'll want to sign up for one or both:
 |
| Radiant Landscapes Saturday July 20th |
 |
| Round and Round Monday June 24th |
Seeing and touching the bead boxes generated a lot of enthusiasm for Linda's upcoming classes . . . the Monday sessions are full but there is still room in the Saturday classes to be held in August.
 |
| Choose from a BUNCH of colorways; Linda has complete kits put together, you just pick one up and start beading (in class, that is!) |
 |
| How cute are these . . . for easy storing and transfer of all your sewing related information, digitized files for an embroidery machine, photos or whatever strikes your fancy! |
