We are Back

20 Jul 2010

We are back from vacation.   Our family visits Jackson Hole, Wyoming every year and I am always taken back from the beauty of the Grand Tetons. 

Moulton Barn (600x359)

Here is one of the most photographed barns in America.  This is Moulton Barn on Mormon row and with the Tetons as a background it is Amazing!

bison (600x400)

I could not help but take a picture of this big guy in Yellowstone Park.  Bison are just so enormous.  Look at the crazy man in the background, I am not sure I want anything wild that weighs a ton that close to me.  I was in the car with a telephoto lens and that guy was only 10 feet away from the bison.

bib (600x400)

We thought when we took a trip to Jackson that we would take a break from fabric. We had a nice surprise when we visited the annul art show downtown in Jackson Hole.  I love art shows.  I love to mill around from booth to booth. This is were we saw our fabrics for sale in finished products by Mountain aven baby. These gals have adorable handmade items. I bought this baby bib out of Summer Song and a skirt out of Rainy Days. I went back to buy a few more items but they had sold almost everything made out of Riley Blake the first day.  Kudos Mountain aven Baby 

But now back to work...wishing for a vacation after the vacation...however....Zippers arrived today!  The colors are the best, Fantastic! (Yes that was a nod to one of my favorite movie's Nacho Libre)

Nantucket Summer

07 Jul 2010

Nantucket Summer arrived yesterday. If you preordered this line you should have it.  I was visiting a local quilt store today and it did my heart good to see one of their customers with an arm full Nantucket Summer fabric. Here is our Free Quilt pattern for this line. To download the pattern navigate to our website's main page click on "Notions" then click on "Free quilt patterns". It is so beautiful made up, I will post a picture of the actual quilt soon....this is why I love this quilt.

My husband and I used to live on the east coast. We never made it to Nantucket, but one year for our anniversary we did stay a few days on Martha's Vineyard.  It was delightful.  A picture perfect place, so I can only imagine what Nantucket is like.  Walking along the narrow streets and seeing all the beautiful flowers at this quaint seaside village, we visited several of the shops along our way. A few of the shops had small Nantucket baskets for sale.  Like quilting, basket weaving is an art form and I could really appreciate the workmanship of these master basket weavers. A small hand held basket started at $1200, so this quilt pattern is our "ode" to Nantucket baskets and a Nantucket (Martha's vineyard!) summer.

Our Cutting Corners instructors are so clever!  Our latest tutorial is by JaiCi Razak and is a Halloween Countdown.  How cute is this!  JaiCi fussy cut our "Boo to You" characters and placed velcro on the back, allowing little ones to post one Halloween character per October day.  So watch for this tutorial on Cutting Corners College, I am working on posting it tomorrow.
