WOOL APPLIQUE CLASS

I had forgotten how much fun teaching wool appliqué is.   Thought you might like to see some photos from our Saturday and Sunday classes at Bolt Fabric and Home in Cloverdale.

You can tell they are fun ladies.

Lindy won Saturday's free Wickedy Jig
Pattern

Sharon stitches away!

Like the red-headed angel

Cathy got right busy

 Bolt Cloverdale not only has lots of fun fabrics but also a great collection of home goods.

Kate was a very welcoming and accommodating host.

Will look forward to returning to this great shop.

Cloverdale has become a wonderful little town too.  Just off 101 north of Santa Rosa.

Be there - you'll love it!

WICKEDY JIG PATTERN WINNER

Our new Wickedy Jig Pattern winner plus the packet of chenille needles was randomly chosen . . . Since i'm a bit scared of that little Witch Queen (don't be fooled by the sweet face) .  I feared i had better pick TWO winners.
So the two random winners are . . .

KAM - Kristen Freeman

and

Linda of Barneynme

Please read all of the comments as they are very entertaining.   I loved every one of them . . discovered even MORE reasons to love Halloween and Fall!   I sincerely thank you all for joining the fun.   Woolbert and i are working on another little contest either here or on Facebook . . 

or why not both.

A little note on my Saltbox Angel Class at Bolt in Cloverdale.  It filled up and has a waiting list so we have decided to add a second class the next day, August 14 .  next Sunday.  There are a few spaces left.   All of the information is on Bolt Fabric and Home's website > Classes page.

I hope that you are all finding some time to stitch and be happy.

Thanks again for spending some time here,

Reets

NOTHING BETTER . . THAN STITCHIN' TOGETHER

Betty, a long-time wool lover whose Quilting Bee, some years ago, overflowed with the most wonderful primitive goods, patterns and wools, now gathers together many hands who love to stitch.  What fun they have . . and often.  They have Spargonian, Maggie B, Prairie Women, and Girl Gang Days.  And I am so very flattered . . recently they have added a Reets Day.  Imagine that!  Below are photos of their first Reets meet and the beautiful stitching they have done.  Together!  Wish they lived in my neighborhood . . don't you?  If you want to get better acquainted with this expressive group and see what they are up to, visit Betty's Blog.

QUILT MARKET BOOTH

Diamond Textiles, who manufactures the yarn-dyed woven cottons we carry and use in many designs, displayed our Baskets Runner model in their booth at Quilt Market this spring.

Diamond sent me this picture but didn't identify that beautiful quilt and wall hanging.  Love both of those don't you?   Woven cottons . . what is not to love.

Well Janet is the winner of our

Baskets Runner & Placemats pattern.

Congratulations Janet!  Can't wait to see your version.

THE APRON AND THE ARTIST

NW Expo - Portland

There were raffle winners each day.  One of those days an artist named Lulu dashed into my booth waving her winning ticket.

Lulu.  A Winner - in every way.

  I could tell she was an artist by the way she dressed . . and besides . . I'm lucky to know her a bit . . and her artwork.  And her blog Lulu Moon.  She won her choice of three free patterns in my booth.  One of her picks was our Sassy Little Apron pattern . . that did not surprise me.

She didn't waste any time.  Just last week my friend Janet of Art Journey sent me the these pictures taken at their weekly Art Group Gathering.

 You would have to agree that

Every sassy little artist

needs their own hand made apron.

Love that she wore it to Art Group . . 

and i hope that there is a dash or two of paint on it by now don't you?

CHICKEN COOP QUIZ WINNER!

Baaaah . . I have missed you all.  Reets is so slow with those new patterns and free drawings.   I might have to take back that wool quilt I gave her.    Our random drawing resulted in this lucky stitcher - 

RORI . . Congratulations Rori

Please email me with your mailing address and the new

Three Little Woolies ornament pattern will be on its way.

Reets promises to get it up on the website as soon as she returns from Portland.

I hope that  everyone read all of the comments.  I read and appreciated . . and chuckled at . . every one.  You are a humorous bunch!

Thanks once again for joining us.  Get those needles and pins clicking.
