My days are numbered

Only 4 more days to the start of Shop Hop. I hope you have your trip all planned and your credit cards ready!! I will have the quilt done by then - I only have to sew about 85 different buttons on it this weekend and finish the binding. It is a very fun quilt - it turned out much better than I had imagined. If for some sad reason you are not going to go on the hop - try to stop by the shop and see the quilt. I will have to take a picture and post it here. We will be serving a fun ice cream treat, giving away prizes and having a fun time.
We are so excited to have a wonderful trunk show in the shop for Shop Hop. A Utah designer, Cheryl Brown, has published her first book, "Fresh and Fabulous" which is exactly what her quilts are. She also loaned us a few other quilts from her collection that are absolutely wonderful. Her applique work is perfect! Cheryl will be here to greet and even autograph a book for you on Friday, June 19, during Shop Hop. Please stop by and meet this wonderful quilter.
We have been very busy finishing up the last of some new store models, putting out orders and mentally preparing each other for this event. I hope I havn't forgotten anything and I hope everyone will have a great time. I will try to post updates next week. Take care - Kaye
