New Batiks

New lovelys came into the shop today! (Mary will be so sad she isn't here for first pick-she is a batik freak)
We received fat quarter bundles - 14 or 24 count - of Princess Mirah's Batiks from Bali Fabrics. I haven't done much sewing with batiks but I must say that the fabrics are truly beautiful. Stop buy and take a peek!
My grandchild is too cute for words!!!!
Have a great day, Kaye

Summer is so busy...

... but then so is Fall,Winter and then there is Spring! I am just not able to keep myself on any kind of schedule and at the rate I am going I will be too old to change. We survived the sidewalk sale - it was fun. Mary is on vacation until the first of August, Ruth is out of town for the week, Zephie is going on vacation next month - and I can't keep up with Isobel and Marie. I have to let them come and go as they please! Today, I have spent most of my time on the computer doing bookwork - which I do enjoy - but I don't do it on SCHEDULE - so I get behind and then it takes me days to get caught up. Like I said - I will never learn. But I do have a good excuse - it is a lot more fun to be working with the fabric, trying to come up with some new projects and keeping up with new stuff. Life keeps getting in my way! I was able to go the Bear Lake this past Saturday with my friend Krista. We stayed in her sisters home- we ate simply - didn't make a mess - and she made yo - yo's and I appliqued a cute turkey wall hanging. I find it relaxing to do hand applique. Then on Sunday morning, I finished a cross stitch project that I started the day after Christmas last year - yippy! I think I will still get the prize for "she that dies with the most unfinished project - wins".
The first part of August, the new Quilts & More magazine will be on the shelf's. I am excited to let everyone know that there will be a cute quilt, made by local quilter Brenda Hawkes, using her daughters fabric from Moda (the fabric is the Sultry line) and Red Rooster Quilts & Treasures is offering the kits. We will have it in both color ways. I will have some available to purchase here in the shop so I will spread the word when they are ready. I think that is pretty exciting.
It is time to go home - hope everyone is finding great ways to beat the summer heat! Later, Kaye
