    Our Basket Is Full

    Our Basket is Full We have been crafting up a storm and now our baskets are full and ready to go for this weekend. Pom-Pom’s, Felting, Flower Frills, Kanzashi’s and more, when you’re using Clover crafting tools the possibilities are endless! Our little friend was made using Clover’s Pom Pom makers, shaping and piecing the pom pom together allows you to create all kinds of furry friends. The Single Needle Felting tool allowed us to detail the felted eggs. The 3-D designs and embellishments were easily created with the “pinpoint”…

    International Quilt Market

    HOUSTON, TEXAS Isn’t this a beautiful convention center?  We are fortunate to have such a lovely place to celebrate Quilting and the amazingly talented and creative folks that design and make the comfort givers we know as QUILTS! Living in the Northwest I have to get up with the sun to make my flight “inland” as we call anywhere but the coast.   Fall has come to the Northwest and it was a pleasure to head out to warm and sunny Houston. Setting up 6 booths is hard work so the…

    On The Road … Again!

    Ooooh wee! I just returned from San Antonio, Texas, and the Bernina University event for Bernina Sewing Machine product dealers. Being from the great Northwest where cool temps prevail I have only read about the Texas summers. At this point I’m thinking reading about them is much better than experiencing them! Our event center was only a few blocks from the site of the Alamo and the famed River Walk so off we went one evening to see the sights … WALKING! I now know I will never again be…

    New Products Revealed!

    It’s been a busy few weeks! After spending a few days at Nancy’s Notions Sewing Weekend in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, I was home two days before heading to Salt Lake City for the International Spring Quilt Market. As always, though, it was worth the trip … or trips! What a treat it was to leave the cold soggy Northwest and head to sunny and warm Beaver Dam for the weekend.  It’s always a blessing to spend time there with the customers who flock to this high-energy weekend of learning and…
