Christmas in July - kind of

Well, really "Fall in July" except maybe a Christmas present too.

This is the latest issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine 

which just happens to feature

a "Trio of Treats"

3 punchneedle homespun mini rugs.

They can be made with a regular rug hook or you can use this Amy Oxford Punchneedle  which is what I used.  Instead of using yarn or wool I used homespuns.

This week we have a special on the bundle of all 3 - a $100.00 value for only $85.00.

Oh and ladies, Tori's on vacation so I'm doing everything myself and its been a very long time since I used some of the business programs.  Orders are shipping but sloooowwly.  We ask your patience.

It's almost August and I will tell you that August in Missouri makes me yearn for a hard freeze.  :)

Christmas in July kit sale #1

Our Snow Day quilt kit is on Sale for

And since it's made out of my Crossroads fabric line (by Moda of course)

we're sending along a Crossroads Rollup with your kit order if you put the words 

"Rollup" in the comments section.

A Rollup is approximately 20 strips of fabric from 1 1/2" to 5 " x WOF.  Each one will be slightly different but all will be fabric from the Crossroads fabric line.

Happy 4th of July

Here's my "Flags of the American Revolution" quilt that Jake hung in the foyer yesterday.

The Kansas City Star Book is awesome.  In my original Girl Gang pattern I wrote a small paragraph on the history of each of the individual flags in the quilt.  For the Star book Edie McGinnis did massive amounts of research and wrote a full page of very interesting history on each flag.  Thanks to her its a history book as well as a quilt book.

There are also 8 additional quilt and rug projects.

Here's Dobby helping us pin the quilt to the board we hang it on.

And here's our latest Table Stand Quilt - "Wings of Freedom".  

Luckily Dobby and Spike can't find a way to lay on it :)

The tutorial should be uploading soon.

Have a Happy and Safe 4th.
