Hi All!
Happy June! This is a great
month! We have so many things happening in the store to get
excited about!
 There's
still a little time to sign up for tomorrow's
(Saturday June 3rd)
PHOTO PLAY CLASS with Janet Bates.
Cost is $35
and starts at 10 a.m., ending about 3 p.m.
Call the store at 316-284-2547 and we'll get
you registered and give you the supply list.
This is also the month that lots
of new patterns and books start arriving. Quilt Market was the
end of May, and designers often introduce their latest and greatest.
 This month we're using one of
Lori Smith's BRAND NEW
Fat Quarter Quilting patterns - SIMPLY CHARMING with Thimbleberries fabrics in
my Other Quilt Club.
I have made the little 4-patch quilt and it turned out great! (See below
for link to close-up picture).
I did have to use one of JO MORTON's plaids for the setting triangles,
but Jo's fabrics blend great with the Thimbleberries!
See this SIMPLY CHARMING new pattern here:

Most of Lori's patterns can be
seen here in the SMALL QUILTS & TABLE RUNNERS pattern department:

Find JO MORTON'S fabrics in the
ANDOVER FABRIC department in the web store:

Be sure to at least peak into our
WHAT'S NEW
department:

Brett
(seen here doing the monumental job of re-arranging the batik shelves
so that the fabrics are in
numerical order) has been very busy scanning, editing
and uploading all the BASIC HAND-DYED fabrics from HOFFMAN.
These are primarily style numbers 1895 and A100. We try to keep
a good stock on hand at all times. As always, you can order yardage or fat
quarters.

Have you ever used the web
store's DESIGN
BOARD feature? Notice the link ADD TO DESIGN BOARD that
is just below the name of every item in the store.
The DESIGN BOARD is a great tool
for "playing" with the fabrics you might be considering for
a project, just like you might do on our cutting table here in the
store. Or use it to keep a visual reminder of what you want to add to
your shopping cart (which can always be saved as a "WISH
LIST" if you want to come back to it later. The DESIGN
BOARD has a wonderful feature for easily adding any of
the items on your design board to the shopping cart. Give it a
try with some of our BATIKS.

If you are getting this
newsletter in HTML, this is an example of what the 1st step of the
design board looks like with 4 batiks on it. When you click on
any of the thumbnails, they are enlarged and placed on the screen and
can be moved around, so you can change their relationships to each
other. Pretty slick. If you have ELECTRIC QUILT (& if
you don't, we'll be happy to sell it to you) or one of the other quilt
design programs, you can even import these images into your fabric
library and use them in quilt designs.
DESIGN
BOARD EXAMPLE:
 Happy
June, but are you starting to think CHRISTMAS yet? :)
If you worked on last year's
CLASSIC SANTAS and 6" PIECED blocks blocks-a-month series, check out our
FINISHING KIT.
If you missed our program last
year, we do have a few complete kits, including all the pieced and appliqué
patterns and fabrics in one package.
Just finishing up? There is an option to order just the border
kit and pattern.
See them all here:

Speaking of Christmas, we have
another wonderful CHRISTMAS QUILT kit available now.
 I
BELIEVE, designed by Pat Sloan, includes all sorts of whimsical
holiday images to be appliquéd on a scrappy pieced
background.
To simplify your life and save
you time, we've pulled together all the SCRAPS you will need and even
include a color guide for placement of each fabric in the
quilt!
See it here and be sure to look at the close-up image showing the
variety of fabrics and quilting!

Last weekend we were in Eureka
Springs Arkansas and had a great time with friends and family.
Highlight - kayaking! Randy and I are now in the market for our
own "double" kayak! (You can tell the weather has been
great here, so far!)
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
