New Block of the Month Sign-up

"Windham Fabrics latest collection by Nancy Gere™ was inspired by the new 'Women of Courage' Block of the Month designed by Denice Lipscomb. The Women of Courage fabric collection has luscious floral prints, beautiful tonal blenders and a breathtaking color palette of brown, tan, red, teal and green. The 12 month BOM is special because each block from the program corresponds to a brave and courageous woman in world history. Together, they create a spectacular Block of the Month. Enjoy learning a little bit about history as you sew with this gorgeous collection."

Now that all the work of relocating the shop is complete, I've been busy sewing blocks for the shop sample of this new Block of the Month which starts in June. If you haven't seen this quilt yet, be sure to check out the link below or better yet, stop by the shop to get a look at the fabrics! It's a gorgeous quilt, and when completed, is 98" by 98". I am already signing people up, so stop by and get your name on the list. This is a 12-month program and the cost is $24.95 per month. There is a $25.00 "commitment fee" which, if you complete the program, will be applied to your finishing kit. Each month, you will receive the fabrics, the pattern and a brief history of the courageous woman being honored. Women included are Sojourner Truth, Christa McAuliffe, Susan B. Anthony, Helen Keller, Sacagawea, and Mother Teresa. There are a several that I bet you haven't heard of before, too. It's not only a beautiful quilt, but it's very inspiring as well.  Hope to see you soon!

Things are coming together....

The big move was completed on Monday afternoon and I've spent the following days setting up in the new place.  I think it's looking good and I hope you do, too.  I know every bolt of fabric in the shop (better than ever after loading and hauling it!) but am still amazed at the amount.  Seeing it all spread out makes me wonder how in the world I had it all crammed in the other little space!

Cleaning in the back and working on the storage area is on the agenda for today.  Tomorrow is for loading up Quilter's Day Out items and setting up for Saturday.  Tri-State Quilter's Day Out will actually be a day of rest for me after the last week and I'm looking forward to it. 

Don't forget that re-opening day is Wednesday!  Come and see the "new" shop and let me know what you think.  Here are a couple of pictures to tempt you...
