This is our new Northcott Fabrics Artisan Spirit Shimmer Collection. We will be getting about 9 new bolts every month from January through July.  This collection is subtle marbles with gold or silver metallics marbling.
Our first shipment arrived on Thursday, they all have the gold marbling in them.  Our sales rep tells us we are the only ones within about 50-100 mile radius (that he knows of) carrying this collection.  The fabrics we have received, as you can see, are beautiful.
Come in and see this new collection. We're sure you're going to like it!

We are now carrying some Homespun fabrics!  These are the ones we're starting off with. We have some more coming in July.  We will see how well it sells. If it's a hit, we'll order more & keep a nice selection in stock.  If it's a miss, we'll faze it out. We've had some moderate success with the fat quarter bundles. Helping us to decide to try selling by the yardage. I know we have at least one customer making a quilt out of homespun. The pieces she brought in looked beautiful together. It sounds like her quilt is going to be beautiful.  I hope she brings it in for us to see when it's done. (hint-hint)

Mom is back in the Shop about every other day or so.  We have a recliner installed in the back for her to put her ankle up & rest.  I think she really missed coming into the Shop.  The walls have been closing in on her at home. Finding as many excuses as possible to get my brother or I to take her out.

Mom is going to start doing some classes next month.  Private classes are once again available. She will schedule her days in the Shop with any classes you would like to take.
Some of the classes she's planning to teach in 2014 are Stack-N-Wack (a book will be included in this class), paper piecing, drafting your own block, & beginning quilting just to name a few.
If there is a particular class you would like to see done or one you would like to teach, let us know. 

We hope you enjoyed our 12 days of January sale last month. We enjoyed randomly picking out something to put on sale the night before.  We didn't even know what we were going to put on sale until about 6 or 7 the night before.  It was a tough decision some evenings.

Keep an eye out, who knows, we may get bored and decide to just throw something on sale & send out an email about it.

Here are some things for you to remember for February:
 1. Pick up your swatches for the FCP.
 2. Keep an eye out for mice in the Shop.
 3. Check out our new fabrics.  They usually come in every week or so.
 4. Root for the USA in the Winter Olympic Games
 5. Enjoy the Super Bowl & it's commericals

We hope to see you soon.

Stay Warm Quilters & Keep On Quilting.
