Greetings from Denmark

As many of you know Anita is on a much-anticipated and long-overdue trip to Denmark.  Before she left, we gave her strict instructions to "send us some photos".

 
Here she is at Patchworkhuset (Patchwork House) in Glostrup.

It is hard to tell but is that a white wire tree with red hearts hanging from the branches in the shop window!  So pretty.

 
This is Speich Design in Lyngby. 

I see packages! Can't wait to hear about what she purchased.

 
This is Patchwork Butikken (Patchwork Boutique) in Køge.

The sidewalk scenes are so picturesque!

 

While Anita is away, the shop is still open during our regular business hours.

We have plenty of new fabrics so stop by and take a look.

 

Sewing Party! All Invited!

Join us at the shop this Friday, August 20, for an evening of sewing and fun!

Bring a current project or start a new one!

Some food and drinks available. Bring a snack to pass if you would like.

6:00 pm to ????

Hope to see you there!

 

Holiday Tree Skirt Class

The ladies in the French Braid Christmas Tree skirt class led by instructor Maria Parkhurst were kind enough to allow us to take some photos.  This is class number two of a three part class.  The great thing about this tree skirt is that it also works as a beautiful table topper.

As you are assembling the tree skirt, a key component to getting the wedge to be the right shape is to cut the freezer paper accurately.

 

Cindy wowwed the class with her cool tool she brought from work that measures angels.  You are never to old to have a collection of "cool tools".

Total concentration while pinning.

 
 
 

Look what happens when everyone adds a couple of sections!

Anita gave the class a sneak peak of an upcoming paper piecing class!

  

We are looking forward to seeing all of the finished Tree Skirts.  What a lovely project to show off all those great Christmas fabrics.

New Fabrics in the Shop

Brand new from Hoffman's Annabelle collection.  What gorgeous colors!

This fabric would be perfect for this butterfly themed quilt I just saw in the latest McCalls Quilting magazine. 

Magazine cover.  I know this magazine is still available on the newstands.
 

  Happy quilting!

Bells Are Ringing

Well, not really, but with all the new holiday fabrics that the UPS man has delivered to us lately they sure should be.

 
 
Quilts, table runners, wall hangings, table settings, ornaments, ideas for gift giving? Leave us a comment below and tell us what type of projects you would like to see offered this upcoming holiday season.

 

Here's Looking At You!

Quit literally.

Check out this new eyeball fabric we just got in.  It glows in the dark!  Really! 

We all took turns taking the bolt back to the bathroom so we could see it glow and all the eyeballs were glowing in the dark. What fun.

 

This stuff would make a great trick or treat bag or how about a glow-in-the-dark throwpillow for a kid's room!

Several other bolts of great Halloween fabric have just arrived if you are in the mood for some fall sewing.
