Summer greetings!

It's not quite summer by the calendar, but it feels like it! I love the green lawns and the flowers blooming!

Quilt Market was great! I brought back a lot of new patterns and ordered lots of fabrics for arrival later this summer. Be sure to stop by and see them.

Believe it or not, Christmas fabrics are arriving almost daily. There are lots of cute things out there this year - Gingerbread stockings, aprons, advent calendars and of course, panels! Be sure to check them out.

Dakota Collectibles have 6 more new designs: Lace themed Bookmarks with Appliqué (these are really cute and easy to do), Tulips, Aquarium Scenes, Cute Kits, Heirloom Styles 3 by Gunnold - all $49.95 and the new licensed design is The Wizard of Oz at $69.95. Those discounted are: Playful Snowman, Garden Beauty, Orchids, Heirloom and Cross stitch (both by Gunnold) - all $19.95 and Cat Fancier Association - Cats and Peter Rabbit - both $39.95.

Don't forget the Stars Over Indiana Shop Hop, July 10 - 18. (click here for more detail) There are 8 shops this year - The Quilt Shoppe in Anderson - (she has moved to a larger store!); Stitching Nook in Richmond; Zig-Zag Corner in Greenfield; The Back Door in Greenwood; Ruth's Legacy in Pendleton; Pohlar Fabrics in Liberty; River's Edge Fabric Company in Shelbyville and In Stitches. This year, you will purchase a 2009 collector's charm and receive your passport for $6.00. The fabric used in Maywood's Cottage Romance which is very light and summery.

Don't forget our annual 4th of July sale!

Hope to see you soon!

Happy Stitching!
