New Block of the Month Blocks, New Patterns, Kits, Wool & Fabric!

Hello! Hope you gals are ready for some awesome projects that would be great to sit & stitch out on your deck, patio or porch!  These new ones keep getting cuter & cuter!  First off… our weekly Summer Block of the Week is a MUST for anyone who has wall space or a sewing room!  This week we are starting the 2nd row which will spell out the work “SEW”!  This row will feature vintage sewing items!  This weeks block has an adorable wooden scissor holder that our mothers or grandmothers had back in the day!  It is CUTE! 

Next up, we are embracing AUTUMN, in all it’s glory with our 2 {YES! 2 Block of the Months!} that just started.  Both second blocks are released this week in our Autumn Harvest BOM & our Buttermilk Basin’s Pumpkin Farm!  These just both happen to be pumpkin scarecrows!  Even though they are the same… they are completely different & perfect for autumn!!!!  You can buy them singly or sign up any time for autoship!

We all know it is camping or “GLAMPING” season, so we had to get our “June” camper dolled up for “real” camping, canoeing & fishing!  It is rich in color and captures a warm summer’s evening, complete with fresh fish ready for a fish fry!

Our Welcome “HOME” July Center Circle is ready!  We know many of you love getting ahead, so we wanted to get this one ready so you can change it out on your wall hanging, table runner or pillow!  We want to make sure your décor is ready for guests coming to celebrate this “sparkly” holiday!

On to the WOOL & FABRIC!  We got a bunch of NEW wool in and made new bundles!  It has been slim picking on new wool these days, but we are doing the best we can to keep coming up with some great bundles!  We also have a few new fat quarter fabric bundles that are new too!  It’s always fun to add a few fat quarters to your stash!  Don’t forget that our Spirit of America & Buttermilk Basin’s Pumpkin Farm fabric is always in stock.  Since they are BB designs, I will be keeping them on hand.  Just wait until you see all our new FALL designs!  We designed a lot of the projects around the BB Pumpkin Farm line, so be sure to snatch some of them up so you are ready to roll once the projects come out! Much more on the website!

On the home front, I had a couple of angels watching out for me yesterday as I was able to avoid what could have been a bad accident while driving to the shop.  I was driving on 35W, and out of the blue a car who was in hot pursuit from the police came up from the ditch (instead of going on the exit ramp & merging) and was inches away from hitting me.  Then he did a U-turn into oncoming traffic, flipped his car and rolled into the ditch.  Three police men were chasing him.  I am very thankful and always tell my girls, its not your driving I worry about… it is the other people’s driving!  So scary!!!  Then Hannah was supposed to get her wisdom teeth pulled out yesterday and didn’t end up doing it because they would not put her under.  So, we will have to see what other options are available.  You would think they would tell you these things ahead of time!!!  I think they are being cautious, as there have been 2 deaths of teens who were under while getting their teeth pulled.  It is better to safe all around!  Grace started summer dance this week.  She is so sore from dance but enjoying seeing all her friends again!  Hannah is rocking it at the shop and enjoying it!  We love having her here!  GW is happy that he has internet and TV now at the new house!  We have not had it until this afternoon!  Funny!  I remember growing up with 2 channels and one was CKY from Canada & WDAZ from North Dakota!!  We had antennas that I swear did nothing! LOL!  And yes, did watch tv on the black & white tvs!  I LOVED watching Lawrence Welk & Heehaw with Great Grandma Lily up the hill!  Good times!!!!

I hope you all get a little inspired by all our NEW & FUN offerings, take some time out to do some porch sitting & have a great weekend!  I will be having our nephew, his wife and little boy over for supper tomorrow and hitting the strawberry patch on Sunday!  My SIL Kelly & I will be making freezer strawberry jam & freezing some for smoothies etc!  I am SOOO excited!  Of course, I need to keep moving goods & cleaning the other house!  Never a dull moment!!!!    All my best… Stacy 

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!  Today at the shop we're busy unloading all the things from Market!  There's furniture to get back in its places, samples to save, and orders to process!  It's our busiest time of year and we're SEW excited about what is to come!!

Have a great day!

FREE Mystery BOM REvEAL, FREE Sew-A-Long, NEW Patterns, kits & wool!

Hello!  I hope you all are staying warm on these chilly winter days!  

Since it has been sooo cold... we have been staying warm & busy inside!  

We can't wait to share our new BOM's, patterns & wool with you!  Let's check them out!

First off... We here is the "reveal" of our Buttermilk Homestead 2018, "MYSTERY" Block of the Month!  This one will be completely different & oh, so fun!  It also will feature my new fabric, wool & yarn dyes!  So be ready each month, as we have many gorgeous blocks ahead!  

So what did I put on the website yesterday????  All "good stuff"!  Here's some of it... the NEW 2018 Buttermilk Homestead "MYSTERY" BOM, new wool bundles and the coolest "Welcome" HOME pattern & kits!  This is so "out of the box" & stunning!  Again, I LOVE playing on my "words"!!!  Each month I will be designing a new center circle for the letter "O", which is actually a scalloped penny mat!  I have came up with 3 versions of this, so we can cater this "must have" design to all of you!  Once you make your base design {either a woolen runner, wall hanging or scalloped mat} all you need to go is purchase our monthly circle pattern/kit to make & change out each month!  The circle features a monthly themed design.  Minimal work... but stunning results in a jiffy!  Hop over to the our site & check it out!!!

We also added thread kits for the bom & "Welcome" HOME bases.  These threads are highly suggested since they really make the project!  We have hanger options for the "Welcome" HOME wall hanging that are coming in next week that we will be adding to the website.  Also, if there is anything you ever need... just give us a jingle at the shop!  We'll do our best to assist you!

Have you started our "Spirit of America" Sew-A-Long?  If not, join us!  Block 2 is up!  I'm dying to see your progress pics... so share away!!!

On the shop front...

Lol!  So FUN talking to you all when you called in! 

As always, if you have questions, please feel free to call the shop at 763-792-0638 or email us any time!!!  Have a great week!  Stacy

Day 3 & 4 on our "12 Days of Christmas" and.. Henry Glass Fabrics Blog Hop

 

 Welcome to Day's 3 & 4 on our "12 Days of Christmas" Online Event!  Did you have a chance to stop over on the website and see all the new goods?  We sold out of a few of our items and were able to quickly restock them today!!!  Also, if you stopped by, you might have seen the most adorable picture of my shop manager, Jodi! Here it is,along with her recipe, too!  It is fantastic!  It is the perfect appetizer for the upcoming Holiday parties!

 Jodi has been with me the longest... She lives 1/2 hour up North and started out having the patterns in her basement.  She would ship a couple of times a week.  That was before the internet existed!  Each day I would have to go to the printer, drop off/pick up and then drive things down to her husband's car daily with my little girls!  I can't believe how much work it was back then... not to mention that Jodi worked for peanuts!!!  Even though there were a couple moments here and there that she did not work with me, she was never far away and recently moved up to be the Manager of BB!  I promised her I would take care of her once I could!  I am sooo thankful she has stuck by my side!  I don't know what I would do without her! 

Not only does Jodi manage {giving me room to breath now!!!}, but she also answers most of your calls and emails.  She also takes care of all the autoship programs, felts wool and is not afraid to step in & help out with whatever needs to be done!  She keeps things afloat for us all!

Today we have a little addition to the event, my fabric company, Henry Glass Fabrics and a few of us designers have came together to bring you a blog hop hosting a "progressive dinner"!  Today is my day on the hop!  I am sharing a "side dish recipe"!  You can also see my new line of fabric, wool & yarn dyes!  Just click the link below and head over and enjoy!
