Happy “LUCKY” Monday!
I am doing our normal “LUCKY” Friday post tonight, since I was a bit
under the weather last week! So… Monday it
is! Plus, we have a few NEW designs/kits
that many of you are waiting for so I wanted to let you know the website is
filled with NEW & RESTOCKED KITS!
Today I am giving away 12 kits of our NEW Fall Hexi Mat! over on our FB page! This mat is filled with a few of my FAV fall
things! I loved how the pumpkin & sunflower
played into the Hexi! It’s always fun
putting a creative spin on my designs!
The colors on the mat are perfect!
We coordinated it to go with the Sept Hexi Door Greeter & Fall
Project that was featured in American Patchwork & Quilting!
Also on the web now. is the next CHALK IT UP! October
Pattern & KIT! I thought I loved the
September one the most… but easily… this one is SPOOK-TAC-U-LAR! I love it!
It was funny how this one came about.
I knew I wanted it Halloween themed and started with the words “Trick or
Treat” and added the wool Halloween themed pieces at the bottom. Next thing I knew… I did it the wrong size!
LOL! {It happens to the best of
us!} SEW… I ended up adding a bat to the
top & a spider web between the words…and waa laaa…. It became the perfect
size! Looking back, I couldn’t imagine
it without the bat on the top now! So,
don’t let the little “oopsies” get you down!
Sometimes, it ends up working out better than you had planned!
If you are doing the Bringing Home the Tree BOM, the final
finishing kit is now available. The best
part, it includes the same fabrics we used on our quilt! This should tie your blocks together and once
you are done… our quilts should be “twinning”!!! Thanks for all of you who have been doing
this BOM! We still are offering it for
those who have recently joined in!
OK, I should jump in and share a little personal tidbit with
you! Many of you know I am a HUGE
Matchbox 20/Rob Thomas fan! My hubby
& I have been enjoying following them around for years and try to book our
vacation (and even teaching gigs) around their schedule! We have loved every concert and have enjoyed
some perks like front row seats, VIP packages {with no meet & greets ☹)
etc... However, this past Saturday, we were VIPS & had the opportunity to experience
a meet & greet, sound check and Q & A…. We also got to hang out with
them {briefly} before we took our pics with the band AND….. then … BEST PART
{besides hugs all around and actually meeting Rob & the band} … we were
fortunate to be on the side stage with them during the whole concert! It was SOOOO AWESOME! This opportunity almost didn’t happen! {I know, right!!!} Right before we were going on stage, they had
to evacuate over 13,000 people as it was an outdoor concert and a thunderstorm was
moving in! However, the show did go on, and
George and I had the time of our lives! I can’t believe we got to experience what
they experience every night on stage.
The energy, the music, the lights, the crowd & the moments they came
over and sang/played for us was indescribable.
I am so grateful for this opportunity and can’t believe how cool and
down to earth they were! I could totally
hang with them at any time! 😊
They are fricken AWESOME!!!!!! {Hope you
all don’t think I am crazy now!!! HAHAHA!}
Now that I shared my exciting news with you all… we can get
back to business!!! I know many of you
know about our Quilts-On-A-Stick Contest, however… some are just finding out {due
to advertising} and they wanted to still get their quilts entered, so I am
extending the deadline. {Or you run into
a customer when getting your labs done at the clinic- and she tells me that she
and her friend have theirs started, but need more time! LOL! True story!
{You should have seen us when we thought each looked familiar! I wasn’t expecting her to be in a white lab
coat! LOL! Plus, we live in the Twin
Cities! Small world!} However, just make sure it gets to us by next
Wednesday or you will miss entering, as the voting starts on Wednesday evening
at our Wine & Cheese Early Bird Shopping event! So, hurry!!!!
You still have time!
WOOLSTOCK IS NEAR!
SIGN UP SOOOOON! We are still
getting sign ups with the adding room.
SEW if you are thinking about coming… let us know ASAP! We have our menu’s planned, kits cut, treat
bags ready, and want to make sure you get accounted for! We are doing a CAMP theme… and everything is
turning out so darn cute! I am
finalizing the COOL TSHIRTS tonight and will be placing my order tomorrow for
them! We are still getting in a TON of
NEW goods in for it! We received our
shipment of our custom Buttermilk Basin project bags… LOVE! Since last week, we also received over 100
bolts of NEW fabrics, TONS of NEW WOOL, we have also designed MANY new FALL
projects etc.… We will be working right
up until the end to make this a GREAT EVENT &FUN SHOPPING EXPERINCE for you
ALLLLLL!!!!! At the very least… come
