Clean Book Shelves

I was a busy girl yesterday I went through all the shelves and pulled off all the discontinued books. All these books have been put downstairs on sale for $10.00. There are some great books by C&T, TPP and AQS. Make sure you make a point of going downstairs and having a look through all the titles. You never know what treasures you may find.

Have a good weekend

Art to Heart Has Done It Again

Art to Heart's Nancy Halvorsen has done it again. She has come up with another great book with Christmas projects. In this book Nancy puts her own spin on the 12 Days of Christmas.
Some of the projects are a 12 days of christmas quilt, a pear and holly tablerunner and my personal favorite a days till santa countdown. If you love Christmas like I do you must see this book.

Shed Some Light On Your Quilting

We now have in stock Bendable Bright Lights by Dream World. The light attaches to the side of your sewing machine. It's flexible arm allows you to position how you like. It is small so it is out of your way when you are sewing. If you have more than one machine you can purchase an extra mounting bracket so you can move your light around. The lights retail for $49.95 and would make a great gift.

Until next time

Needle Felting Craze


Have you been bitten by the needlefelting bug? Clover has come out with molds for needle felting which can add a new dimension to your projects. You can apply them directly to your project or worked separately and added for a 3 dimensional effect. There are 8 to choose from and I think they will be a lot of fun to play with.
Until next time

New Velocity Irons

Are you in the market for a new iron? Have I got an iron for you. We are now carrying
Velocity - Compact Generator Irons by Reliable. When I first picked up this iron I thought it was way to heavy. After using it in the classroom nothing is further from the truth. It just glides across the fabric and the steam is incredible. I love it for piecing. We have one set up in the classroom. You are welcome to come in and give it a try. You won't be sorry.

Until next time,
Kelly
