We can't wait to meet quilters 

from all over our great state the month of September!

Remember we are open 7 days a week for the month of September. Sunday hours are 12-4pm.

Here is our shop's Quilt:

Kits are available at the shop!

(I would like to say I waited hours for the light to be just right-

 so the sunbeam would hit the word "Texas" 

but, truthfully I just got lucky!)

Ten days to go!

Quilt-Across-Texas month long shop hop begins in 10 days!

it is going to be a fun month! We have The Guide Available at the shop complete with $5 coupon inside for use during the shop hop at a participating shop!

Even if you don't plan on doing the whole hop there are regional prizes and it makes a great list of shops across the state for your next road trip!

Hexie Crazy

At free sew on Friday night we had quite a showing of hexie fanatics!

First Tina had these fussy cut 3/4" hexies which were adorable!

Then:

Debbie had these 1/2" hexies made into stars- she was actually almost done with the project!

But then Tina, refusing to be outdone....

Tina pulled out this little piece done with 1/4" hexies many of which were fussy cut as well!

Can we say crazy ladies?????

This piece which was all of 7" at the WIDEST point 

has 170 hexagons in it!

All beautiful ladies! Quite an inspiration to me but I think I will stick with the 2" hexies for now! I hope some of these little beauties are going to be entered in the quilt show this spring!

Desert Sky paper piecing

Carolyn's Desert Sky paper piecing class is always a hit! Yesterday these ladies worked all day with beautiful results and a great start on their quilts! 

Kathy was there helping out too! I was pretty pleased to snap this shot as they both claim to not be photogenic!

 Here are the happy students:
