Oink a Doodle Moo!

Okay so this fabric even has a fun name and to hear our Moda rep (a fairly serious gentleman) say it when he showed it to us was priceless! But in all seriousness it is a cute fabric line: 
We have charms and layer cakes:
A six critter panel:
And coordinates as well:
 Cow spots and chicken wire:

cute, cute, cute!

New Patterns from Jaybird Quilts!

Check out this awesome sampler quilt with Triangular "blocks"! 
 As always her patterns often use precuts and clever Creative Grids rulers.
 Colorful fun and easy

Craftsy and Quilters Crossing read on...



Have you heard about Craftsy.com?
 It's a website that has all sorts of craft classes that you can take online.  It is really well thought out with question and answer forums, supply lists, pages of other students projects and samples and more!  Now you don't have to travel to get top notch instruction from world renowned quilters and other artisans! 
You can take classes in your pj's and fuzzy socks!
AND you can watch your lessons over and over once you have paid for the class. 
We recently connected the shop with craftsy!  
If you go to our website here and click on the little craftsy logo (like the one pictured above) on the bottom right of the shop home page--it takes you to craftsy.com! 
It will walk you through registering for a craftsy account and when you purchase a class you will receive a coupon emailed to you for $5 off at OUR SHOP from Craftsy.com! 
Deb and I have already enrolled in a couple of great machine quilting classes taught by Angela Walters. She had a free pattern to make with the class, downloadable pages to practice drawing quilting designs etc... 
Speaking of Angela Walters... she has her first fabric line out called Textures from Art Gallery fabrics that we just received in the shop:
Above is the panel, it is a modern design and made to give the quilters lots of fun places to practice quilting fillers. It goes really nicely with her classes on craftsy.com too!
Below are the coordinates to the panel: 
 Gray is a really hot color right now...
Dots are timeless.... Love the cool Jadite green polka dots above!
So be sure to try a class through the link on our website to get your coupon for our shop!
