Yesterday we paid a visit to “Sew Much Fun” , a fantastic fabric store in Gastonia North Carolina.  If you are ever in the area you must go.  They have a huge selection of patterns, fantastic machines and notions, and miles and miles of beautiful quilting fabric. 

They had a display of Robert Kaufman’s Dr. Suess “Cat in the Hat Fabric”.  I love the panel print – it would make a quick, easy, and colorful baby quilt.

Am I the only one who salivates at the sight of ricrac and ruffled trim?

We found this great little deep-brown pom-pom trim, which coordinates perfectly with my next collection.  (News to come about that soon.)  The ricrac is from Mary Jos – a huge fabric warehouse less than a mile down the road.  Have a great weekend everyone!

The Ambrosia Bag pattern is finally available! 

I used the summer colorway, but included directions for the spring colorway (periwinkle, greens, and blues) as well.  Happy sewing!

So, you get your beautiful quilt back from the quilter and you need to finish the prairie point edges…

Spread the quilt out so that your batting fabric faces up. Trim your backing and batting fabric 1/2″ out from the seamline that attaches the prairie points to the quilt top. Then go back again and trim your BATTING ONLY right down to the seamline. Wrap your backing around the batting so that the fold meets the seamline. Press and pin. Slip stitch the backing to the back of the prairie point so the seamline is covered.

That’s all you have to do to add prairie points – a little something special for your quilt!
