ArtWalk and Studio Tour!

I can't believe the Artist Studio Tour is already here! I've been running around trying to get everything ready. Everyone that stops by for the tour will be able to see my design wall with all the different things I'm working on. Why as quilters do we have to be working on so many projects simultaneously? There's always half a quilt here, a few appliquéd blocks there, and lots of scraps and tiny swatches of fabric everywhere! Oh, so much is always going on.

Has 6 weeks gone by already? I wasn't even here for the last ArtWalk, poor Martin and Hannah had to take care of the store for me! So this will be the first ArtWalk of 2011 that I'm attending. It looks like it will be a beautiful night, so I hope there is a great turnout. See you there!

All Wrapped Up

I love scarves. They are a perfect accessory, especially if you're not fond of wearing lots of jewelry. Just wrap it, knot it, or drape it around your neck and you've completed your outfit. Since it's not that cold down here off the Gulf Coast (well, other than the last couple of weeks) we usually don't get to wear scarves. But I just received a shipment straight from London. A box full of scarves ranging from light to medium weights.

This linen scarf can be worn year round, so delicate and pretty.

Slightly heavier wool scarf with embroidery.

Who doesn't love stripes and polka dots?

These are great for a splash of color. One of a kind scarves made out of Indian sari fabric. And I also can't get over that beautiful striped wool scarf.

Projects Around the Shop

We're still getting ready for the Grand Opening on August 28th. Here are some projects we've been working on.
