Super Star!

One of our newest lines on the shelves is Super Star from Riley Blake:

This line is a new spin on a classic Riley Blake look.  I love these color combinations!

Let me show you how great these fabrics look "in action!"  I used the Super Star fabrics with one of our free patterns.  This is the "Robot Strip Quilt" pattern we have available in the shop (free with fabric purchase.)

The finished quilt measures 42" x 60"

Here is the Strip Quilt in the gray/blue/orange combination:

...and (my son's favorite) the gray/blue/tan combination:

I think this is the perfect pattern for these fabrics.  It is an easy pattern and whips up quickly.  What I love about it is that you spend just a few minutes cutting and you're already sewing!  

Come in to the shop and ask at the desk for the pattern.  Grab one of the star prints as your main print and add your five favorite coordinates.  Add a stripe for the binding and you'll have a great quilt for your favorite kiddo.  Which color combination is your favorite??

It's Coming!

Mark your calendars and get ready for a treasure hunt as we take a trip around the world!  The next Beehive Shop Hop will be October 17-20

We look forward to seeing you all over those fabulous four days and we have some fun things planned!

Maywood Woolies

Have you heard of the Woolies Flannels by Maywood?  They are gorgeous!

These fabrics look like wool, feel like wool but sew and wash like cotton with no scratchy wool itch.  Woolies flannel is comfy-cozy perfection with classic designs like herringbones, plaids, tweeds and dots in a rich array of home-friendly colors.  Guy-friendly too!

We currently have a kit to make this ready-for-fall quilt:

It is a Split Nine Patch pattern (which if you've never made one, this is a quick pattern that in the end looks more complicated than it actually is!)

The finished quilt measures 55" x 80" which is a perfect "throw" size.  I can already imagine all of those chilly fall evenings wrapped up in this quilt as I read a favorite book.  

The quilt kit sells for $82.49 and is available in the shop and also by ordering over the phone:  801-225-3123

Here's another quilt idea using the Woolies.  This one would make a great tv watching quilt for your favorite guy.  (note: this is not available as a kit)

I love the rich blues and greens!

The Blossom Bag + Kit

Need a new bag for Fall?  I have the perfect one for you AND it's available as a kit!

The Blossom Bag was designed by the very talented Carol Lawson.

I love the details she designed into the bag - the padded straps with the D-rings:

And all of the many pockets - on the back....

 ...and more on the front!  (I can't have too many pockets on my bags -they get filled so quickly!)

The Blossom Bag kit includes the fabric, buttons, metal rings, elastic and pattern - everything you need except the fusible fleece!  The kit is $39.50 and is available in the shop or through ordering by phone (801)-225-3123

Hooterville Quilt Kit

If you have been in to visit the shop in the last few months you may have noticed this adorable quilt hanging right over the main counter area.  I love each of the unique little owls!

The finished quilt measures 46" x 46" which makes a generous sized baby blanket but also would be perfect as a wall hanging!  

This quilt is called "Hooterville" and we do have quilt kits available.  The kit is $53 and as always, is available either in the shop or by ordering over the phone (801) 225-3123.

Halloween Spider Apron

Check out this cute spider apron I spotted -

The body of the spider is a pocket and the head of the spider is a large button.  So creative!  This pattern was created by Phyllis Dobbs and is available free online here.  Print out a copy of the pattern and bring it in to the shop.  We'll help you gather everything you need!  

His/Hers Aprons

If you're looking for a quick "finish-it-this-weekend" project I have the perfect idea for you:

This is a His/Hers Apron done in some of the Going Coastal fabrics from Emily Herrick (Crazy Old Ladies). 

There's still plenty of time for a few more backyard barbecues before the snow starts to fall, and this would make a great gift.  We have just a few of these cute kits left:

His/Hers Apron kits are $32.  Stop by or give us a call if you would like to order over the phone (we do ship!)  

801-225-3123

We also have just the pattern available if you'd like to choose your own fabrics.  I think it would be a fabulous Christmas gift done in some of the Little Black Dress fabrics  (these are a few of my favorites from the collection)

Halloween Quilt Kit

This is one of our newest quilt kits available:

The pattern is called "Gumballs" and is included with the kit.  The finished quilt measures 55" x 65" and the kit is available for $52.50 which includes everything you need except the backing and the batting.  

Stop by the shop or give us a call if you'd like to order over the phone!

Polka Dot Stitches

 Polka Dot Stitches (Riley Blake) is new in the shop this week.  I'm a real sucker for greens and grays and when you add in that robins-egg-blue my head starts spinning with ideas on how to use it all!

Here is one project idea using four of the green prints and four gray prints:

Polka Dot Stitches quilt (measures 44" x 44")
