Wow!  What a quilt show this past weekend!  Weren't those quilts wonderful?!  Thank you to all who came by our booth.  This was our best show ever.

More fabrics have come in - this is so exciting.  A new line of Christmas (did I just say that?!) fabrics, reminiscent of earlier days.
New batiks that created quite a stir at the show. 

Come on down and check it out - be seeing you.

T-minus 1 day and counting for the London Friendship Quilters Guild "Harvest of Quilts 2012" Quilt Show at Rowntree United Church.  We set up the booth this morning.  Wow!  So many things to bring and not enough table space.  It's like setting up a small shop.  We LUUUVVV the products from Laundry Basket Quilts - check out our laundry basket at the show.  The primitive bolts will be there, too.  Lotsa stuff - lotsa fun.  Gorgeous quilts on display.  Raffles - Toonie Table - Tea Room.  This is the last entry post before the show.

My apologies to those of you who visited the shop this past week only to find it closed due to illness.  The nasty tummy bug hit me big time Monday night.  Just another reminder to wash the hands, wash the hands, wash the hands, especially before eating something.  If the virus is on your hands and you pop something into the ole maw, you have a pretty good chance of getting symptoms and I'll stop there.

We are gearing up for the London Friendship Quilt Guild Quilt Show on Friday and Saturday, October 26 & 27th (Friday, 10 am to 8pm; Saturday 10 am to 4pm).  The shop will be closed the morning of Thursday, October 25, to allow us to set up our booth.  Lots of new products brought in for this show and beyond - great Christmas gift inspirations (or for yourself - why not!).  Everything at our booth will be 20% off so there will be bargoonies galore.  Hope to see you there.

3 NEW CLASSES added to the schedule.  Learn Machine Quilting, the Hunter Star Table Runner and Crown Jewels quilt/wallhanging.
