Are you ready for some Valentines?

Valentine's Day is just around the corner -
and we have a few project kits and patterns
 ready for you to whip up -
just in time for your Valentine!

The following four
Valentine's kits are
on special - 
25% off until February 14th!

First is our rendition of an old Valentine quilt:
"Top Hat"
 Don't you love the great striped border?

Next up - Candy Hearts:
 
A little piecing and a little applique.
Cute, cute, cute!  Pattern and kit available.

This Friendship Star quilt
is a project that benefits Breast Cancer Awareness -
A jelly roll pack, a background fabric kit 
(the pattern is included with this fabric kit), 
and you have a wonderful lap quilt to keep or gift. 
(As you can see from the fabric packs in front of the lap-quilt,
 we made our finished quilt take a little swim in the coffee! 
You can do yours the same, or leave it bright.)

Small Endearments:
quick and easy - just a few half square triangles
(triangle paper is included in the fabric kit)
some strip-piecing and you have
a finished candle mat or table topper!

Happy Ventine's Day from the Old Maid

It's finally done!! I got the last of the quilting done and the binding put on and it's at the shop as we speak.  Mel has the template patterns, graphs and instructions and it's ready to go- as soon as they get it all printed up.  What am I talking about?
This is a reproduction of a small valentine quilt from the 1850's. We're doing research into the Phoenix Factory, but as yet have found nothing.  There is a small inscription under the heart to "Squire Baldwine"  from "Old Mail".  Too sweet for words.  The kit will be available on a limited basis and when it's gone it's gone and there is no separate pattern available.  Get 'em while they're hot!   There are directions for working with waste canvas in one of the earlier posts.  Easy peasie.
