Golden Gate

  Do you ever get your fingernails done?  You know that I do if you have ever watched my youtube videos.  It is one of things in life that I enjoy doing.  About twenty years ago, I found out that there was a way from keep me from biting my nails.  Yes, I was a nailbiter.  I have always wanted long nails but as a biter that was not going to happen.  For twenty years now, I have been getting my nails done.  She does a French manicure because with all the sewing that I do I wear the polish off before it was time to redo.  They look longer then they really are because of the way that they are done.
  On to today's block--Golden Gate.

Birds in the Air

  What a great way to start the new year with soup night with the grandchildren.  For Christmas, some of the grandchildren gave me some soup mixes that they liked.  So tonight, I fix one and had bread and crackers to go with it.  Cookies for dessert to finish it off.      
  For today's block-- Birds in the Air.  This one is a nice change of pace, made with five large triangles.

In other news, our very first Row by Row customer came in with her project.  Doris brought her quilt by yesterday and showed us her beautiful creative design.  Thank you, Doris, for letting us see it!

We own two long arm machines and lots of quilting experts to help you finish your projects. We welcome you to come in or call to learn more about how we can help with every stage of your quilt.

Our Greatest Asset

Well that would be you, of course.

Our customers come in with an idea or two.  














They go home with some raw materials.  

 

 

And they create masterpieces.

(These customers used our Sturgis fabric and our Row by Row kit.)

We love seeing our customers' finished projects.  They show us the brilliant creativity that our sewers possess. 

If you come in to the store for fabric, notions, or just help, we would love to see what amazing quilt you come up with.

Sew Much Stuff

So.  It's Rally time.  There's a lot of traffic going on in our little town.  Some of those cars are stopping in the store to pick up their Row by Row Experience kits.  Make sure you stop by and get yours before they run out.

We're proud of our contribution to the South Dakota Row by Row Experience.  :)

Today is Wednesday!  Our new Wednesday fabric line sale is Riverwoods Whispers.  Regularly $12.00.  Now only $8.60 per yard. 

We are getting in the cutest Christmas fabrics right now.  I love these penguin and polar bear buddies in our Arctic Antics line.  You can click on any of the pictures to order on our website.

Our new Block of the Month is coming soon!  We will start Marcus Fabrics' Star Spangled Liberty series on September 15.  Check on our website in the coming weeks to sign up!

Did you know we also sell finished projects?  If you need a quilt, wall hanging, or table runner on the double, order one from our website.  We have multiple patterns and sizes available for all of your gifting needs.

As we get closer to Rally, we will post some pictures of the great crowds.  Have a great week!
