There is a nice selection of oriental fabrics that have just arrived at the shop. These fabrics do not last long so don't wait to see them. There has been alot of Japanese inspired quilt projects going on so drop in and check them out.

The Soft Landing Queen Size quilt batts are back in stock as well as the 1 lb. bags of Soft Landing Stuffing. 

Dip dyed sock yarn is in and going quickly . I wasn't sure how it was going to knit up  but I've seen some socks taking shape and can't wait to start a pair of my own.

I'm Back

Finally , a little free time to sit down and blog. 

Life has been keeping me very busy.

My Mom fell and broke her arm at my home while looking after the twins. No, they didn't push her down, she stumbled and did it all on her own and that's their story and they're sticking to it.

Our son Travis, has gone off to university in Grand Rapids , Michigan to go to school and play hockey. I'm not sure in what order but I am hoping for the best. lol

My days begin early in the morning and end in the late evening. I am spending quality time with my Mom , who does not slow down or stop and who can still be seen at Lottie Jones running the show.

We have been very busy at Andjareenas Place with lots of classes starting up for the fall. Saturday, we had a rain poncho class with the PUL fabric. What a day. I never saw a day that called for a rain poncho more than this past Saturday. I was amazed at the number of people who were in and out considering the torrential rains we were subjected to. I salute those of you who subjected yourself to that storm.

Hookers have started their inch mats and it was quite amazing to watch them choose from several quilt patterns to plan their rugs. We are multi purpose if nothing else.

Fall is just around the corner

I know you hate for me to say that but fall is just around the corner. The cooler nights are a good indication but I may have to eat my words after todays temperature. It is so hot outside that I'm almost afraid to leave the air conditioning. Everyone must have felt the same way today because the front door hasn't stopped opening and closing. I think we're like the animals and someone said it's going to be a long winter and women are out collecting for their indoor projects.
Classes are set for September and we are very excited about the new sewing classes. Pat is teaching a silk camisole for you to wear under your beautiful blouses and there are lots of quilting, hooking and stitching things going on as well.
I am trying to accomodate you ladies who are working all day so please bear with me. This year I am teaching a quilt in a day for the ladies who want to learn but can't give up four nights or four weekends. I hope this allows you to get started and enjoy the quilting bug like the rest of us.
Hookers, Janice Daniels is starting an inch mat class and you don't want to miss out. The class is already half full so don't forget to sign up!
We are still stitching, knitting and hand quilting on Thursday morning, so if you're stuck on something or need help , don't be afraid to join us and I will try to solve your problem. There are no machines at this class.
See you soon

New fall arrivals

I find it rather amusing that I am announcing fall arrivals in the middle of the hottest part of the summer. It doesn't feel anything at all like fall, but like death and taxes, you will be able to count on fall coming and before you know it we will be into the cooler weather. The PUL fabric that is completely waterproof has taken on a life of its own and I find people using it for various projects. Pat has made the cutest rain poncho and will be teaching it this fall. The monster fabric print in the PUL fabric is now in stock so for those of you who have been waiting my suggestion is to move quickly as I had barely opened it and it began selling.
There are numerous new fabrics for all your quilting and sewing projects this summer/fall so stop in and check them out.
Pat will be running another Chino Coat class so if you want on the list please make sure to call the shop as it fills up quickly.
The yarn is about to roll in. Knitters beware! lol . The yarn orders for fall are starting to roll in and I am so delighted with the selections. For the sock knitters there will be some dip dyed as well as patterned yarn.
There are many new shades of Baby Bamboo on the way as well.
The Dreamz Interchangeable  Needle Sets should be in this shipment as well. For those of you who haven't used these needles, make sure they are on your Christmas list. They are amazing to work with.
As we get organized for fall make sure to check in on a regular basis. I will be running some daily specials that will make it worth your while.

More new fabric

Two very new and unusual fabrics. I was asked over and over again for Giraffe fabric and the one to the right is a pretty good one I think.
Just a small sampling of what is to come.
Cheers.
