Moda Block of the Week

Sales During July

New Fabrics

It's raining, it's pouring...

We do not like hearing that nursery rhyme in our heads, but it seems like the rain isn't going to stop! So although we can't get to our gardens, or do much outdoors, we can certainly sit at our sewing machines, or tuck up with our handwork, and get some quilting done!

A big thank you goes out to you, our customers, for coming in to see us, and to take home your favorite fabrics, last week during the Vermont Quilt Festival. We loved seeing all of you, and we hope you enjoyed your time with us at the shop. This week, we've been straightening bolts, cleaning up, and truthfully, resting a bit. It was a whirlwind!

Cindy's asking once again for machine quilters, to donate their time and skills to finish one quilt for Laurie's House. She will have kits ready to go soon, so please give her a call at the shop if you can help.

Moda Block of the Week

All those interested in showing off your blocks, or coming in with questions, we'll be at the shop Saturday, July 8 right at 10 a.m. We have a great time chatting about our blocks!

At left is Suzanne's "T Block" from Week 15, and Cindy's is at right.

Row by Row Experience 2017

Row by Row is here! Through the summer, until September 5, visit any participating shop, including Yankee Pride, and receive a free Row by Row pattern. Combine your rows any way you'd like, to make a unique and fun quilt. We've seen some great quilts in the past few years! The first person to bring a completed quilt into a Row by Row shop wins a prize of 25 fat quarters! This year's theme is "On The Go", and you can see our row below. For more information, click here for the Row by Row website. Have fun collecting, and we hope to see you soon!

Snowberry Prints
from 3 Sisters

by Moda

We finished getting oodles of Christmas fabric in. This pretty line doesn't have to be used for holiday projects - who doesn't love a good red-and-white quilt? Use these prints to get started on your next one!

Sports Life

by Robert Kaufman

Living in the Northeast, hockey fabrics are always popular. Judy buys them whenever she sees a good one. The soccer balls? Great colors, and an accurate representation of what you see on any soccer field these days. Soccer balls aren't just black and white anymore!

Autumn Reverie

by Clothworks

The leaf fabrics are wonderful tone-on-tones! They give the feeling of fall, without being obvious. And the sunflower print is just fun! This group would make a great table runner, wouldn't it?

Storybook Meadow

by Robert Kaufman

Oh, my goodness! Tiny animals dancing around the Maypole! Quilters just love cute animal prints for baby quilts, clothes, and accessories. We would love to look out the window and see critters playing like this - if it ever stops raining!

Just for Fun

by In The Beginning

These prints are a touch more modern than the rest of our offerings this week. We really like the patchworked farm animals (left in photo). That print will make a great bib!

Afternoon in the Attic

by RJR

These pretty little prints will fit in wonderfully with your 30s collection of fabric. The two grid prints (bottom in photo) will make a lovely border for any 30s project you're working on! And wouldn't any of the three make a pretty apron? We think so!

Thank you, as always, for your business, and thank you for being our customer. We love that you still believe in shopping local!
