Halloween is coming...
Whew, that wind was howling! All those bright, lovely leaves are now on the ground, in piles big enough to jump in. It seems like it happens overnight. And just like the leaves fall, the weather turns from sunny and comfortable to brisk and windy. It's time to head inside and start your new project! As you'll see below, we've gotten some really great fabrics in the shop in the past few weeks, so inspiration should be easy to find. Not in the mood for a bed quilt? Make a table runner for Halloween or Thanksgiving. Make a wall hanging or a throw for yourself or a friend. Create a beautiful baby quilt for someone in need. There are plenty of places to spread your quilt joy, and lots of people who will appreciate it. We love to sew - let's make time to do it!
We hope you're making your plans for the third annual Halloween Haunt Tour! All four shops are as excited as you are for this mini-Shop Hop - for more details, see the information below.
Make A Difference Day 2018 is almost here! We'll meet Sunday, October 28 from 11-4, to hand-sew bindings on several quilts. Come for an hour, or stay all day! Just bring a thimble and a small pair of scissors - we'll supply the rest. Please call the shop and let us know if you're coming - we want to make sure we can accommodate everyone!

| Recent Fabric Arrivals These are several of the arrivals in the past two weeks: NOTE: For a close-up look at the fabrics, click on the photos!
 Winter Love
These lovely blues and purples make this more of a wintry line, instead of an obvious holiday theme. This group will make a comfy throw for a kid (or a penguin lover!).
 Spice It Up
We love it when Jo works in lesser-used colors! There are plenty of blues and reds out there, but our stashes are usually a bit shy of greens and golds. These small prints will be a great addition to your next Reproduction quilt!
 Batiks
by Hoffman
In our never-ending quest to keep our batik inventory fresh, here are Judy's latest picks from Hoffman. They're printing some fabulous new designs, and the colors are always gorgeous!  Nature's Glory from Kansas Troubles by Moda We love these designers! Nothing in their lines ever go out of style, because they design with continuity in mind - the prints and colors from this line go with prints and colors from previous lines - even years old! They are truly timeless.  You're All My Favorites from Anita Jeram by Clothworks From the illustrator of the sweet book and fabric line "Guess How Much I Love You" comes Anita's newest fabric line. Also based on a children's book, this line can be made into lots of kids items. A quick throw quilt paired with the book is a perfect gift for the small one in your life!  Baltimore House from Paula Barnes by Marcus Fabrics Use this beautiful line of fabric to make a traditional red and green quilt. The stunning border print (below) will frame your quilt nicely! 
 Solid-ish (left) from Kimberly Einmo by Timeless Treasures Misty (center) by Clothworks Viola (right) from Chong-A-Hwang by Timeless Treasures We grouped all these fabrics together, so you can see the gorgeous tone-on-tone fabrics we're getting at the shop. When you're looking for just a hint of texture, we've got just what you need!  Passport by Windham Fabrics Map fabrics are always popular - Judy orders them whenever she sees a good one. This one just arrived last week. The whole world fits on a fat quarter! This print is much more realistic than many we see - wouldn't it be great for a geography lover? Make a bag, a throw quilt, or something fun like a backpack! |

 These new wool layer cakes (10-inch square packs) arrived last week! We've had lots of customers looking for some bright wools, and now we have them -
Woolwerks from Andover. We folded back the corners of each colorway so you can see what you get in each pack. Click on the image for a closer look! Now you can make lots of brightly colored wool projects. Fair warning, though - there is a limited supply of these!
