May Newsletter 2021
April showers bring May flowers! Aren't the tulips and daffodils beautiful? I'm so anxious for the bleeding hearts and the columbines to start blooming as well. If I'm not in a quilt shop, you can find me in a greenhouse picking out flowers. The colors speak to me in both places. We are continually getting new fabrics in the shoppe. There are always new samples to turn to for inspiration. We are already looking to making samples for summer and fall. This is a crazy busy time for everyone with Mother's Day, graduations and gardening. Be sure to find time for yourself to do your favorite things.
Quilter of the Month
Meet Lorraine Gaffney, our featured Quilter of the Month! Lorraine is self taught and has been quilting for 36 years.
She loves all fabric styles and enjoys Lisa Bongean's wool project patterns and Bonnie Hunter's complicated looking patterns that go with ease. Lorraine is especially fond of scrappy quilts. She loves applique and piecing quilts. She gets her inspiration from magazines, books, and Pinterest. Her favorite notions include Best Press and the Quilter's Select rulers. She uses the
6" x 24" all the time!
Be sure to stop by and check out our window filled with Lorraine's beautiful quilts. You will find lots of inspiration!
