We had a great time at Quilt Market. We found lots of exciting new products and ideas! We have been having fun with paint sticks. They are a great addition to wearables, totes and purses, wall hangings – and basically anything you want to paint! You don’t have to be an artist, there are stencils and rubbings that make it easy and fun! We have a classe in this newsletter if you want to give it a try. Along the paint line we have several patterns for floor mats. They are done using oil cloth, fabric and deco podge! These make quick, fun and cute Christmas gifts! The Christmas fabric is arriving everyday! And this year we have already gotten some of the fall fabrics which normally don’t arrive until September. Be sure to check out the new Kansas Trouble Christmas, Fruitcake by Basic Grey for Moda and Tiding by Nancy Halverson for Benartex.
