Last weekend was our 4th annual Bus Shop
Hop in Hutchinson. What a fun day! The weather was beautiful, the shop was
full of new displays, quilts and gifts and everyone was enjoying themselves.
Lynette shared her design studio with our shop hoppers and spent time
visiting with them, as well. My staff spent weeks getting ready for the
event and the displays, food and ambiance were terrific. We are so fortunate
to share the building with the Thimbleberries design studio. All of
Lynette’s new projects from the
Treats No Tricks fabric collection
was on display. The
Treats no Tricks book
is full of projects
that we have the kits for.
Pumpkin Blossom and
Halloween Stars
are both great looking wall quilts.
Night Magic and
Quick Tricks
table runner are small projects for the table that you can finish up in a
weekend.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and
we have some great Mother’s Day gift ideas. How about a
Mother-
Daughter Tea Towel Apron set? The gift package has two spring tea
towels with coordinating fabric for apron strings. The directions and
pattern pieces for making the aprons are included in the gift set. The
aprons measure 20.5” x 28.5” and are only $14.95 for a set of two. Another
quilters gift is our
Flower Tower.
Each Flower Tower has 3 yards of fabric topped with spring flowers. Buy an
assortment of Flower Towers
to give a quilting friend or mom.We have our annual Garden Party the first Saturday in May. Everyone comes dressed with their decorated garden gloves to help celebrate spring at the Main Street Cotton Shop. Since not everyone is able to come to our celebration, we are going to bring the party to you.
To help celebrate the arrival of spring, we are going to give a 25%
discount on
Tulip Patch from the
Berry Patch book
and
Starlight Throw from the
Sunshine & Shadow book. Both
kits are done in the
Berry Patch fabrics and will give a fresh springtime look to any room.
The new
Wool Creations are in and have been super with the Woollies projects
from Thimbleberries. Start your
House of Hearts now, frame it and what a beautiful piece of artwork to
hang in your home.Our new Timberlodge collection of fabrics arrived this week and the signature print has been a hit. The collection is a super soft flannel with a variety of prints. The focus fabric is a fun print that will look great as a signature print in a quilt. It is one of those pieces that our customers tell us they "just have to have". Don’t wait too long to purchase it, it’s going fast.
Between gardening and quilting, there simply is not enough daylight or time to get everything done. The great part about being a quilter is that there is always something new and challenging for us to do and you don't need daylight to start or finish.
