I think spring is coming?
Know what I saw on my walk yesterday morning? Several 1/2” high pieces of green grass. They were just in one little patch, but they were green! Spring IS coming! Still no hummingbirds though, but I expect them any day now since the weather has been in the 60s here all week (although it sure seems to be changing today!!!).
Thinking ahead about spring makes me think about flowers. We have had some awesome fabrics come in with columbines, mixed mountain flowers, and mixed meadow flowers from FreeSpirit Fabrics. The fabrics each have a variety of colors that will coordinate with a lot of different fabrics.
Back in stock at long last are the Minky National Park blankets - no sewing required – these are ready to go blankets!
The NoCo Shop Hop is getting ever closer. All the shops showed up at the Presser Foot a couple of weeks ago to sort a lot of boxes of 14 different fabrics so that each store had enough bolts of the right colors to make its 500 blocks. (Each store will have its own block necessary to complete the quilt.) It was an impressive amount of fabric.
A heads up for all of you who live in or near Idaho: Peak to Peak Stitching will be at the Boise, Idaho Quilt, Craft, and Sewing Show May 8-10. Stop by our booth and check us out!
