The first weekend of Quilt Retreat Feb 8 10, 2019 still has openings. Call soon! Now is the time to snuggle up with some warm winter knitting and crochet. We have some really yummy chunky yarns from King Cole and The Alpaca Yarn Company. Because these work up really fast you would still have time to create a handmade gift for Christmas. Recently I made a trip to South Dakota to visit my mom. I always have to visit the local quilt shop that is in Sioux City, Iowa. While I was there I saw a very cute envelope wallhanging that is perfect for displaying Christmas cards. The designer actually works in the store so I got to talk to her and order some patterns. She was so excited to have her design travel all the way to Wichita. Ruth whipped up our model and it s on display.
One of our local designers Deb Johnson has been at it again and has created this cute Christmas tablerunner that would be perfect in any of your holiday displays. I love gnomes! When I saw this pattern I couldn t wait to get started. I used lots of grunge dots to create the little guys. I chose to make the mushrooms in my quilt but there is also an option to make trees if you prefer. Who Who Me? We have the kits to make this cute little wool pincushion. It stitches up so fast and is stuffed with ground walnut shells which we have in lavender or unscented.
This beauty was stitched by Ruth and shows her love of all things neutral. Hollow Star is the pattern and it features a 60 degree diamond ruler. This quilt would also be fabulous as a Quilts of Valor project all done in red, white and blue. This furry Alpine yarn was a huge hit during the Yarn Hop. This super soft cowl is an easy, fast project using size 15 needles and 2 skeins of yarn. Betcha can t make just one!
