An update on Duckie. Duckie is the name we chose for the newborn orphan kitten many of you saw at shop hop. He is now 15 days old and gaining every day. He's been to Cedar Rapids and to Gays Mills for apples. Quite the little traveler and as most babies he likes car rides. He'll be 10 weeks old at Christmas - hint, hint.
Thanks all for coming to shop hop. It is so much fun to see what inspires you. We have the complete line of Utopia from Timeless Treasures. It is vivid batik colors with a black background butterfly. Great line for some of the Mountain Peak patterns or a row by row. We have two new lines from Blank. Pansy Passion that has pansies and butterflies. Gorgeous colors. Kitty Kat is a neat line drawing of cats, cat eyes and paws. It is in two color ways, one black, tan and brown and the other is bright colors -- both with black backgrounds. We have several bolts from Elizabeth Studios line A Stitch in Time. Bring Nature Home from Kaufman is a jungle theme print with blocks.
Yesterday was a wonderful day for Fedex, with a cool order from Benartex. One is a horse theme, called Best of the West and the other is I Want My Space. The space themed one has two oversized panels -- with the moon and the other is a view of the earth from outer space. It has some neat coordinates also. There are two free patterns for them, too.
A Soldier’s Story came in today, from Studio E. It’s a Civil War panel with coordinates.
Another fun thing we did is the Spicy Spiral table runner. The ruler will be here next week but e already have the pattern. Looks harder than it is and fun ,fun.
What is left of Halloween kits and fabric is 25% off. We got carried away this year because it was so cute.
More fun news is Pieced Tree is coming out with 13 new little card patterns. We are in the dark too about what they are but have ordered them because we know they will be good. They will be released after market. IF Carolyn and Duckie had gone to Houston we could have had them sooner! |
