New Patterns - are finally here!
One can only wonder why a quilt called Spring Bloomers doesn't have pieced and/or appliqued flowers in it.....but that's not what this fun quilt is all about. You'll have to read the story to find out
why it's named what it is. PPL096 SPRING BLOOMERS can now be found on the website on the pattern page.
A favorite time of year for me, FALL, means harvest and a social event that usually takes place.
PPL097 HARVEST SOCIAL can also be found on the website. Use up those scraps we all have the need to save forever.......here's your chance to put a hurtin' on them.
The latest newsletter went out this week and for those of you not on the email list here's some fun stuff you might want to be included in.

I've been asked to do another summer sew in project. Last year's project was the wool penny rug shown below. Sign up before May 30th to get in on this year's project. I will be sending out a pdf file packet to everyone that wants to play. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE if this summer isn't good for you, don't sign up. Everyone will have only 1 week to complete a section and pass it along....and, at the end of the summer everyone's name will go into the bucket. There will only be one winner.
The Wedding Day quilt was a big success in the Primitive Quilts and Projects Magazine last year.
I you haven't already made your own, here is a source for the background fabrics in a kit. Her kit consists of lights and darks for the background.
Kit source
Bonnie from Willow Wood Market Quilt Shop in Bemidji, MN is offering the fabrics for the background in a kit.
She also sells wool if your stash is small. Give her a holler if you need the background fabrics. As you can see in the picture, her background is both light/dark.
