Merry Christmas!! That is the phrase we used today. As promised, all of the Christmas fabric is out and apparently there were a lot of you itching to get started on Christmas projects. A word of caution, this fabric won't last long so don't delay in coming in and seeing all the beautiful stuff and get ready to start your Christmas projects. I have been busy working on samples from the Thimbleberries book with all of that great fabric that we have. These are about the easiest and best projects that I have seen in a long time. Really, the first project in the book took less than 1/2 hour and I already have it quilted to boot. You can make a whole bunch of these and be ready to wrap before the kids are back in school. If you are in need of inspiration, I know that everyone working the floor will be able to give you tons of ideas.

Kathy and I are working on getting the shopping page ready. In the meantime, anyone wishing to preorder Elly's book, Baltimore Elegance, you may preorder until the end of July and using the Code 1234, you will receive a $5.00 credit. The price of the book is $29.95 plus s/h for out-of-town orders. As I have mentioned earlier, I saw Elly 's galley copy and it is maybe the best book she has done. Every Baltimore appliquer needs this book. You may email me or call the shop to place your order.

Come in and see us and let us get you started on all those great gifts. Barbara
