Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer--does that sound familiar? This is the time of the season that you really need to enjoy because it is only a matter of weeks before it will be gone and we will settle into the changes that will bring cold and (ugh) snow. It really is the best time to get your magazines, books, patterns, etc. out and make a plan for all those projects that you really must get finished before the end of October. And, if you are planning on sending them to a long arm quilter, make your reservation so that you know exactly when they need to be ready.

We will be putting the Fall fabric out over the next few days. I think that it has all finally arrived and ready for its debut. We have a couple of really great panels as well as some wonderful prints that will make up into a great pieced throw or table runner.

Table runner patterns really are a great bang for your buck. They make up easy, make a great statement for changing out your decor and make a wonderful gift to boot. So often a cut of fabric off the bolt will yield enough fabric for two projects. If you don't have a favorite table runner pattern, ask us we have several options for you to try.

I am just finishing up the last sample from the Thimbleberries book, Christmas Countdown. These really are wonderful projects. We have the books as well as all the fabric, plus all of the projects in the book look great in other fabrics as well.

Looking forward to seeing you soon. Barbara
