Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, good days and not so good days. As many of you may know, my dear husband has battled a long and impressive time with neuropathy, multiple lung diseases and cancer. We have been told that once again twists and turns are upon us. He has been diagnosed with a lesion in his brain which is cancer and the prognosis is terminal. I tell you this because so many ask and offer their thoughts to me and for him constantly. I cannot begin to express how much that means to both of us. I and our children and grandchildren are preparing for the final moments we have together. I will be intermittently available at shop for a time. If you need my personal attention, please email or call to arrange a time we can both be there at the same time. Again, I want to send my deep appreciation for everyone's concern and good wishes.

Now for the good stuff!!! The charm square bundles of April Cornell's new line are in. 45 wonderful pieces. These little bundles of joy can make a fantastic quilt. Two packages and you have a stunning bed topper. I am not sure when the bolts will arrive, but hopefully they are right behind.

Elly's new line of fabric will be coming to us the first of September. We will be doing fat quarter bundles like we did for the last line. I am sorry I can't give you an exact price but you can call and put your name on a list to be notified and/or be included in the "first cut". When I saw this line at Market it is stunning. I was fortunate to talk with Elly at the Kaufman booth and she explained the rational behind several pieces and I told her I thought this was her best ever. You really don't want to miss out on this I think these bolts will go fast. Baltimore Elegance, her new book will be arriving about the same time as the fabric line. So much to look forward to.

We are in that time frame that things are arriving frequently. Stop by and see all the wonderful new things. I will give you more updates on Sunday and, hopefully, see you at the shop. Barbara
