My goodness, it's been nearly a month since we posted a blog update! Where does the time go? We have been busy, busy, busy. You will want to stop in soon to see some of our new fabrics as well as some great samples to inspire you!
Brooke is offering a Cathedral Window class on wednesday, March 30, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. This 3-hr class is a fun twist on the traditional cathedral windows, using templates and the cathedral window ruler (made by Creative Grid). Rectangular cathedral windows adds a new dimension to your project and results in a 24" x 24" wall hanging. Be sure to sign up in advance so you can complete the required steps before class.
Speaking of inspiration, there are some new books that just came in.
