Valdani Colors…What’s your favorite?
Valdani has more colors than you ever thought possible, breathtaking colors that make you want to own them even if you don’t stitch. Each new color is more lovely than the last. It’s like opening a huge box of crayons each time we get a delivery. Just look at these Valdani Pearl Cotton collections I added to the website. Aren’t they pretty? If you enlarge the pictures you can hold them in your hand…well, almost. Colors go in and out of stock at Valdani quickly and because this thread is hand dyed we may have to wait a month or two before some colors are back in stock. I…

Warning! Watch out for the Dresden Bug!
This little bug can be hazardous. She may look innocent, but once you get her she’ll give you Dresden fever… …and then look at what can happen! Kim came to work today and collapsed. She collapsed from the weight of all the Dresden Plates she made over the weekend. She got the bug! Plates were flying everywhere in the studio. Poor Chelsea tried to help but didn’t really know what to do… It all started when the bug got into Kim’s sewing room. That bug made her so feverish she couldn’t stop sewing…not even to fix dinner for her poor family. She’s been sewing all weekend and her…

Vintage Treasures
We all seem to love those vintage treasures, especially when they happen to be quilts. Since many of us are working on our Dresden quilts I thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of a few vintage ones today. I was lucky enough to find this one on eBay last year for $28.00! My friend Nancy found this beauty in Sisters Oregon. I’m not sure what she paid for it but something tells me it was more than $28.00. It’s pieced with wool, silk and cotton, and embroidered with floss and yarn! Just look how sweet this one of Nancy’s is… Sometimes you can find unfinished blocks like these… …Or,…
