Some fun wool applique
I love wool applique, and I love Lisa from Primitive Gatherings even more! When she offered to put together a collection of wool for my 101 Maple Street fabric line, I said yes, yes, yes! Just look at this yummy wool! Have you ever seen such a perfectly co-ordinated bundle?

Put 101 Maple Street on your calendar for August
Tomorrow (May 1) is the last day to pre-order your 101 Maple Street quilt kit! I have to get kit orders into Moda, and of course, I’ll order some extra, but there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to get one if you don’t pre-order.

You’ll also meet Henrietta again, and this time she’s gathering pomegranates. She’s…

Olivia likes Halloween
You’re probably not thinking about Halloween now, but I am. Olivia made me do it!

Olivia would look pretty cute surrounded with pumpkins on your Halloween table and you’ve got plenty of time to make her. Here’s the best thing…the “Olivia” pattern and these bundles are on sale through August 7th, along with everything else on our website. 25% off when you enter the code Augustsale … you can save a bundle :>)
