February Flowers, Trolleys and Other Goodies!

It looks like another snow day here in Toronto!

We have lots of new goodies in stock. First are the February Flowers of the month from Northcott. There are three prints that feature violets. If you have a quilting friend with a birthday this month the fat quarter bundle (which is 8.99) makes a wonderful gift. You could also use the fabric to make an apron, tablerunner or thread catcher for the February birthday girl.

We are also now carrying a range of sewing machine trolleys. We have a three piece set that includes the sewing machine case, Cutting board case and fat quarter tote bag or you can purchase the sewing machine tote on its own!

All the snowy weather has given me the chance to watch some of the video rentals that we now have. I have really enjoyed the American Quilter Series. For $5 you can rent the video for a week and it features 3 episodes of the wonderful show. Each one features a famous American Quilter interview, a demonstarion and one great quilt of the week and a road trip to visit a quilting event. Great for keeping you company as you sew!

It's A Snow Day!

The weather is horrendous out there today so we are closing the store. I hope everyone stays in and finds time for a little extra sewing - I know that's what I will be doing!
