 Minkee/Cuddle 

Patti was a little enthusiastic at the recent Quilt Market in Houston when she saw all the beautiful minkee/cuddle available.  It was similar to watching a child in a candy store!  The staff now has had to deal with just under 150 bolts of soft fluffy fabric!  Not only is there all the colours you are familiar with, white, pink, blue, but Shannon Fabrics is printing the bright Robert Kaufman prints onto Cuddle.  Must be seen to be appreciated!  We also have double sided fleece which make up quickly into the cuddliest blanket ever!

 

 

Organic Cottons are now available at

Earthly Goods!

Here is how it works:
Purchase one, two or many Cinnamon Sticks at Earthly Goods. A Cinnamon Stick is made up
of 2 pieces of fabric plus triangle paper for sewing accurate Half Square Triangles and an
instruction sheet. Each Cinnamon Stick will make 28 Half Square Triangles. You will sew your
Half Square Triangles, cut them apart and return them to Earthly Goods in groups of 28. We
will register your name and keep track of how many you have returned. Earthly Goods will
continue to receive your Half Square Triangles until April 17th, 2010 when they will be mixed
and sorted.

Now the fun starts!
The HST will be distributed at the 'Cinnamon Stick Party' on April 30th, 2010, 7pm– 10 pm.
If you turned in 280 HST you will receive 280 HST.
There will be some inspirational quilts on display, as well as books and patterns. Depending
on your choice of pattern you may need anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred HST!
You can use them in blocks, in sashings, settings or borders. The possibilities are endless!
You can also be ambitious and make more than one project. The Show and Share party in
September will reveal all the wonderful projects. There will be door prizes, and one lucky
winner will receive a $200 Gift Card!
