Greetings from Pawling!!
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!! This year was a
very special one for us. Carter is now
19 months old and had the true spirit of Christmas. The past few weeks as I have been decorating,
shopping and baking; he has been watching trying to figure out what was going
on. Thankfully my very busy little boy was
very good about not touching the tree, ornaments, decorations or my beautiful tree
skirt. Christmas morning he was so amazed and excited that Santa came to visit
us. It took us most of the day to get
through all of his presents, but to see that little face full of joy was
priceless. I already cannot wait until
next year. I can only imagine how much more he will understand and how excited
he will be! I had better start shopping, quilting and planning now!
The rest of the afternoon was spent at my aunt’s house. It is such a wonderful feeling when everyone
gets together to laugh, reminisce and enjoy each others company and many family
traditions. My brother has a daughter,
Sophie, who is 15 months old. She of
course was as overwhelmed and enthusiastic as Carter. The two of them playing together, helping
each other open gifts, hugging each other and every once in a while running from
one another made this a very special day.
I have another niece and nephew, who unfortunately didn’t make the trip
here for Christmas, but we were able to spend Thanksgiving together. Four kids, ranging from 15 months to 3 years,
in one house together is an amazingly wonderful experience. I am sure in future years there may be some
arguing, but right now they all play with one another with innocence and curiosity.
I cannot wait for the next holiday when we are all together again!
Now that the holidays are over, it is time to start getting
ready for the New Year!! We have a busy schedule of classes coming this year
and an abundance of brand new fabric lines.
These are all available on our website as well as in store. Please click on the link to view our Newsletter Winter 2015
One of our newest lines is the Robert Kaufman Diary of aWimpy Kid collection. My cousin Dorrian,
also known as the Pawling Chicken, has been reading this series of books for as
long as I can remember. There was no
option but to get this fabric as soon as we saw it. This line is perfect for lunchboxes, pajama
pants, pillowcases and other great gift ideas for kids!
My little guy, Carter, loves trucks, tractors, cars and
bikes. When I saw the new Robert Kaufman Ready Set Go 2 Collection, I had to have it! Now that the holidays are over my
imagination is running wild to create all sorts of fun items for Carter using
this fabric. I will be sure to keep you
updated on the great ideas I have! Below are a few of the fabrics in this line,
to show you just how adorable they are.
We of course have not just been getting new children’s lines
in this week, but also the brand new Dear Stella Lila Collection. This sophisticated
yet fun and flirty fabric is deep purples and blues contrasting with a cool
marine green. I can picture this
beautiful collection used for little girl’s dresses, purses or as a quilt in a bedroom
for people of all ages. This line is available as a Cutie Pack or as yardage on
our website and in store.
I hope you enjoyed reading about our family Christmas and
some of our newest collections. Please be
sure to check our website for all of our great lines available.
We wish you a healthy and happy New Year!!
