Here is our Row for this year's theme "Home Sweet Home." We decided to turn our row into a pillow, but the pattern has an option to just make a regular row, or to make the pillow. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When we heard the theme for this year's rows, we tried to think about what "Home Sweet Home" means to us. We decided to include images of three holidays that people come home for, each peeking out of the window of a house. We used a pilgrim's hat for Thanksgiving, a tree for Christmas, and a bunny for Easter.</div>

My mom, Cathy, and I have been very busy designing new CUTIE Collections Patterns. We are also excited that we are now selling these patterns to other quilt shops throughout the United States to sell at their stores. If you know a shop that may be interested, please let them know all about our CUTIES!<br />

I can't believe he turned 3 on May 21st!! For those of you that have followed his birthday parties in the past, I did reuse his Birthday Banner, Chair Cover and tableclothes. However, this year I added a Dinosaur table cloth and made special party hats for all of the kids that attended. I even made one in a smaller version for Carter's favorite little buddy "Kitty Cat"</div>

Carter has quite a few quilts, so I decided to do a few other fun things. First I made a laundry basket/toy bin and a garbage can for him. I used the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9568-stacking-pop-ups-pattern.aspx">Stacking Pop-Ups Pattern</a>. Carter was a Minon for Halloween so I thought it appropriate to use these fabrics. I used the<a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9572-stacking-pop-up-refills-extra-large-14-inch-fqg125.aspx"> extra large ring </a>for the toy bin and the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9571-stacking-pop-up-refills-large-105-inch-fqg124.aspx">large size</a> for the garbage can. They came out perfect and will not only help keep us a little organized but also add a character to his room. The Refill Rings are also available in <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9570-stacking-pop-up-refills-medium-8-inch-fqg123.aspx">Medium</a> or <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9569-stacking-pop-up-refills-fqg126.aspx">all 3 sizes in 1 Package</a>!<br />
<br />

So of course Carter needs a sleeping bag of his own. Quite a few years ago, our friend Sue Goth designed the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-6126-childrens-sleeping-bag-pattern.aspx">Childrens Sleeping Bag Pattern</a> for the Quilt Basket. I took this pattern and created it again using the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-864-moon-shine.aspx">Free Spirit Moon Shine Fabric Collection </a>by Tula Pink. The little pillow with pockets for his favorite stuffed animals is just adorable!!<br />

My nephew Jeffrey was born last Januray 1st, so this will be his first Christmas. All of the grandkids will be at my parents house together this year and everyone has a stocking but Jeffrey. So, I decided to make him one using the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9566-thimble-blossoms-merry-stockings-pattern.aspx">Thimble Blossoms Merry Stocking Pattern</a> and add a little Deco Foil to make it extra special.<br />
This foil is a lot of fun to do and can be used for so many different projects. We made a tablerunner, stockings and ornaments to start but are coming up with different ideas to use throughout the year.<br />

Finally, we just got in the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9567-may-chappell-clutched-pattern.aspx">May Chappell Clutched Pattern</a>. Elaine made the first sample for the shop using the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-933-eden-by-tula-pink.aspx">Free Spirit Eden Fabric Collection</a> by Tula Pink. It came out so great that my mom has been making these in mass production out of all different fabrics for Christmas gifts.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will continue to try to come up with different ideas this week, and will share them with you soon! These quick and easy yet attractive and original gift ideas are perfect for everyone on your list!<br />

Grandma and Grandpa are heading to see my cousins for their birthdays (and my Uncle Aric who turned a very big number!)<br />
Anyway, they left me in charge of the shop and I found a way to work the register!<br />
I also put all the Halloween fabric on sale. Use code Treat50 now through November 10th for the sale.<br />
Thanks for reading my first blog!<br />
Love,<br />

This was the first time we were a vendor at Quilt Market to release our Cutie Collections Patterns and our new Cutie Collections Block of the Month.<br />
<br />
We arrived on Thursday and spent the evening with my Aunt and Uncle who live nearby. We haven't seen them since my wedding in 2011. We had a great time catching up and went back to the hotel with 8 boxes, which we had shipped to them from New York.<br />
<br />
Friday morning I taught my first Schoolhouse. I was happily surprised that there was barely even standing room in the back! Everyone loved hearing all about our Cutie Collections Patterns and seeing the brand new Block of the Month.<br />

As excited as I was to have the opportunity to do this talk, I was glad it was over and was a success. Then it was time to set up our booth. It came out beautiful with 17 of our Cutie Quilts hanging and the 2 Samplers (Block of the Months).<br />

That evening we had a chance to have dinner with the rest of my relatives who live locally. I love that even though we don't get to see each other very often, we immediately start chatting, laughing and end up having a fantastic time!! I cannot wait to see them all again soon! (Yes I may be the shortest one in my family!!)<br />

The next few days were filled with Quilt Market activities. Meeting with other vendors, the 40th Anniversary Dinner with Moda and manning our vendor booth. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us. I was so happy to see how excited everyone was to learn about our product!!<br />
<br />
The last few minutes of Market, I was pleasantly surprised to see Tula Pink stop by our booth to see the Jack's Star Cutie Collections Quilt Pattern designed by Debby Brown!!<br />

While we were in Houston, Carter was back home spending a couple of days with his friend Grady and a nice long weekend with his daddy. When I got home, he couldn't stop talking about all of the fun things he did. These include going to the park, getting a hay delivery for our goats, helping daddy get ready for our local towns dump day and so much more!<br />

<br />
We had a fantastic weekend! Debby Brown taught our annual Fall Machine Quilting Retreat. We had 14 participants and everyone really enjoyed themselves! Since our shop here in Pawling is smaller than our old shop in Wappinger Falls, we rented out the Mizzentop School and it was perfect!<br />

Between lunch and dinner we had some cheese and crackers and everyone came over to the shop to see what's new and peruse the HandiQuilter wall of fun! <br />
<br />
After dinner, while everyone was enjoying their cupcakes as dessert, we had a little show and tell. <br />

Sunday was another fun filled day of great food, company and demonstrations. On Sunday the class brought in quilts from home that were yet to be quilted to discuss what quilting designs they may want to quilt on them. One of these was a Cutie Collections Pattern Squared Away done out of the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-841-modern-neutrals.aspx">Moda Modern Neutrals Collection</a>. I love seeing our Cutie Quilts out of different lines of fabric!!<br />

Sunday my parents had a wonderful time running our booth at the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show in Poughkeepsie. While they were there, I ran our final Technique of the Month Class of 2015 with Jackie Kunkel (certified Judy Neimeyer instructor) at the Mizzentop School in Pawling. We have spent the last 9 months watching the students work on their quilts, every one is so unique and beautiful. Thank you to everyone who attended this class, we had a lot of fun!!<br />

While all of these Quilt Basket events were happening, Carter was
invited to go pumpkin picking with a few friends of ours. He had a

We also had a wonderful time with our friend Grady and his Grandma Sue Sue at the <a href="http://www.millbrook.org/page/School-Life/Trevor-Zoo">Trevor Zoo in Millbrook</a> this weekend. The weather was perfect for a walk around the zoo! We couldn't resist this photo of the boys holding hands while running around to see all of the fun animals! If you are local, this is a great place to visit for kids and adults. <br />

Yesterday we were able to make it to the Beekman Rec in between rain showers so Grady and Carter could run off some energy. These boys are best friends and I love watching them play together. Hopefully, the weather will continue to be nice so we can squeeze in a few more outdoor playdates!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I have a new Cutie Collections Quilt on my design board- I'd better get working on it so I can reveal it to you soon!!<br />

Have a great week!<br />

With the Fall season upon us we have had some beautiful days as well as some cold nasty days. Of course when it's nice out I am bringing Carter to as many outdoor activities as I can before winter approaches. Last week we went with our playgroup to Meadowbrook Farm in Wappinger Falls to pick some apples. It was a warm day and the kids had a blast! I think Carter's favorite part was the fresh apple cider and homemade doughnut after picking!<br />

Unfortunately we have also had some cold raining days, but thanks to grandma we had a new fun activity!! We just got in the new <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-937-color-me.aspx">Michael Miller Color Me fabric Christmas Candy fabric</a>. Carter had a great time coloring in the trains. I chose to use washable markers this time so we can turn it into a placemat and he can color it again and again. These fabrics would make great Christmas gifts for all the kids in your family! Pillowcases, placemats, backpacks.... the options are endless!<br />

Our friend Kavanaugh stopped by yesterday to say goodbye to Carter. Kavanaugh was in training to become a guide dog. After 16 months of training and spending time with our Deacon John and his wife, today Kavanaugh was going back to the training center. He will be tested tomorrow and as much as we will miss him, we wish him lots of luck and a good home to someone in need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the last year, Deacon John has been nice enough to come to Pawling and visit us at the shop. Not only was this great training for Kavanaugh, but also fun for Carter. Carter's favorite part was giving Kavanaugh extra treats! Carter hopes Deacon John gets another puppy soon!!</div>

Since they are not around, it is up to my Aunt Anne, Carter and I to run the shop....which is always interesting. The last few days Carter has decided to focus most of his attention on the fly that is in the shop. It is quite entertaining to watch him run around the store with his bug cup trying to catch the fly so he can set it free outside.<br />
<br />
Carter's favorite toy of the week has been his hippo- which dances and sings songs. Yes it is fun to watch Carter dance all around the store, but after awhile my aunt was able to convince Carter that the hippo needs a nap. Here he is sleeping in his bed- since yesterday!! Don't worry Carter keeps checking on him to make sure he is ok. SHHHH.. you don't want to wake a sleeping Hippo!<br />

What else would this quilt shop try to make as a fun activity for a 2 year old than rolling cuties?! With all of our Cutie Patterns and the new Fabrics that have arrived, Cutie Rolling is a common activity both here and at home. I think Carter believes it is a version of arts and crafts. Can you tell which Cutie below was rolled by Carter????<br />

We are pretty excited about all of the fun fabrics that have been arriving.

The fabrics are beautiful and I think you are really going to like what we came up with! Keep checking back to see the finished project.<br />

<br />
I took off a few days earlier in the week to spend time with my mother-in-law who came to visit from Florida. The short time she was here was filled with many adventures. I always love when the family gets together! Carter really enjoyed seeing his G-Ma, Uncle Brett and Aunt Jennifer all together for a couple of days. Her last trip was not too long ago in May for Carter's 2nd birthday, but he has learned so much in a few months. I cannot wait for us all to be together again. We are just as close with all of them as we are with my family and we miss G-Ma already! <br />

This was the first week we didn't have my cousin Susanna with us at the QB (Quilt Basket). She started her first year at Notre Dame, and although we are so excited for her, we miss having her here with us. I cannot wait to see all the great things she will accomplish over the next few years- she continues to amaze us. Susanna is extremely talented and we are very proud of her.<br />
<br />
I am making a list of projects to send to her to work on to help us out when she isn't busy with her studies! As we always say, everyone in this family somehow ends up having a job with the QB. I received a picture of her dorm and the quilt my mom made for her bed is gorgeous! Susanna loves having a special quilt on her bed- I wonder how long it will take for her friends to start requesting one of their own.<br />
<br />
Carter had the privilege to FaceTime with Susanna for the first time the other night. Let's just say it was interesting watching a 2 year old walk around trying to show her all of his toys and tell her about all of his adventures. I think Susanna felt a little dizzy by the time the conversation was over. But, they both had a great time, and I am sure he will get better holding the phone steady after a few practices. <br />

Once I became a stay at home mom to my son Carter, I decided becoming a part of this family business needed to be my next big adventure. Having the opportunity to work with my family on a regular basis is truly a blessing- not just for me but for Carter. He loves to spend his days with his grandparents and great aunt. He is even more excited when my aunt brings my cousins into the shop to play with him. Sometimes I think he may be a little spoiled, but that is what life is all about when you are a 2 year old!<br />
<br />
I have noticed recently that my parents really have the "grandparents syndrome." They love spending time with all 5 of their grand kids and are always thinking up fun activities or gifts to get for all of them. When we were at Quilt Market back in May, we all fell in love with the adorable fabric line <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-937-color-me.aspx#">Color Me by Michael Miller</a>. This fabric is designed so children (or adults) can color the fabric in and make something out of it.<br />

The first thing my mom thought of was placemats. She used Carter as the tester for this since it seemed to keep him busy at the shop. For this project she had him use washable markers so he can reuse his placemat at different meals. I cannot wait to see all 5 of the kids color their placemats next time we are all together.<br />

A couple of weeks ago my mom came up with another fun idea. She decided to send my niece, Nora, and my nephew, Alton, a yard of fabric with permanent markers. The kids were so excited to get a package in the mail from grandma and grandpa and were even more excited when it was a fun activity. After a few days my sister-in-law sent them back to us. The fabric was perfect!! It is exactly what we expected to see from an almost 4 year old and an almost 2 year old. Scribbled, out of the lines, lots of color and adorable! Once we received the fabric back my mom made pillowcases out of the colored fabric. They came out great!<br />

I wonder what the next great idea will be that we come up with for the kids to do with this fabric. If you are a grandparent or parent- this is a really fun fabric line for you to enjoy with your kids. What ideas do you have to do with this fabric? We would love to see all of your great ideas- please send us pictures!<br />

Hi, everyone!<br />
Sorry I didn't blog last week. It's been a very busy two weeks!<br />
My parents are at the World Quilt Show- New England XIII in Manchester, New Hampshire. Stop by if you're in the area! Here's a picture of the Quilt Basket booth.<br />

Carter is getting really good at telling his colors! In addition to learning crayon colors, Carter is learning more obscure colors by spending so much time at a quilt shop! How would you describe the colors of <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-873-atelier.aspx#">Moda Atelier</a> (this weekend's QBF!) to a two-year-old? Comment to let us know! <br />

This was the first week Carter hasn't had swim lessons in a month. I think he might be missing his new friend Meg and missing his lake time outside everyday. But, I do think he is glad that Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Anne and his cousins are back this week from their travels. Carter really enjoys getting undivided attention and having playmates, of course maybe every 2 year old does. He is going to be sad come September when his cousins go back to school and Grandpa goes back to work. I'll have to come up with fun craft activities for him at the shop. One of which can be his <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-937-color-me.aspx#">Michael Miller Color Me</a> placemat- he LOVES to color!<br />

My parents had a fabulous time at the Quilt Odyssey Show in Hershey, PA last week spreading the word about our Cutie Quilts, Packs and Patterns. This Collection has been so much fun to work on and everyone who sees them seems to love them. I have a few more I am currently working on and will be sharing with you in the coming weeks. I'm so excited that my newest <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9474-cutie-pattern-qbcp-0027-sun-kissed.aspx">Sun Kissed Quilt</a> is such a huge hit! I just love these fabrics by <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-904-ex-libris-sun-print.aspx#">Alison Glass</a>!<br />

Now that the Handi Quilter Infinity Pro-stitcher is back from Hershey, my father helped me get it set up to machine quilt my first king sized quilt. It's coming out gorgeous! This is a wedding gift for friends of ours, and I know how much they are going to love it.<br />

Happy Friday!<br />
<br />
This week my parents are away at the <a href="https://server7.pacecomputing.com/quiltodysseycom/www/index.php">Quilt Odyssey Quilt Show</a> in Hershey, PA. They have a fabulous booth set up with over 20 different Cutie Quilts!! If you are in the area, be sure to stop by and see our booth! All 26 of our <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/c-125-cutie-patterns.aspx#">Cutie Patterns</a> are available at the show as well as on our website. Of course we have a very large variety of different <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/c-124-cutie-collections.aspx#">Cutie Packs</a> to choose from to make your special Cutie Quilt with. Just choose your favorite Cutie Pattern and match it with your favorite Cutie Pack! Some of my favorites include Oh My Stars, Follow My Lead, Spring Flowers, Sun Kissed and Tillie. Of course I have to admit, I just love them all! My mom, Cathy, and I have been very busy coming up with new patterns so check back to see all of our fun new designs! I am pretty excited about my newest pattern coming soon. I had some help from my very talented cousin Susanna.<br />
<br />
We would love to see the Cutie Quilts you make with the different patterns and packs. Be sure to send us a photo so we can add it to our <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/t-cuties.aspx">Cutie Gallery</a>. Send an email with your photo to orders@quiltbasket.com<br />

Carter and I have been busy running the shop this week. We are lucky enough to have some help from our friends Holly and Elaine. They were even nice enough to let Carter and I leave for a couple of hours to attend library story time and swim lessons! Tomorrow is the last session of swim lessons we are currently signed up for. Carter seems to LOVE the water and his swim instructor Meg. He talks about her everyday and tells me about how they scoop, kick, blow bubbles and even jump together! I might just have to sign him up for another 2 weeks this summer! As a kid, I was in swim lessons and then on a swim team through middle school. I really hope Carter enjoys the water as much as I still do.<br />

We have been busy getting ready for the <a href="https://server7.pacecomputing.com/quiltodysseycom/www/General-Information.php">Odyssey Quilt Show</a> in Hershey, PA next week. Be sure to stop in and see our booth if you are at the show!!<br />
<br />
I of course have also been busy with summer fun activities with Carter, including story time, swim lessons, playgroup at the park, and playdates with friends. I am looking forward to our town community day on Saturday. They have trains to ride, bouncy houses, prizes and lots of fun snacks!<br />
<br />
I am so excited to announce my newest Cutie Pattern "<a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9474-cutie-pattern-qbcp-0027-sun-kissed.aspx">Sun Kissed</a>" this week. I was inspired by the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-904-ex-libris-sun-print.aspx#">Andover Fabrics Ex Libris and Sunprints by Alison Glass</a>. This was a great way to use the panel and the patterns together in one quilt. The cutie pack, panel, and pattern are all available on our website. I decided to use the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/p-9014-sun-print-7752-g.aspx">lime green</a> as the backing for an extra pop of color too! <br />

As promised last week the new <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-937-color-me.aspx#">Michael Miller Color Me</a> fabrics are available on our website. Today Carter spent the afternoon coloring his new placemat grandma made for him. We decided to use washable markers so he can use it over and over at different meals. He had a great time and yes he had a little help from his godmother, Susanna.<br />

Since Carter has officially given up nap time at the Quilt Basket, not only have we been missing swim lessons in the evenings, but we also need to have extra snuggle time at work.<br />
<br />
Carter and I officially began story time yesterday morning at the Beekman Library. This means we come in to work in the early afternoon on Thursdays, and yesterday I think this worked out well. We walked in to the shop to a disaster of different bottles and liquids on the carpet. Apparently, when everyone else came in yesterday morning they found one of our shelves containing Retayne, Synthrapol, and Best Press on the floor. I'm glad we were not around for Carter to play in the mess! This leads me to my tip of the week:<br />
<br />
We love Best Press. It's the only spray starch we use in the shop to iron our fabric. It protects fabric from stains and wrinkles. While other spray starches make the fabric stiff, Best Press does not. It comes in several lovely scents to make ironing more enjoyable!<br />
<br />

I was pretty nervous about the first lesson for a few reasons. First of all, Carter hasn't really been "swimming" since last summer, which to him is a lifetime away. Secondly, it is Monday through Friday evening, which isn't always Carter's most cooperative time of the day. Surprisingly, Carter had a fabulous time on Monday and Tuesday! He enjoyed all of the fun water games they played including singing new songs, and seemed to make some new friends. However, Wednesday it was back to work at the Quilt Basket and someone refused to take his afternoon nap. Of course this meant he fell asleep on the way home and regretfully I woke him up to attempt swim lessons...let's just say we did not attend swim lessons and the rest of the evening was interesting! Thursday he once again refused to sleep but I talked to him in the car to keep him awake until we got to the lake. Although Carter did not exactly win the participation award, at least we were able to attend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We do not have lessons today because of the holiday but I am hoping next week goes a little smoother, especially since I signed him up for 4 weeks straight! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Everyone seemed to like my "Quilting Tips" section last week advising how to clean your rotary cutting boards, so this week I have a new tip for you! I received quite a few phone calls and in store customers inquiring about whether or not to wash their fabrics before quilting with them. We have found in the last few years the suggestion to always wash your fabrics prior to working with them has been removed by some of the manufacturers. In fact, some actually recommend not prewashing your fabrics. The only exception I find to the rule is if I am working with any kind of hand dyed or batik style fabrics. These fabrics tend to run and I would hate to find out after my quilt was all together! I do test a corner of the fabric to see if they actually will bleed, if not I leave them alone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This leads me to tell you about my tip of the week... I have been asked many times about the difference between Retayne and Synthrapol. To be honest I used to have to look it up a lot because I would always forget. So here it is!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJnd2nn5lwnG821flirfef129D7wQtjYfoW6RvrjrWZv6pSmzOJNIRmJGsb5mzMijwNvHgPG0FV5vQ7pXzX7lDB7qOdOm_xMUASZLR25yCktT9atJETNm8HZUV6XLdvwzDoTl6KrFTWzo-/s1600/retayne.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJnd2nn5lwnG821flirfef129D7wQtjYfoW6RvrjrWZv6pSmzOJNIRmJGsb5mzMijwNvHgPG0FV5vQ7pXzX7lDB7qOdOm_xMUASZLR25yCktT9atJETNm8HZUV6XLdvwzDoTl6KrFTWzo-/s320/retayne.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9DUIejnrKPx60Y6D0Bdt01IOpPOKoJV5az_Q6TE5Slvmb8YkhqHF3BAboJEABXm0lujf1L_rRVPMZTCrnu8kjV8OvfE60aUiR7JhOBHWNlkBm-T3eBP9b1UNJb-Ux34VMD7gwM0RuVxcU/s1600/ret16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Retayne is a color fixative for commercially dyed cotton, linen or rayon fabrics that bleed. In other words, Retayne is the product to be used in order to STOP your fabrics from bleeding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Synthrapol removes excess dye from hand dyed fabrics. It can also be used to remove sizing prior to dyeing fabrics. In other words, Sythrapol should be used once you realize you forgot to test your hand dyed fabrics or batiks and they bleed onto other fabrics. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In summary, when your fabric is still in yardage, wash it in Retayne. Once the fabrics are sewn together and your quilt is complete, wash in Synthrapol. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have been having a blast with the Row by Row this year. We have had so many new customers come into our Pawling Shop. Not only have they enjoyed seeing our Frog Row, but they have also really liked our Cutie Packs and Patterns. The most common response once we explain and show them the collections is "Oh how CUTE!" I guess we picked the right name for our collections!!!</span><br />

Now that school is out the library is also apparently a very popular place to be. Carter and I go to Story Time every Thursday morning at the Pawling library and have never had a problem signing up, until now. Turns out the toddler sessions are all full and we have been put on the wait list. This does make us sad, but I may sneak down there on Thursdays mornings and see if Ms. Karen will let us in if some of the children don't show up. Fingers crossed!!<br />
<br />
My mother-in-law came for a visit the end of May to help celebrate Carter's 2nd birthday party. We live in a ranch style home and we have 2 bedrooms on the north side and 2 bedrooms on the south side of our house. We use the 2 bedrooms on the north side of my house as my sewing room and our guest bedroom. Because of this we have a child gate blocking Carter from going down that hallway and we keep our kitty litter box down there. You may be wondering why I am sharing all of this useless information with you, but wait.... a story is coming!! <br />
<br />
While my mother-in-law was visiting, I put the kitty litter box in my sewing room so it wasn't in her way and because I knew I would be too busy that week to work on any of my "works in progress." Now that Carter's week is over and my mother-in-law has gone home, I am back to quilting in my sewing room and the kitty litter is back in its normal position in the hallway near the guest bathroom. However, my cutting mat is on the floor in my sewing room and even though it has been vacuumed and wiped off, I can tell it still has a gritty layer from the kitty litter that must have been kicked out of the box. Finding this extremely annoying as well as unsanitary to the clean freak I am, I investigated "how to clean a rotary cutting board." I thought this might be fun information to share with you in case you ever needed to clean yours. I also learned that it is recommended that we clean our boards periodically to help with the "self healing," which in turn will help your rotary blades from dulling as quickly. <br />
<br />
Here are the directions in case you are interested in trying this. I know what I am going to do when I get home tonight. I'm sure Carter will love to help me since water and bath time are favorite activities of his.<br />
<br />
Fill your bathtub with room temperature water. It is important to make sure the water is not hot, cold or warm but actually room temperature. Add a 1/4 cup of vinegar and a splash of a mild dish detergent. This should make a nice thick lather. Scrub the mat gently with a soft brush, like a toothbrush. Rinse the mat with cold water making sure to remove all of the residue. Air dry but be sure not to have it in direct sunlight and to have it flat. This will prevent warping. The reason this is a good procedure to periodically complete, is the "self healing" materials with actually absorb the water and make the mat supple again.<br />

I hope you found my tip helpful! I'm investigating a couple of other ideas to share with you weekly. If you have anything you would like me to research, please let me know and I would be happy to see what I can find out.<br />
<br />
I am starting to schedule classes and events for September through December for our Fall Newsletter. I wanted to make sure everyone knew right away about the Fall Quilting Retreat we have scheduled for Saturday October 17th and Sunday October 18th. This 2 full day event is a very popular class so please let us know if you are interested in signing up. The fee is $350 which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. If you are from out of town and need a room, we recommend the Hilton Garden Inn located in Danbury CT. Here is a link to their website:<br /><a href="http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/connecticut/hilton-garden-inn-danbury-DNBDHGI/index.html" target="_blank">http:<wbr></wbr>//hiltongardeninn3.<wbr></wbr>hilton.<wbr></wbr>com/en/hotels/connecticut/hilt<wbr></wbr>on-garden-inn-danbury-DNBDHGI/<wbr></wbr>index.html<wbr></wbr></a><br /><br />
This is Debby's write up of the class.<br /><br />Fun, Fresh, and Funky Fillers<br />Whether you’ve never quilted a stitch before or you are just looking for some<br />new quilting ideas, you will discover some new quilting methods, markings, and<br />designs that will inspire you to finish your own quilt tops.<br /><br />Where the Rubber Meets the Road<br />All machine quilters love to learn new patterns, but how do you actually use<br />them on a quilt? This class will take some quilting designs and show you how to<br />use them on the quilt tops that you already have stacked up at home.<br /><br />Bonus: Make a Cutie Accessory project by the end of your two days.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions, please let me know.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It has been a busy few weeks around here! My cousin Susanna graduated from Kennedy Catholic High School and there has been a lot of celebrating. We are very proud of her for graduating Valedictorian and getting a scholarship to Notre Dame. Now that she is off from school for the summer, we are getting in as much time with her as we can around the Quilt Basket for her creativity and babysitting skills! I think she gets a little bored coloring with Carter since she is far past the "coloring in the lines," but for Carter it's a lot of fun and he is getting spoiled with all of the attention. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Note her shoes in the photo...they were at hit at the graduation and people are still talking about them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We are excited that the Row by Row is beginning this Sunday! This year's theme was H2O and it led us to create a Row using Frogs since the <span style="font-size: 16px;">"FROGS- Friends of the Great Swamp" are located here in Pawling. Enjoy your Shop HOPPING - RIBBIT RIBBIT! We named our Row "Cutie Frogs."</span></span><br />

<br />
It has been a very busy last few weeks!! My parents, Carter, and I all went to Minneapolis for Quilt Market on the 15th. I have to admit I was so nervous about the flights and layovers with an almost 2 year old, but Carter was fantastic! Not only did he love the flights, but he slept for his normal schedule in MN. He was so good, my father bought him a present when we got home!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My father is from MN and we were able to see our family members when we were out there too. I haven't seen any of them since my wedding 4 years ago, so it was very exciting!<br />

Thursday we spent the day at the family farm. Unfortunately it rained all day, but Carter still had fun climbing on the tractors. That evening it did clear up enough that he was able to take a ride on the Gator with my cousin Ladd.<br />

Friday my Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Michael played with Carter while my parents and I spent the day at Market. We had so much fun seeing all of the new fabrics coming out soon. I will be getting a few things up on our website for preorders. If you follow me on <a href="https://instagram.com/quiltbasketny/">Instagram</a>, you probably saw most of the new things we are expecting!<br />

Saturday, my parents gave me the day off to spend with my cousin Jodi and her daughter Morgan. Morgan is 18 Months old and almost as active as Carter. Jodi and I decided to take them to the zoo. As you can imagine, chasing 2 toddlers around a crowded zoo was pretty entertaining for everyone around. I do wish we were closer so we could have more playdates like that!<br />

As much fun as a few days in Minnesota was, it was pretty nice to get home to my husband on Sunday night. Carter was so excited to see his daddy he stayed awake until we got home, even though it was 10:30PM! <br />
<br />
Last week was Carters 2nd birthday!! I cannot believe my little guy is 2!! My mother-in-law came up from Florida for the week to help us celebrate. I was able to reuse some of the decorations I made for Carter's 1st birthday this year. I had the Happy Birthday banner, Balloon fabric tablecloth and the Birthday boy's chair cover. When I made this last year, I attached a "1" with Velcro. This year I attached a "2"!! Some of you may remember Carter's cake last year, which was a huge undertaking. This year instead of focusing on the outside decorations, I decided to focus on the inside. Believe it or not, my polka-dot cake came out exactly as I had planned!! Carter of course could care less about the colors or shape of the cake, but he really did enjoy eating it! I'm already starting to think about the cake for next year!!<br />

<br />
My mom, Carter and I are getting ready to go to Quilt Market in Minneapolis next week. Not only am I really looking forward to seeing all of the new products coming out in 2015 but I cannot wait to see my relatives that leave nearby. I have not had an opportunity to see any of them since my wedding in 2011. I'm sure Carter will have a blast hanging out with his second cousin Morgan, who turned 1 in December. In addition Carter LOVES tractors, wait until he sees the large tractors at my Uncle Michael's farm. I think he's going to think he is dreaming!!! <br />
<br />
I also think he is going to be really excited when I show him his new backpack. I bought this special for his trip to fill with his favorite things to do on the plane. I could not resist getting the backpack with his favorite show "Chica"<br />

We were also very honored to receive the award below from Handi Quilter this week. As many of you may know, this award is really for my father, Allan. He sells and services Handi Quilter Longarm machines for us. He was very proud to add this to our Handi Quilter plaque shelf.<br />

Last week we had our first of 8 Technique of the Month Classes with Jackie Kunkel. Everyone had so much fun learning new Judy Niemeyer techniques.

I cannot wait to see them finished and share all of the fabulous quilts with you.<br /><br />

I started a new <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/c-123-Cuties.aspx">Cutie pattern</a> last week using the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-884-tonga-spice.aspx#">Timeless Treasures Tonga Spice Line</a>. Of course once I had the entire top together, I decided I wanted to change it. So I spent the last couple of nights taking it apart and laying it back out in a different arrangement. I think once you see the new version, you are going to love it! Here's a peak at the one I took apart.<br />

show you in the next few weeks. Next week as I mentioned, I will be at
quilt market. The following week, believe it or not, my little Carter
will be 2!! So as much as I have planned in quilting, Carter and I will
be taking a few days off to spend with my mother-in-law from Florida
and have a Birthday Week of FUN!! <br />
<br />
Many of you may remember the infamous cake I made for Carter's 1st Birthday Party! I did have a test run for Carter's 2nd birthday cake and although somehow my oven was shut off and the cake came out burned on the top and raw all the way through, I do think I'm going to get my poka-dot effect as desired. Here is a photo as a reminder of Carter's cake last year and the photo of my goals for this year!<br />

We have been busy getting ready for the Northern Quilts Guild Quilt Show in Somers, NY. We always look forward to this show at Kennedy Catholic High school and were sad to hear this show will be moved to a different location next year. If you are in the area please stop by and see our booth. We have our Cutie Quilts hanging and lots of Cutie Packs to choose from. We also have a new "Chubbie Box" Collection containing 16 Fat Quarters. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Carter came down with a cold over the weekend which meant Monday and Tuesday we stayed in. Long naps meant I was able to work on some of my unfinished projects! I started with my Forest Abstractions Quilt and it came out great. I was so excited that yesterday I spent the majority of my day machine quilting it. The disappointment came around 5:30 last night when I realized it wasn't coming out exactly as I had planned. This afternoon I will be taking all of my quilting out so I can start over again tomorrow. I was of course sad but I'm sure we have all had the moment when we realized we would rather do it right then be disappointed in the final project, especially after putting so much time into the quilt itself. This quilt is a block of the month I have been teaching and plan on having this again for our next session. Be sure to check out our <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/t-newsletters.aspx">newsletter</a> the end of April to see the classes we have scheduled.<br />

On Tuesday afternoon Carter went down for another nice long nap and I worked on my stars for the Loco for Lemoyne Quilt. Once again I was really excited at how nice these came out. This will also be a class I will be teaching in the near future. Here is a glance at when I have finished so far. I will be sure to share the quilt with you once I have completed it.<br />

I was apparently not the only one in my family catching up on projects this week.

<br />
I am sitting down in the office of the Quilt Basket to write this blog and it is eerily quiet. I can actually think clearly and have time to write it down without interruption! This is thanks to my parents for taking Carter for the afternoon! We are excited that my niece, Nora, and my nephew, Alton, came to visit for the weekend. My mom, Cathy, did come in this morning to teach her class but then left with Carter to have a play-date at home. It is amazing how much my Aunt Anne and I can get done without a toddler undoing everything we just did! :-)<br />
<br />
We did receive a couple new lines of fabric in this week. Fourth of July is right around the corner and we received the <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-912-land-of-the-free.aspx#">Northcott Land of the Free fabric line</a>. This line has a fabulous Panel that would be great bordered and hung on a front door! I certainly plan to put one together for my house before July 4th! Believe it or not we also started receiving Halloween fabric! I know it seems early, but this line from <a href="http://www.quiltbasket.com/s-913-happy-halloween.aspx#">Free Spirit, Happy Halloween</a> is very cute! <br />
