Just when you thought the weddings were over...

They pulled you back in! Congratulations to Corey and Michelle! Cathy and Allan's son is getting hitched, that is all 3 kids married in 2 years! Whew that is a lot of quilting.

Aric and Jennifer got the stunning Wedding Quilt done in blues (Jennifers favorite - smart mother-in-law),


Sarah and Craig got a new design - Sarah's Wedding Quilt, which was published in Fabric Trends


and now it's Corey and Michelle's turn. Cathy has raised the bar pretty high, the ladies here are hard at work brainstorming ideas for them.

If you have any ideas or if you want to post Wedding Quilts that you created - we'd love to see them.

B is for Bunny

This sweet quilt is extra special because we used Birch fabric which is organic. Love being environmentally friendly! Sue is going to make pajamas out of the fabric line as well. We'll post pics as soon as she is done.

Trying Something New

Since Cathy is only busy 23 out of 24 hours a day she was concerned about how to fill her down time. Last week she decided to try something new - making clothes. She started with a pattern from Favorite Things, their Hope Skirts. Cathy made the longer one.

Cathy is extremely proud of herself and her new found skill. She firmly believes that if she was able to make this - ANYONE can.
