Have you ever
heard of "Texture Magic". It is a fairly new

is a product that gives texture to fabric by

Textured Tote

We have found
this really fun new product for you and this bag is
a great way to show it off ! It's called "Texture
Magic" and it turns plain fabric into wonderful
dimensional fabric. The bag is simple to construct
so we can spend our time playing with the texture to
create something that is truly one of a kind. This
will be a lot of fun and once you learn the
technique, you'll want to keep making more! Pattern

Anniversary Celebration
Saturday, July 17
Did you know
we have been in business 10 years? That's 10 years
of hard work, lots of fun, meeting new friends and
helping customers to become successful quilt makers.
Oh, the fabric, notions, books and patterns. The
shows, the travel to market, the events at the shop,
the madness (some days). All in good fun, we still
love quilting. We have seen many employees come and
then go on to other adventures. We have seen the
trends change and recycle themselves. New and ever
improving notions and toys to make quilt-making
quicker and easier for those of us who seem to be
lacking in free time. Join us as we celebrate 10
years and begin to plan for another 10 years.
