Also JUST IN:

Joel Dewberry's gorgeous new line "Modern Meadow." 

As you may have already heard me mention, I am infatuated with these!!! I am racking my brain for the perfect project to feature them in but I just can't narrow it down to one. 

They are so beautiful with a modern simplicity but a very nostalgic feel. The tiny flowers make me feel happy and I just wish I could be sitting in that sweet meadow right now, wearing a springy little dress made from these dreamy fibers. 

And an adorable, mixed grouping from Michael Miller. 

I didn't know these had come in and when I spotted them on the self yesterday, I immediately pulled them down to shoot pictures. Saying out loud 'Oh my goodness' and 'Ohh, these are so cute' and 'Oh I love these so much' and 'awwww.' Janelle must have thought I'd lost it, but they really are just too precious (and with that she agrees)!!!

I'm also brainstorming on what to make from these little critter prints... Aelyn does need some new spring skirts.... as if I don't have enough on my to do list already! Ahhh... 

If only I had about 10 more hours in my day... I'd be sewing up a storm!

I'm currently working on my first ever quilt, a Dresden plate. I am taking Mary's class and desperately trying to keep up, while I choose to make mine extra large! There is lots of hand sewing to be done and it is currently occupying all of my sewing time. But it's looking pretty good thus far and I know the final result will be very rewarding.

Well now I'm gonna hop off to do a little of that right now, while my little ladies still napping!

'til next time,

:) April

Gorgeous "Garden Party"

As if a SALE is not enough. There are many reasons to stop by the shoppe this weekend. So many reasons to SEW!!!
We received our shipment of the new Anna Maria Horner "Garden Party" over a week ago, and while preparing for vacation and everything else I never got around to giving these gorgeous prints the proper post they deserve. Anna Maria is my favorite designer right now. I can't get enough of her. I read her blog religiously. She is wonderfully fresh and inspiring. Just look at these these prints! They are so rich, saturated with color . . . yummy.

we're home/special thanks.

Well we're home. Vacation was lovely but it's also nice to be back. Normality is slowly setting in as we readjust into our day to day schedules.

If you stopped by the shoppe this Saturday you may have seen some new faces, our dear friends Martha and Anne. Anita was not yet back from her break, so Anne and Martha ran the show.
It is wonderful to have such lovely friends. Thank you both. We love you lots.

Also, don't forget our... Customer Appreciation Sale this coming Friday and Saturday, August 15th and 16th. Take 20% off lots of great prints. For more info and to see pictures look to our previous post Tuesday, August 5, 2008 or stop by Sew to Speak at 4610 N. High St.

...some vacation photos soon to come.
bye bye for now.

Thanks for your kind words!

I've been checking every few days. Anxiously hoping.... wondering... "are people reading?"..

And you are! The word is out. Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and compliments on the blog and the shoppe.

If you've stopped by the shoppe this week you may have been disappointed to find that our doors are closed. My mom, Anita, left for her very deserved vacation on Sunday morning. Lucky me, I'll be joining her later in the week along with my husband and our daughter. Anita will return just in time to re-open the Shoppe on Saturday, August 9th (11am- 5pm).

Soon after we return from our vacation... we'll be having an awesome Sale! To celebrate you, our fabulous customers.
