Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays everyone!

It will be just too hard to blog over this next week or two, so we will have to pick up the give-aways after the holidays.

But just to do one last give-away, send in your comments on your favorite gifts you have either bought to give or have received this holiday season.

We will pick out a surprise give-away sometime in the middle of next week.

Have a great holiday break!

Saturday December 19th

Ok, folks. I am skipping a day on the give-away.

Linda Barron won the scarf give-away. Email us your address to male your gift or come visit the shop to pick it up.

Voile Scarf

Ok, I have to post on the Anna Maria Horner Voile again because it is so luscious.

This photo is not great but it was a last minute photo before wrapping up this great scarf I made for a Christmas present. I used two 1/3 yard pieces sewn together at one end so the piece measures about 12" x 112". Then I folded it lengthwise with right sides together and ironed it. I sewed across each end and down the sides to a point in the middle leaving about 5 inches open. I turned it right side out and hand stitched the hole closed, ironing it well after. This makes a really nice, soft, long scarf in about 20 minutes flat. What a great gift.

Today I am going to give away enough of one of Anna's fabrics to make one of these scarves.

Email in any pictures you have of hand-made gifts you have made this holiday season to our email, intownquilters@earthlink.net. Make sure to put scarf post in the subject line so I notice the emails amongst the hundreds I get daily.

And the winner of the bird fat quarters is....

Jane from Duluth. Jane come see us sometime to pick up your fats or email the shop if you want us to mail them.

Congrats!

I love it...

Leah won the Anna Maria Horner flannel fat quarter give-away. Leah, come on in and pick out five fats you would like since you are local.

As for todays' give-away. In honor of a really neat youtube video on my friend Shannon's blog we are going to give away five fat quarters with birds on them. The video is really cool so make sure you go look at it! Then  come back and tell us if you like birds or not since some people just love them and others have a real aversion to them.

Make sure when you comment that there is a way we can link back to you if you win. Anonymous commenters are too hard to get in touch with, so you may not ever win that way.

December 2nd winner announcement!

Kimber Medley won the December 2nd give-away. Kimberly, email us your address to send out your fat quarters and let me know which line you want them from.

Anna Maria Horner Fabric in!

Yeah,

We are so excited that we got in most of the Anna Maria Horner fabric we ordered from Free Spirit Fabrics. You can see here, the Dobby Dots in the stripes, the blue colorway of the panel, a dress made out of some of the Voile and swatches of all of the flannel. All the fabric is so luscious! You just have to fondle it.












Anna had some of the cutest little kids' clothing made out of the Dobby Dots and Voile in her booth at market. The fabric is so soft that it is perfect for a baby's skin. It would also make great spring and summer weight clothing for us big people.



Also Anna is coming out with a new book in the spring called Handmade Beginnings which you should watch our for because it has some great projects for new babies, which leads us to our next give-away. Send us in your comments about what your favorite new-baby gift is that you like to give. I think for our give-away for today, we will give away five fat quarters from the Folksy flannel group. This flannel is so soft, it would make some great burp cloths, diaper-covers, and new-baby blankets.
