These are a few of my favorite APPS: Quilting
I received an iPod Touch for Mother’s Day a few years ago, and it has been one of my favorite presents ever. Besides all the standard apps that come with it – address book, calendar, calculator, and the multitude of games I’ve acquired, I have a handful of apps that are very handy in my [...]

Nifty Notions
As much as I love fabric and yarn, there is a certain thrill that comes from a really cool or fun or useful notion. Today a small box from Bryson Distributors arrived, and I was not disappointed with the contents! (Which of course, is a good thing since I ordered everything in the box!). I [...]
Christmas in May
I know it’s hard to believe, but Christmas fabric is being delivered to the shop almost weekly. My two favorite companies for Christmas fabric are Benartex for the Nancy Halvorsen panels and coordinates and Makower UK for their Advent calendars. We are now in possession of the new pieces for 2010. This of course means [...]
