Snowstorm

Good Morning everyone,

As most of you know, we live in Glenns Ferry. At the moment we are trying to get our daughter back home. She keeps getting stuck on her way to work in Mountain Home. We have about 5-6" of snow and it is still snowing.

We may not make it in to the shop today.

We will keep you posted.

Hope you can all stay home and quilt!

New Arrival - "Old MacDonald's Farm" Collection from Red Rooster!

Just in from Red Rooster!

"Old MacDonald's Farm"

E-I, E-I, Oh! The classic children’s song comes to life in this cheerful fabric collection by Ingrid®! The theme is set with the playful panel design that features a large central farm-scene block surrounded by six framed farm images. A thematic, repeating stripe showcases all of the farm animals happily engaged in their daily live and the words of the song are included in every stripe section. Just adorable! A tossed farm motif print is joined by a lively dot, perky plaid and wavy stripe to complete the group. This collection is perfect not only for quilts but would also make terrific totes, nursery/toddler room items and adorable home dec items to decorate a small tot’s bedroom. Use our project pattern to make a colorful play quilt for your favorite little one!
The panel is 24" x 44".
