Very cool. The little girl fabric is in senna browns. two different panels and lots of fabrics to match.

I am very excited about all the new room we will have to showcase our beautiful fabrics. I am going to add more notions and items to make your quilting easier and fun.

Classes will start up again in May. I will be sending newsletter the end of this month.

If anyone would like to make the pillow wrap, please contact me, I did not put it on the class schedule, but I would be able to teach it on a day there is not a class already.

Quilt market fabric is started to arrive and will be arriving until may through September. I also ordered after quilt market. The new Halloween fabric , MonsterBash and Boo will be here in May. It is so cute. The patterns that go with the fabric are quick, easy and fun to make.
   Hervey is really mastering the longarm so If you have projects to be quilted, he's your man.
I took a trip to Tennesse and brought back some new Marcus Civil war fabrics for the new Block of the Month starting in May and for the Prairie Women's Sewing Circle club gathering 1 was a lot of fun, we have doubled the members and hope to keep growing . We will be doing gathering 2 on May 23rd at 6:00 pm. It is interesting to learn about our sisters that paved the way for us. It has taught us to create such wonderful memories that we can pass on to our children and generations to come.

The prairie womens sewing cirlce is a lot of fun and educational as well. We will be starting Journey Two in April, so you need to get signed up as soon as possible. We had great lessons about how the pioneer women lived and quilted. The quilting machine they used was very different from the ones used today. We also learned about women's sufferage and how they gained status and finally were able to vote and have a say in what happened in their lives. If you are interested in signing up, please let me know ahead of time so I can order enough packets. The charge is $35 for 6 meetings. The meetings are once a month. I am looking at the 3rd Monday of the month, 6:00 pm. If you would like more info, give me a call. (219) 733-9980. I wonder what the pioneer ladies would think of all the innovative quilting tools we have and the selection of such interesting fun fabrics to use in our quilting projects today. Come journey with us through the threads of time.

Pam Buda, the creator of Prairie Women's Sewing Circle has teamed up with Marcus Civil War fabrics. She has designed a line of Civil War fabrics that are gorgeous. I will be ordering some of those for our club when they become available.
