Another Reason to Look Forward to October!

(Sorry in advance for my lack of pictures and my excessive use of CAPTIAL letters!)
Seriously, October is one of my favorite months because my birthday is in that month! But, there is a very cool looking book coming out in October. You can read more about it on Elizabeth Hartman's blog, Oh, Fransson! Another totally AWESOME book that we have ON ORDER is by one of my favorite designers, Sandi Henderson. Her book is called Sewing Bits and Pieces and it will be arriving very soon! I have been anxiously awaiting this book to arrive at United Notions for a LOOOOONG time, actually since LAST October and fall Quilt Market! Now it's time for Spring Quilt Market! You know, with this great technology of digital cameras, wireless Internet, and blogs, we can all feel like we are AT Spring Quilt Market even if we can't physically be there. I hope to gather some links to the blogs of people who WILL be there and post those so you can get a sneak peek of what is going to be coming out this fall. I'll give you a hint...it's stretchy and normally people are pretty hesitant to sew with it, but once they do, they LOVE it! Great for baby stuff too. Can you guess what it is? I'm taking all guesses in the form of comments on this post. Have a great evening, tomorrow's Friday and marks the end of my first full week back at work full time, yippee!! (I rewarded myself by buying some fabric, of course.) Possibly only 15 more weeks until this job is done!

Happy Stitches,
Anna

New Items Listed

Yes, we took a week off but there are now three new items listed on our shop! We have a new adorable tote bag made with the popular blue bird fabric designed by Tina Givens for Free Spirit Fabrics. (Click on any of the links below the pictures to go directly to that listing.)

Blue Bird Tote Bag

That blue ric rac just adds the perfect touch to this bag!

Vintage Apron

Next is a fabulous apron made with the cutest Snippets line from American Jane for Moda. It is a modern day approach to a vintage style with ric rac embellishments and a blue and white checkered lining.

Country Apron

And last but not least (this is my favorite) an upcycled denim apron. Regina (the master seamstress) took a denim skirt that was headed for the trash and added some cute country charm by putting a pieced row of squares along the bottom with some vintage looking lace trim! There is a pocket on the front which is handy for keeping track of your timer and it is lined for extra protection from spills.

These are all FEATURED items in our shop this week. If you purchase any of our featured items, we will send you a special surprise with your order. Also, if you are purchasing this as a gift for someone special and would like a card made to go with it, just let me know and I'll include one at no extra charge!

Thank you and happy shopping!
