The Annual Year-End Christmas Sale continues for a couple more days. Thank you everyone for clearing out the stock room!

As for shipping, orders placed after Dec 27th will not ship until Jan 6th(ish). The sale will automatically turn itself off Dec 31st.

Quilt Uber-Fest Day #15: hills & valleys

October 15, 2011 in Misc by emily | 10 comments

Welcome to Quilt Uber-Fest Day #15!

Scott Hansen/Blue Nickel Studios organized this little shin-dig full of Nel Whatmore’s upcoming Free Spirit collection, Sleeping Beauty, and Kaffe Fasset Wovens.

I think I picked the windiest day ever to get pictures (I looked at the weather later in the day and it turns out there was some kind of small boating advisory because of the wind). I was trying to be all clever and take a pictures of ‘hills & valleys’ with the actual hills and valleys of the Olympics in the background.

Take #1: Yeah, that didn’t work.

Take #2: Progress? Not really.

Take #3: Just hold it sideways. Perfect.

Scrap Republic Blog Tour Day 5: Yellow

October 7, 2011 in Misc by emily | 3 comments

Let’s hop on over to see what Pat Sloan has to say about the sunshine color: yellow.

To me? Yellow=summer. It seems like just about everyone snarks on Seattle’s weather. While, yes, there is a lot of grey and drizzle in the winter, the summers? Flippin’ amazing. Sunshine. Blue skies. No humidity and a gentle breeze off the water. And the beach within walking distance. Perfect.

Though perhaps this would be a good spot to mention yellow is also the color of my third child:

Francesco is looking mighty envious. Liam draws so many Wall-Es that his yellow pencil gets sharpened away quite quickly.

Today is another chance to win one of the awesome prizes we have lined up!

Scrap Republic Blog Tour Day 2: Pink

October 4, 2011 in Books, Misc by emily | 4 comments

Day Two brings us to pink.

So technically pink isn’t part of roy g biv, but if you look at the fabrics out there you’ll know that there’s a lot of pink. So it went in. I had to. Maeve would have been seriously mad if I skipped pink.

The obvious stop for today is the wonderful Kathy Mack @ Pink Chalk Studio.

When I think of pink, I think of Maeve. Lover of pink since 2004.
