The Southern California Quilt Run starts this week and all stores have extended hours Thursday – Saturday from 9am – 6pm and on Sundays from 10 am – 4pm.  The Theme is Sew What’s in Your Garden and we were given the Tropical Garden.   The secret has been out for awhile that What’s in our Tropical Garden is Flamingos! 

Pretty in Pink.  During the event, show us your best pink attire for a chance to win a tropical gift basket.  Can you wear too much pink?  I think not… we are expecting to see pink go to the next level, show us your best outrageous outfit in pink!

Flamingo Obsession.  Show us your best Flamingo you have for a chance to win a $75.00 store gift certificate.  You can wear a Flamingo, you can show us a Flamingo, you can come decked out head to toe with Flamingos…or bring your Flamingo on a leash! 

We have received a couple of new fabric lines.  Garden Life by Tilda has finally arrived, and we could not be happier.  A serene depicture of florals from nasturtium to poppies with butterfly and bluebird accents.  Four distinctive colorways violets, blues, greens and mustard yellow that all work seamlessly together.  I cannot wait to start sewing with this collection. 

Watercolor Beauty from In the Beginning Fabrics.  Small scale roses, tulips, orchids and daisies in crisp, soft colors sure to evoke sweet dreams in any project. 

Dance in Paris has just arrived, and I cannot wait to unpack and arrange on the floor.  We are still waiting on a few pieces and kits… when we have the complete collection, we’ll give a shout out. 

Our pillowcase count is going up!  We now have 105 cases thanks to our latest donations from Kathleen and  Jeniene.  Thank you so much and folks please keep those pillowcases coming.  All cases go to Ryan’s Cases for Smiles.  This organization works tirelessly to supply happy pillowcases to all sick children in the Inland Empire.  The need is sizeable and ongoing, and we are trying to get another 50 – 100 cases donated over this summer.  If you are looking for a feel-good project, please consider making a pillowcase for a sick child.  We are an official drop off location so pass the word on and help us reach our goal. 

See you at the store and during the Southern California Quilt Run… don’t forget wear pink and bring your Flamingo in for a chance to win!
