SEW much sewing on Fall Break. I love this time of the year. I still have to put borders on. I will post a finished quilt. Then quilt it. Maybe I can get it done before HALLOWEEN!!!!

I'm so excited I finally finished my humble pie quilt. It is now to the quilters here is a little photo preview, I will post the finished quilt when I get it back.

This beautiful stack of blocks are my HUMBLE PIE!!! They are blocks for a quilt called Sqaure to the Nines. This quilt is for Broadbent's in Lehi, using nautral colors. I thought it would take a short time, but it has been a humbling experience. Watch for the finished quilt to be posted later.

And the WINNER IS............... Gwen from Alabama!!!! Yeah Gwen if you could email me your address at thecherrytreecottage@yahoo.com I will get your book in the mail. Congradulations!!! It was so fun to read everyone's Spring memories. Thanks everyone for particpating.

Here is a view of my quilt, with the center flowers.

It is with great pleasure that I have an oppurtunity to share my pattern in the new book, Spring time in the Rockies. I had so much fun designing this quilt. When I am in the moutains I can see stepping stones as you walk through the new blooms of Spring.

I am giving a book away in a drawing. Post a comment about your favorite spring memory. I know that is Fall. But spring will be in bloom before we know it. Keep checking in and I will be giving away some new cookies from Moda.

I am so blessed to have the oppurtunity to have an Book and Blog Tour with some amazing ladies and quilter. Go to mooseontheporch.blogspot.com and see how the Tour will take place.

Blog Tour Starts TODAY!!!!!!

Just arrived from the UPS truck, new cookies from Moda.  It will be fun to use them in a new pattern.

Coming soon Blog Tour for the new Book : Spring Time in the Rockies.

Doors

One door has closed. Time to open up a new one. Saturday was our last day at 266 N main, in Spanish Fork. It was a busy day -- which was great! It kept us from being to "leaky".

On Monday, we did inventory (which didn't take very long - woohoo!) packed every thing up and hauled it all away. Cleaned and then we turned in our keys to the landlord - now that was hard. We had a really great landlord and we will miss him and the whole gang.

You will still be able to find us -- at the same phone number and web site. Whats the saying???

Gone but not forgotten.

Marie Antoinette class is still ongoing. First Saturday of the month at 9 am. We will try to call all involved and get you the address of where we are meeting. If you haven't heard from us, give us a call or leave a message.

Maniac Monday

wow! Time is just flying by. It is our last monday at our current location (before we start our online adventure). I don't know about all of you, but I feel kindof numb at the moment. Fabric, notions and books are flying out the doors. Fixtures are being sold and leaving the place as soon as they get emptied. Old displays are for sale at below fabric cost! Need a quick gift? Come check out what we have -- all the work has been done for you. ;);)

Today we are going to put the store at 40% off fabic, notions, patterns and books. Displays and fixtures are not included. We still need to get rid of more inventory.

Happy Stitchin

Time Flying By

It has been a whirl wind couple of weeks. The support from everyone that has come into the store has been very supportive. Thank you.



We have one more week to go and then our brick and mortar doors will be closed. Yes it is sad, but it is what needs to be done. We will miss the day to day contact that we have with everyone. The good news is, you will still be able to get ahold of us -- ON LINE and over the phone (we will still have the same number)!!!! Our new adventure will be to try selling things online. Frankly that scares me more than most anything right now. So in advance, my apologies for the amount of time that it will take us to learn the ins and outs of the web page. All I can say is, thank the good Lord for young ones that are patient and will teach us how to do this.



Anyho -- things are going fast. We are down to less than half of the store in fabric, thread is almost all gone and so is the ric rac. Most of the fixtures are being bought and there is stilll a good amount for sale. HOWEVER -- THE DINING TABLE AND CHAIRS AND MATCHING BUFFET ARE NOT!!!! Unless you are willing to pay me an OBSCENE amount of money, don't bother asking!!!! just so you know.. (Total strangers are coming in out of the wood works and asking for my table and buffet -- It is really WEIRD!)

So come on in and visit while you still can and if not, come visit us at on the web
