Hexie Mug Rug

Greetings!

Last week we had a fun class of making a Hexagon Mug Rugs. They all turned out so darn cute I just had to share them with you. At the end of the show and tell I have a YouTube video from Creative Grids; the maker of the Hexagon Trim Tool! Enjoy. 

This ruler is so easy to use, fun and really addictive!








Have a wonderful day full of quilting and sewing fun!

Quilt Show

Greetings all!

Well we survived. The quilt show was a great success. Well done to all the volunteers and coordinators, it is a very large undertaking! Congrats to you all.

The Cloth Castle sponsored 2 large door prizes. We managed to snap a quick picture of Jennifer Watson with her new Husqvarna sewing machine.  Congratulations Jennifer! Jennifer is local quilter and longarm quilter in the Victoria area, her work is incredible. It is wonderful that her hard work was recognized and honored!


We spent the weeks before the quilt show sewing our hearts out, I can honestly say I have never slept so well at night. I just would fall into bed and lights out! It was all worth it though, the quilts came out great. Here are a couple shots of the booth. Sorry they are a bit blurry....lightening wasn't good in the arena.




So the store is back together and tidy once again. Now we just are going to add a bit more quilting to the samples and get them hung up! I will admit we get the binding on the quilts and then after the show take the time to quilt them! Now you know our secrets! Thank goodness for 505 basting spray!

For those of you who were at the show I hope you all had a wonderful time and left completely inspired!

Have a quilty day in this rain,
